If you want to read a heartwarming book about the power of friendship, and also the power of cats, may I suggest Cat’s People by @tanyaguerrero.bsky.social ?
The audiobook narration is excellent, including the various meows.

I’ve got my lucky baseball — a foul I caught in Chicago at a Jays game.
May our bats be hot, and pitches be strikes.

If it’s a special day, I’ll be wearing my cat sweater. So nice, I think I’ll knit it twice (Cat sweater the 2nd currently in progress.)

Carrying on the intergenerational tradition of crafting while listening to Jays games.
Adds to the fun when games are going well. A welcome distraction when they’re not.
This game gave me lots of opportunities to focus on building a book nook.

I’m betting after one more game, Lucinda will be fully trained to scream out loud with me at every repetition of the oppo taco ad.

I set my phone to silence unknown numbers due to getting so many spam calls. That setting silenced FOUR spoofing calls from different numbers claiming to be “CIBC” just today.
On the phone with real CIBC now, but sharing as a PSA: if you can silence unknown numbers, it seems a good first defence.

I turned a ball of moth-bitten mystery yarn into a set of fountain pen sleeves. Not bad for the first crack at writing up a pattern, though of course I’d adjust it a little if I made more.
But now my pens will be cozy and tidy and not all clanging together anymore.

Professor Meowmeow (Orange) requires a hug from me as soon as he senses I am awake. I have to be incredibly stealthy to get a photo of him asleep in the morning.
When he can’t get a hug from me he’ll spoon Mr. Pickles (fluffy grey and white).
