Quote this post with an album you'd rate a perfect 10/10

"Diva" was Annie Lennox's solo debut album, released in 1992

I post like I text: in nightmarish paragraphs of thought.

Respect to IKEA's social media team. Well played.

There are still some threads that need trimming, but I'm happy that my wall quilt is now done.

This morning's tomato harvest was a bit more than expected.

The quilt is done, spread it out to check for threads I missed and to get photos, both cats are now assisting by shedding all over it. I guess nothing is done without the final layer of cat hair.

KB is helping. It's going about as expected.

Pierre is the only cat I've met who consistently uses arm rests.

A fat grey ticked tabby sits in an armchair, front paws resting on the arm rest.

I come bearing a Pierre photo. He semi-regularly helps himself to my pillows, including wrapping himself around my head while I'm trying to sleep.

A fat grey tabby is sprawled out on top of a couple of pillows on a bed, making it abundantly clear that he is not giving up the pillow space to the human who actually is the owner of said pillows

The annual pollen apocalypse is heeeeeeere. Even if you don't have allergies, the sheer amount of crap in the air will irritate your eyes, nose, and lungs. May we not have a repeat of last year's record breaking misery.

Atlanta subreddit post: "Why does the air look greenish yellow? First day here from out of town. Surely that's not pollen? Is it that bad?"

Redneck problems call for redneck solutions. Atlanta's about to go into our infamously nightmarish pollen season, so it seemed like a great time to build a Corsi–Rosenthal box and hope that it'll cut back on pollen counts in the house.

Here's my afternoon. I just wanted to try to get a sense of how many more blocks I need to make/some idea of the layout. Of course that immediately meant that Pierre had to make himself comfortable right in the middle of things.

Same applies to our ornament situation.

It got worse: he's now snoring.

The orange tabby has moved to sleep in a fetal position on the afghan, with a paw thrown over the end of his nose.

I have approximately four inches left on the last row. I am not allowed to finish, obviously.

An orange tabby cat with one paw tucked under him looks at the person taking his photo with a challenging look, as he makes himself very comfortable on a red, white, and green Granny Square style afghan.

I sort of mentally divide the year up based on what kind of sheets are on the bed. Part of me looks forward to the flannel sheets. Today was the day for swapping them out & it's fairly obvious the cats are also fans of the sheet change.

This is what life is like having a cat with a full-blown carb obsession. Those rolls were in the pantry, on a shelf at eye level (I'm nearly six feet tall). I'm not sure how he got them down, but this is where I found them this morning, covered in chew marks, bag ripped open.

A ripped open plastic bag and two sandwich rolls on the floor. There are multiple bite marks in both pieces of bread and crumbs everywhere.

One of my air plants produced twin pups. Here I am, going "awwwwwww, look at the little cute plants". I'm going to have to figure out a new place for my air plants, I'm running out of room. I have to find a spot where the orange cat can't get to them, he likes to steal them.

A wide-eyed grey ticked tabby lounges in a bowl shaped cardboard scratcher, looking slightly crazed while doing so.

Oh hey, cat. You don't like being annoyed when you're trying to nap? Fancy that. I don't like being annoyed in the middle of the night. Maybe we can work out something here, what do you think?

A ticked off looking fat grey ticked tabby continues to try to nap, while his human keeps taking his photo. This may be revenge for multiple nights in a row that said ticked tabby has been loud and obnoxious in the hopes of being fed.

An unfortunately overweight grey ticked tabby attempting to nap, curled up on his side, showing annoyance at the human who keeps insisting on taking his photo instead of just letting him sleep. This may be revenge for the past few nights of said tabby bothering the human in the middle of the damned night.
