this is the first time I’ve been able to sit up since my oscopies
I don’t have the energy to go into it all but I am supposed to call the hospital today I was actually supposed to call the day after but my entire being refused the idea

I was sitting on the toilet the other morning when Jupiter came barreling in carrying one of her catnip toy mice in her teeth I bent over to stroke her and thank her for her brave work when she started purring thus dropping the catnip mouse which turned out to be an actual mouse there was nowhere for me to run clearly but I made a lot of squealing squeaky noise after which I washed my hands and went back to bed to hide until Jupiter finished up

good kitty

she is slightly too big to fit on my lap
Jupiter has been torturing an almost empty bottle of Smartwater because she discovered the goldfish “mascot” inside the label this involves loudly banging and slapping noises in the middle of the night as she attempts to murder the fish sometimes she just sits and stares at the bottle perhaps daring the fish to swim away I praise her each time

I took a little trip off the island through Standwood (Stanwood is the only place to go once you leave the island unless you want to be in actual water) to Silvana pop. 90 and stopped at a thrift store where I purchased the quilt pictured above for $18.00 the reason it wasn't priced at $400.00 is because the idiot woman who runs the store shoved the quilt in her home washing machine and several of the tender hand stitched rectangles came unsewn I fixed that in a hurry with needle and thread and the quilt is so lovely all the work put into it once upon a time I also saw this coffeepot in a yard and stopped my car and went into the yard to get a closer look I promise you there is a lot of yard crap around here mostly big plastic crabs and derelict row boats but this coffeepot is pure magic and it looked so good against the storm sky and it made my robot loving heart open right up

along with giant coffeepots and thrift stores I saw a woman in a field with a sheepdog and beautiful beige sheep with black legs the woman was training the dog to herd for show and the dog did so perfectly the four sheep lined up in parade formation as the dog awaited her treat I also passed a sign on the kayak place that read MORNING PRAYER MEETING MARCH 4 AT THE ANGEL OF THE WINDS CASINO which gave me a moment of wonder and a good laugh on account of the casino which is filled with the odors of stale cigarette smoke booze urine and poor people who can't stop gambling seems an odd choice but there are miracles all around if you keep your eyes open

in other news I wore my brand new bra for 11 minutes before I took it off and tossed in the way back of my underwear drawer also the Roomba that Maryrose gave me when she moved has been turning itself on at random times which is a bit unsettling but if the robot decides I need to vacuum who am I to argue except last week I finally caught Jupiter pressing the GO button on the robot and then stalking it as it moved freely about the house I had to stop it and clean its guts and its rollers from which I removed enough long human hair to make two complete wigs I probably should start saving that hair just in case

I am going to make mushroom ravioli today I made the pasta dough and the duxelle and ricotta mixture yesterday I get these big ideas but rarely feel good enough to implement them

I also want to write about the guy at the pot store and Wonder Woman so I will be back my dough has rested too much and I need to move while I still can

love to you Darklings
