Made a variation on a Victoria sponge with nectarines for a friend’s birthday, today, with homemade nectarine compote and fresh whipped cream. It was a hit, and perfect for the end of summer.

Seeing a lot of cases popping up, but my post #Glasgow2024 COVID test was negative today. Feeling a bit run down, which may just be lingering con drop. Will test again this weekend.

Mushroom giving his regular reminder that it’s okay to just lay down and have a snooze sometimes. Anytime. All the time.

My boss sent me a lovely little care package while I’ve been out on leave, which included a new bed for Mushroom. After getting over his initial suspicions, we’re now all settled in for the snowstorm.

Oh hey, apparently I had a new poem drop back in December and completely missed it!
“These Are Not Your Stories Anymore,” out NewMyths.com’s Winter issue. This is an older piece that was submitted/accepted back in 2022, and it’s always fascinating to me when older work is published to see how much my style has changed since. I still like it, but I can absolutely see the shift.

Hey, runners! I need to replace my old, ancient shoes (which definitely didn’t help my knee injury) and am looking for opinions.
I’m looking for something in the neutral line, good for a forefoot strike runner. Main use would be road/track/treadmill, less trail. Currently eyeing ASICS, Brooks and Mizunos, but curious about people’s experiences.

Remembering when someone ages ago mentioned how different time is for cats vs. people, and how taking ten minutes when they want love and attention can be a small inconvenience for us, but hugely impactful for them.
Since then, I’ve made it a point to try and make at least a little time for Mushroom when he asks for attention*, and I think it’s made both our lives better.
