Paladin approves of access to the couch in my office (and the fuzzy blanket I put on it for a cat nest). He’s never experienced me in this office; he was born a year after I moved downstairs. 🐈

Yesterday I moved back into my upstairs office, after being downstairs since October 2016. As a bonus, I now have another screen (as if I didn’t have plenty). Some leftover junk to tidy away still. Jenn has now moved to the downstairs desk (3rd pic, when empty). 💻🖥🖥

After Rory lost a leg to osteosarcoma in 2015, and couldn’t navigate the stairs anymore, I moved from my upstairs office to a “temporary” desk in the parlor (2nd pic). Now that Jenn also works from home, I’m thinking about moving back up there; needs a bit of a clean out.

A bunch of pictures from a “Bridge Stride” event that Jenn participated in (and I took pictures of) in 2005, where people got to walk and ride over a couple of Portland’s bridges. #ThrowbackThursday

The Micro.blog challenge word for day 19 is “possible”. With everyone raving about Apple’s new M1 Macs, I can feel my resistance to buying one breaking down… it’s possible I’ll end up getting one after all… for my work, yeah. 💻 #mbnov

The first photo I took of the hummingbirds this morning was accidentally a 1-second video… perfect for a quick GIF, so why not. Dance birds, dance! 🐦
