@MOONBEAMS thank you my cat Bunny is very happy here!!!! It is incredibly peaceful and gorgeous… the most perfect landing spot where I am being cared for by an angel 👼
@TATERHOLE stop that's even cuter, they are so matching! also very exciting about the new lease! having your own place is so so healing, I'm excited for you
@MOONBEAMS thank you I would have loved to stay here and split Rent but Benny can’t live here so he’s with a sitter now and I needed to move FAST!! I got my first month of rent for free so that’s a slay
I’ve had this mug for probably 20 years, it’s just one of those items that so well made and thoughtfully designed. The bottom brim keeps it steady next to me on the couch or bed, the handle has a little earlobe thing to rest on your middle finger so the actual hot mug doesn’t touch your skin, its big but not deep enough to make cleaning difficult and the hole on the handle is just small enough to keep a tea tag from falling through.
Left was my favorite mug at my grandparents’ house (yes the very same grandparents as in my Substack post To Grandfather’s House We Go)… my grandmother grew up in a Norwegian-American community in Iowa where all Lutheran services were held in Norwegian and my mentally disturbed grandfather was a multi-generational Texan so it made me smile. Top-right WAS MY FAVORITE MUG until I broke it and I still haven’t replaced it. I have a set of the bottom-right mugs that I use for everything.
My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebody—be it a relative or one of my best friends—was to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too 💌
