The Daily Salem Dispatch is… asleep on the job.

The Daily Salem Dispatch doesn’t know what to make of this windy day! The house is shuddering.

So weird story.

I was busy all day and pretty exhausted.

But then instead of keeping going, I stopped and rested and just watched a movie and snuggled with my cat and like…

I feel less exhausted.

Today is all baking all day. Literally dressing like I’m running a marathon because it kind of is!

Salem now realizes that “crinkly bag sound” means “treats” and comes sprinting to me at its siren’s call.

Calling this done because if I don't I'll keep fussing with the details forever and it's driving me crazy. 😅
Titling this one "Languish" 🦁

Tonight’s cookies are all balls.

Matcha amaretti.
Double chocolate crinkle.
Red velvet chewy.

Your regular reminder that years are constructs and whether or not you had a “good” or “bad” year is just a figment of perception.

Love fiercely. Create valiantly. Take no fucks regularly. Year or era be damned.

The Daily Salem Dispatch is 30’seconds of playing with her favorite (loudest) toy, pouncing like a tigress.

(Yes, she shredded a tassel.)

Absurdly proud of my biscuits.

Second time in a week I’ve been told I was too nerdy.

Welp.

“Why are folks getting dumber?” Because they don’t read. “Why aren’t men as romantic & poetic as they used to be?” Because they don’t read. “Why are people so vulnerable to propaganda?” “Why is everyone a conspiracy theorist?” Because they don’t read. Because they don’t read.

You know you've found your work bestie when you're talking about perfumery fun facts and you start talking about beavers, and he, without losing a beat, says, "Oh, castoreum?"

Things I say to Salem a lot lately:

"Could you please stop?"
"That is not for you."
"Pssh! NO!"
"Don't eat that."
"NO biting."
"Wires are not for kitties."
"What--are--oh no."
"No, that's my skin."

Kittens are the most chaotic joy.
