Every Wednesday morning at 5am, I head down to the local gas station for a burrito and a coffee.
Every Wednesday morning at 5am, the same three old guys are sitting there and drinking coffee.
Today, all three looked up and said "good morning".
Oh shit. This was my "Norm!" moment from Cheers.

I woke Edgar up at 3 or so by saying "Hey! Get up! I heard a mouse in the kitchen! Go get him, boy! Go get him!"
A few minutes later, I figured out that the gears on the oscillating space heater just needed a drop of machine oil and there was no mouse.
He. Is. So. Annoyed.

Tree branch and leaf arrangement is access to sunlight, so an opposite direction of travel

The witch works with cold realities. She walks the mud, she walks the mist. Puddles on the threshold of ice become her scrying pools. Trees become a black scratching against sky gift her a new secret language. No season is hollow of magics. – #EmilyCBanting, 1982 #WitchSky

Made 4 black bean veggie cheeseburgers for dinner.
Gave one to the dog.
He got so excited... until he started chewing.
Then promptly spit it out.
He glared at me as if it a failed assassination attempt.
It's not like I was replacing his dinner. Jeez.

At least when Edgar runs away, I can usually find him trying to catch speeding semi trucks on the highway or sniffing the ass of his poodle girlfriend a few doors down.

Planted a couple of African cacti in my terrarium... with only minor bleeding.
And Edgar picked one up and ran off like it was a cookie that hit the floor. Came running back crying 10 seconds later.
