Kitten central (AKA Remi’s room/the guest room) is set up. About ten minutes later Fig darted out of there with that mouse in her mouth and took it into my office. She has NEVER been interested in those tiny mice (Fable loves them) but apparently she likes that one.

Uhhhh change of plans, going to get kittens tomorrow. As long as they’re still available (they were as of 15 minutes before they closed today), it’ll probably be Pandi and the void from pic 2. Will see what others they have just in case, but those are the ones I have my eye on now.

I made the mistake of looking to see if any new kittens have been added to the shelter’s website and there HAVE and one of them is very cute and I have my fingers crossed she is still available on Sunday because OMG THAT *FACE*

Screenshot of adoptapet.com showing a kitten named Pandi available from Metro East Humane Society in Edwardsville, IL. She is mostly white with a small black patch above one eye and a pink nose with a black splotch at the tip. She looks very inquisitive and ADORABLE.

Curiosity got the better of me and I had to try it. I have regrets. 0/100 do not recommend.

Saved my bucket from when I got the lemonade a couple weeks ago at the FoodeeFest and made my own. Juice and pulp from two lemons, some diced strawberries, and just a tiiiiny bit of sugar (maybe half a tablespoon?) just to take the edge off. Perfectly sour. Yum!

Pixel was trazadone’d a few hours ago, got her happy hoodie on about half an hour ago and has gone sploot. Kitties are watching a nature YouTube video, Fig casually from my lap and Fable intensely from Pixel’s bed. They’re as ready as they’re gonna be for the inevitable neighborhood firworks.

I got some kolaches from American Kolache today and… um… this raspberry cream cheese one is quite… vulgar.

Several kolaches (round filled pastries) in a box. One of them looks disturbingly like a menstruating vagina with labia because of the cream cheese and raspberry filling erupting out of the oblong hole in the center.

The moment I put it on her, she immediately leaned against the cabinets like she no longer had any idea how to stay upright, kind of like a cat wearing a leash for the first time.

Same dog as the previous post, leaning and resting her head against kitchen cabinetry and looking absolutely pathetic.

I bought Pixel a happy hoodie to see if it will help with her anxiety during storms/fireworks. Tried it on her today. I don’t think she’s pleased. Peep the scorching side-eye at the end of the video.

I got these three sodas when I went to the Asian market last Friday and I was excited to try them but I am disappointed to report they all taste pretty much exactly the same: just overwhelming fake-sugar sweetness. Very little fruit flavor.

I’m good for now. (Always good to see another beverage fiend.)

Two shelves of a microwave cart. On the top shelf are zero sugar sodas (Canada Dry strawberry fruit splash, Mug root beer. Fresca, Starry, Orange Fanta, Sprite Chill mango citrus, and A&W cream soda); on the bottom shelf are sparkling waters (Bubly strawberry sunset, Waterloo guava berry, Waterloo summer berry, Waterloo tropical fruit, Waterloo lemon ice, La roux blackberry cucumber, Waterloo melon medley, and La Croix guava São Paulo. Two unopened boxes (Bubly coconut pineapple and Polar Seltzee blackberry mango) are stacked next to the cart.

Too. Many. Storms!

Screenshot of Facebook post by KMOV meteorologist Steve Templeton. His text reads “Illinois has had the most tornadoes of any state this year by far. In fact, with 196 tornadoes so far... Illinois has more than double the #2 state on the list (Mississippi). Missouri is at number 3 with 76 tornadoes. The Midwest and especially Illinois has been the unfortunate hotbed of tornado activity this year.”

Attached to his post is a map with 10 states labeled with the number of tornadoes they’ve had this year. In numerical order: Illinois 196, Mississippi 83, Missouri 76, Indiana 70, Iowa 64, Kansas 62, Texas 51, Oklahoma 49, Wisconsin 45, Alabama 39.

Supper: cheese-crusted chicken quesadilla with copycat QDOBA sweet/spicy Cholula sauce and citrus lime vinaigrette.

