He loved to hang out under the parked cars in our drive. He was constantly coming inside with grease smears on his white fur! 😹

Going through some old family photos my sister sent me. This is my 1st cat. I was about 4 years old when I got him. I wanted a white cat like my mother had before I was born. My grandmother named him Dr. Benjamin O’Casey. We called him Ben or Casey - it went back and forth.

Black & white photo of a white cat sleeping on an upholstered arm chair. Circa 1969. He was 4 years old in this photo.

This is the best political news I’ve seen in a very long time — so please pass it on👇

Each state can limit Citizens United in their own state & they don’t have to wait for other states to do it.

We finally have Fall temperatures today, and I have my windows open. Just spent the last few hours napping. 😴 Feels amazing.

My former grapefruit addiction has now become a black grape addiction. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

No surprise, considering he also did nothing to provide visas (ahead of the Afghan War drawdown) for the Afghans who had been helping our military.

Almost any time my son is in the car with me to run errands, a Billy Joel song comes on the radio. I tell him it’s the Billy Joel channel & it’s his punishment for not knowing who Billy Joel was. 😂

I just slept a good 10 hours, according to my bipap. Only .3 episodes an hour. That’s even better than I usually do!

About 15 years ago, I learned that our receptionist at work had never heard of Billy Joel. She was my daughter’s age, so I asked my daughter if she knew who Billy Joel was. She said, “He’s a preacher, right?” “No, dear. You’re thinking of Billy Graham.” I failed as a mother! 😂

I’m so sorry. We have a big cold front coming through tonight - the kind that can give my son a migraine. I sympathize with you.

Why do we say "slept like a baby"? Babies wake up every 2 hours crying. I want to sleep like a cat, 14 hours, no responsibility and zero regrets.

Happy Caturday.

It’s been a gradual “comeback” over the last 2 years. A couple of months after having covid in 2023, I was in the hospital for 6 days & on 2.5 months medical leave. For me, it’s a huge win that I no longer need my son’s help to put clean sheets on my bed! I celebrate doing that task by myself.

The best grapes that I ever had in my life were some that I picked from vines in the gardens of Monticello.
