I feel like this was my reward for getting out of bed this morning

When I walked into my office this morning I froze in the doorway and hissed "A child has been sitting at my desk" so I guess I'm finally becoming the storybook witch I wanted to be when I was 8

Apparently I went a whole day sitting in a fifty-degree building without turning the heat on because I didn’t realize it was actually cold, oops

And some sunrise photos from yesterday morning. I got lucky with the sky and pillar! #photo #photography
I haven't watched Napoleon Dynamite in years but I think about Uncle Rico, jaw clenched and eyes wild, saying "How much you wanna make a bet I can throw a football over them mountains" at least twice a week
but they *do* have a Grease singalong coming up apparently
I feel like I should support it more! but their schedule makes no sense and the movies I want to see are usually only there at an extremely odd time in the middle of the week and then movies that I have no interest in are there for an entire month
The local independent/artsy movie theater has Napoleon Dynamite on its classics lineup and it is causing me to experience a whole range of emotions

Is there any feeling better than when you've spent all day grimly talking yourself out of cancelling a social engagement only to receive a text asking if you'd mind cancelling and rescheduling it for next week?

I just had to give my beloved terrible monster cat ear drops while he screamed and hissed and flailed madly with his claws, there is so much adrenaline hammering through my system right now that I could probably lift a car
One of the things I love about spring is seeing sunlight shining through delicate new leaves
