Good morning. It's Monday. Remember to smile. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Plan for tomorrow: — code — write — eat — errands — house stuff — bring on the Apocalypse

The Gathering: A new member just showed up and is talking to one of the other members. This one is all white (non-albino). Here it is talking to Creamsicle, one of the outdoor males. (Crappy photo through screen door and glass in darkness). #feral #cat

Greetings. Live your life, and enjoy it. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

I took a lot of heat today.~

The Gathering: Tangerine, the new member is very friendly and affectionate. He let me pick him up. I guess I’ll have to take him for some surgery at some point if he’s going to hang around. #feral #cat

Stop what you’re doing and have some fun.

Yup, it’s this hot. #netde ****
