Sleep deprivation is starting to kick in. Millie discovered the dishwasher creates a warm spot on the counter.

Whoa! A glass, amber-colored, chicken-shaped sugar bowl. I haven't seen one of those in ages. That's awesome.

The kitten was back on the blanket today, after whining about it! And today I had no appointments so I got to be near the baby for several hours!

Seems she's a cat that doesn't mind a little movement so luckily I could move my legs a bit when they were getting stiff.

The sound of a squirrel outside was what broke the cuddles. Not even my sneezing scared her away!

Can you give a product review of your coffee maker? ☕

I love my Moccamaster! It does one thing and that is making good coffee.
