Tuesday Tirade: Winter and Cereal

Tuesday Tirade: Angry Cat was lonely.
I haven’t posted a tirade for a few weeks. That means: Nothing annoys me (not true) Everything in my life is running smoothly (also not true) People haven’t given me reason to roll my eyes (still not true) I’m too busy (never) I’m uninspired (I’m un-something) My buttons have been unpressed (have I finally realizedContinue reading “Tuesday Tirade: Angry Cat was lonely.”
Thursday Thoughts: A Book About Nothing (contains spoilers)

Spooky Sunday / Inktober Day 31(Risk): My First Horror Story (a risk in itself)

Weekend Wrap-up / Inktober Day 30 (Slither): Somewhat Spooky Saturday
