Day 3 of ??

Still life at the hospital: a window revealing clouds against a pale blue sky, underneath a pair of feet propped on a vinyl sofa and tables holding a foam cup and breathing exercise apparatus. Behind the table a tote bag from the Onion and a black backpack, suggesting future attempts at remote work.

A bigass hawk just flew out of the fog and landed on my balcony railing. It was looking at my cat through the window, which is funny considering my cat is a feisty chonk who might have made a meal of him.

She looks all sweet and serene but she’s a furry bag of noxious gas and doesn’t care who suffers for it (me).

This took my breath away. It’s from the 2013 novel, The Paris Architect by Charles Belfoure

A highlighted book passage reads,
"And there was supposed to be an arch so goddamned big that the Are de Triomphe could've fit inside its opening.
Good thing the war came, and it didn't get built. Speer and the Fuehrer had a little problem with scale."

Behold my grandkitty. (this is her actual face)

If you zoom in, you can see a little, extended claw on her outstretched paw. Her facial expression indicates that she’s had enough of my bs.

A fluffy multi-colored cat rests on a blanket with her eyes very slightly open and one back leg stretched out. One tiny toenail is visible on the outstretched paw.

I just got an ad featuring this product, and I'm going to need therapy now.

Two light brown dogs wearing skinny plaid pants with attached black boots gaze into the camera with expressions that can only be interpreted as meaning "help us."
