This is working up so nicely. I still havent devided in the border, but I have a few more skeins of the body before that. I'm thinking about doing a scalloped crochet border, maybe in a darker teal.

An in progress knit blanket is laid out on the legs of a recliner. There are panels of smaller knit rows in a variagated yarn with the colors white, yellow, teal, purply grey, and red, with two larger paneled rows of solid teal, and solid red. A circular needle is visible toward the top.

Nougat is very interested in something outside.

A linx point siamese sits on a grey bench, leaning on a partially open window. His oaws are gripping the window ledge and his head is pushed into the area between the open window and the window screen, peering at somerhing outside intently.

It's Monday and Cookie and I have feelings about that.

A long haired grey/brown tabby sits on top of a computer tower. Plastic housing is visible under the cat that appears to be allowing airflow to continue, despite a cat sitting on the tower. The cat stares at the camera with half lidded eyes.

I should make a photo book of Nougat sleeping

A linx point siamese lays sprawled on his back on top of a fabric covered bench on front of a window.

Dr. Kalen Zeiger (they/he)@kalenzeiger· Jul 12

Nougat continues to wonder why his doggy friend isn't sleeping with him.

A linx point siamese lays on the corner of a very lang and very empty dog bed.

Dr. Kalen Zeiger (they/he)@kalenzeiger· Jul 6

I don't know what was going on here, but I have my suspicions. Charlie looks annoyed, and Nougat looks too innocent.

A lynx point siamese sits on top of a dining table. A grey brown short hair tabby sits directly below the siamese on a dining chair. The tabby has sei airplane ears that are both locked back, like she's listening for the cat above and behind her. The siamese looks straight ahead and seems suspiciously innocent.

We decided to spend the afternoon at the Waterpark after Trevor got off at 12:30PM today. I underestimated how busy a holiday on a Saturday would be (strict one time around the lazy river being enforced), but still nice to just hang out. I hope everyone's having a gay Saturday 🌈😘

Kalen sits in a lounger using a towel for a pillow, smiling at the camera with sunglasses on.

Cookie and I are hanging out while I am playing with memory foam (restructuring some chair cushions) and listening to fireworks. Only one more night. How's everyone's Friday going?

Kalen sites on a grey couch looking at the camera, over their shoulder a grey brown long haired tabby layson the back of the couch also looking at the camera.

Cookie found a new place to be queen of the house from this #Caturday

Cookie found the perfect Cookie sized sot on the bed to sleep.

A long haired brown grey tabby sleepson a bed in a throw pillow sized spot. The missing throw pillow is seen sitting on a standard size pillow to the right of her.

Blue is unhappy with Nougat's choice of nap location. I didn't see it, but there's every chance Blue was sleeping in the bed when Nougat crawled in 😅

A linx point siamese sleeps alone stretched out on a large dog bed. Nearby, an obviously unhappy blue eyed husky stare at the camera with ears pricked straight up.

Almost forgot to post, still at Loveland Pride for another hour!

Kalen smiles at the camera, sitting in a Pride tent at Loveland Pride, wearing a rainbow metallic shirt.

Dr. Kalen Zeiger (they/he)@kalenzeiger· Jun 16

My new look just dropped for the Loveland Pride this weekend 🌈🌂 It has rained at some point every single Pride I've gone to in Colorado so far, so gonna be prepared and hands free. The shirt popped up while looking for rainbow umbrella hats, and I couldn't resist.

Kalen smiles at the camera while wearing a reflective rainbow button shirt and a rainbow umbrella hat.

Found this in a sticker pack I just opened for our Boulder Pride table/tent.

A rainbow fan with a sticker sitting on it that says Pride, removes stubborn orange stains.

Dr. Kalen Zeiger (they/he)@kalenzeiger· Jun 13

If you are in the Denver Metro, stop by Boulder Pride and say hi!

Kalen smiles at Boulder Pride with multiple tents in the background.

I made it back ftom Seattle to Denver safe and sound on Sunday. Immediately followed up by a kiddo's 19th birthday on Monday, and a half aborted birthday trip to Elitch Gardens when a tornado watch and storms came through.

Kalen smiles at the camera from next to an airplane window.

Dr. Kalen Zeiger (they/he)@kalenzeiger· Jun 2

I'm in Seattle for the week for work, and Trevor sent me a picture of Nougat thoroughly enjoying life as a house cat. He's very much taken to having more space to have zooming in.

A linx point siamese sleeps, sprawled on his back on a grey arm chair.

Happy June 1st and start of Pride Month 🌈🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵🤎🖤

Nougat appreciates the seat we put just for him under the front window 😉

A blue linx point siamese sits on a grey fabric bench seat under a window. His butt is on the seat, and his front paws are on the windowsill like he's been looking out the window. His head is turned to look at the canema.

Cookie is hanging out in the bethroom in style (on a plush like robe).

Not sure which weekend we're going yet, but we've been working on trinkets when not focused on actual work or moving.

4 tickets for Colorado Renaissance Festival.

Dr. Kalen Zeiger (they/he)@kalenzeiger· May 22

High School Graduation day for one of my kiddos. Woohoo!

A large mylar balloon in the shape of a grad with a graduation hat on says incredible, fantastic, you did it, way to go, great job and sits on a table. A graduation cake sits on a counter nearby.

We're out at Douglas County Pride in the Denver Metro today, if anyone is in the area come say hi!

One of the very first things I moved into my new house and new home office. Even before I know where furniture will be to hang it up. Marsha P. Johnson is a trans hero.

A collage poster where Marsha P. Johnson is featured with each corner of her face being from a different iconic photo of her. The piece is framed by dozens of smaller photos and newspaper articles featuring the trans hero in different eras of her life and activism.

Blue apparently prefers oversized armchairs to sofas.

A husky dog sits in an oversized brown paisley armchair and looks at the camera.

Curious what she does the first time we actually store something there.

A long haired grey brown tabby cat sits in a cubby in a kitchen.

Dr. Kalen Zeiger (they/he)@kalenzeiger· May 7

Not sure what they are looking at, but must be something going on.

A husky stabds looking out one side of a window and a long haired grey/brown tabby stands on her hind legs looking out the other side of the same window. The floor is unfinished wood, with some tools around suggesting the flooring is mid process.

I know we need the precipitation here in Colorado, but it's May ❄️🥶

That bedroom is done, working on the front room now. Trevor is at work today, so I'm having our teens (18yrs and 15yrs) tag team (supervised) when I need a break. Mr. 15yrs is maybe too excited about using power tools 😆 But they'll know how to put in wood floors if they ever need to. Skills.