Food truck/vendor fest while I’m in Springfield = al pastor tacos and a half-sweet, extra lemon (because I like my lemonade SOUR, not sweet) mango lemonade for lunch. Yum. Two problems with food trucks: 1) $$$ 2) my options were about half of the offerings bc AI menu = not getting my business.

Cat sleep yoga.

Orange cat sleeping on my lap with one paw stretched to the top of the arm of my chair and her head pushed against the side of the chair arm. She looks very silly.

Passed this pretty guy on the way home from mom’s house and had to stop.

Also decided to finally check out The Lumpia House because no one ever wants to go with me. Got the loaded lumpia and the chicken pastil fusion subwich (no cilantro). Both very yum.

As described by the menu: “Lumpia topped with sweet chili, Japanese mayo, sour cream, cheese sauce, garlic bits, scallions, and pork chicharon”

Sandwich as described by the menu: “A comforting, flavor-packed sub featuring tender chicken pastil, balanced with creamy mayo chicken-oil aioli and fresh accompaniments.
Finished with crisp pickled carrots and daikon radish for contrast, with the option to add sliced boiled egg for extra richness and bite. Packed in an 8" sub bun.”

Was bored today so decided to go check out the Illinois State Museum in Springfield. Free admission and they’ve got a promo going on now that you get a voucher for a free weekday admission to the state fair in August. Not a bad way to spend an hour.

The faux “entrance” to the Hall of Illinois Dinosaurs, which is closed due to lack of specimens. Sign nearby reads
"Just because we haven't found dinosaur fossils in Illinois doesn't mean they won't ever be found. We have a few deposits in western and southern Illinois that were formed during the time when dinosaurs walked the Earth. We also have fossil leaves from some of the plants they may have eaten. So, we may eventually find a dinosaur
fossil."

Both Fable and the squirrel are talking but I’m pretty sure neither can actually see the other.

Please enjoy this very silly pic of my mom’s cat, Purrl, enjoying an ice cream snack. (She only got a few licks.)

Local bar and grill called Lumpy’s posted this AI slop poster today. Zoom in on the building sign.

We don't usually see each other's headers. Here's mine. Quote-skeet with yours (if you feel like it)

Found an expandable tiered stacker that works perfectly. I am not allowed to buy any more spices. (I say that after buying like four more since the last picture was taken, but in my defense they were cheap and sounded yummy.)

The same shelving as pictured in the quoted post, now with the bottom shelf full of spices four tiers deep. Fitting any more would involve spice bottle Tetris.)

The bounty (15 pints of black raspberries - NOT blackberries) that was the entire reason for our trip down here has been acquired. I’m already stained because I couldn’t resist eating a few that were still warm from being on the vine, which has always been my favorite way to eat them.

Mom and I tried a new-to-us restaurant (Ray’s Soul Food & Turkey Legs in O’Fallon) today and their sign is quite accurate. SO GOOD. We’ll definitely be coming back here.

My lunch: two giant fried catfish filets, super cheesy macaroni and cheese, barbecue baked beans, another sweet potato corn bread muffin, raw onions, and pickle chips.

I have rearranged these three shelves (which I expanded from two by moving some other stuff around) at least half a dozen times and I’m still not loving it. None of the organizing shelves I have in the house are quite the right height for what I want. (1/2)

Two cabinet doors opened to show four sections of shelving, three of which are full of spice jars. The fourth has boxes of baggies, toothpicks, etc.

Misty@istytehcrawk· Jun 4

No one can ever accuse me of not seasoning my food. Today’s project is reorganizing my spice cabinet because it had turned into chaos. First step was getting them all out. The actual organizing will have to wait until after work.

Approximately 60 spice jars of varying sizes stacked up on a countertop. None are duplicates.

@clairewillett.bsky.social Dunno if this is something you’re interested in having/saving/repurposing/whatevs, but someone’s FB share of one of your old Twitter threads about COINTELPRO came up in my FB memories today. www.facebook.com/share/1G9uKk...
