New helix hat. Not sure if I'm feeling it yet.

Christmas Cats. They are currently mad at me because I kicked them out of the kitchen for attempting to jump on the stove burners while I'm cooking.

Indy loves belly time.

The highlight of my day was singing along loudly to The Wiz soundtrack while toasting coconut.

Today Oscar is thankful for Dan saving her from a life on the streets and also for lots of cardboard and paper to summarily destroy. Indy is thankful for forehead kisses, wet food, and extended belly rub sessions.

And I am thankful that we are sharing our home with these two chaos agents. It didn't seem like last year we could get our way to a home full of love again when we lost Trip and Bowie in such a short time, but we got our way there. Love to all of you.

It's been a year. And I still miss you so much sometimes that I can't breathe. You were the most wonderful beautiful boy, and you were so so loved. Even your vet, Dr. Adi, said to me, "Bowie was special. There will never be another Bowie." I put you on my nightstand so that we still get to sleep next to each other every night. I see you in my dreams, and I hope you never leave.

There will never be another Bowie.

Completely by accident, I scheduled my sophomore Nursing Foundations class to talk about wounds on Halloween. Prof. Sally knows a thing or two about stitching them up, luckily.

Reblog if your blog is boopable-safe so you can get all the (probably new) achievements. I don’t care about notes I just want boops

I feel today's kitchen adventures have fully cemented me into my Bean Queen title. Red bean and ham soup from Mark Bittman, crispy roasted chickpeas, and Alton's Brown's Once and Future Beans.

I have absolutely no idea why, but the lovely people at the Starbucks on my way to work are always the nicest people in the world to me. They know my name and my car and are just so wonderful to me every morning, and I feel like I never deserve their glorious kindness.

Particularly today, when I was chatting with Maddie, who was taking orders in the drive-thru, I complimented her Taylor Swift friendship bracelets and found out that she was getting to go to the show tonight. I told her how much fun we had at the Reputation show and told her that I was excited for her.

Then, I drove around and was stopped while getting my drink because she ran inside and passed this bracelet through to the pick-up window, making sure that I didn't leave before I got it. How freaking adorable.

I know that there are a lot of jobs where people have to take on their "customer service" persona and fake niceness all day. However, this crew just really made my day and consistently makes me feel good every morning. It feels genuine, and it completely disarms me every time, and it makes me feel like a better person than I probably am. They are about to get so much Halloween candy next week.

There is a running joke in my family that I cannot make red beans because of one incident where I attempted a slow cooker red bean recipe at the suggestion of my father, which was a disaster.

I am very proud of myself that through repetition over the past 2 years, I make kickass red beans and rice from scratch, and everyone can go suck eggs.

Most days, rather than doing what I should be doing, I would much rather be knitting improbable shapes.
