I step away from the table for a moment, and I come back to this little maniac shredding napkins.
She knows she isnt allowed up there, but I guess the temptation was just too great. She is sweetly sleeping in the sun room now. I think the cooler weather really has her kicked up into full crazy pants.
Doodle origin – was thinking about freakies cereal today, made me want fruity pebbles. Just drew a quickie while waiting to get ready for a little duck date with Max to Capriottis to try the vegetarian “cheesesteak” and “chicken cheesesteak” sammiches for dinner.
Day 20,065
Today was much the same as yesterday, until 5pm rolled by, when I started experimenting with vectors so I can put my doodles on 3d printed items.
This selfie doodle scales up and down really well, without any noticeable loss of detail. Eventually, I will import it to a 3d model on bambu’s sign maker, and then see if I can print an item out in 8 colors with this design on top. I’ll likely start with 2 colors and see how i can scale it up. If i get it to work simply, i will try to implement it more creatively on 3d items, rather than just a flat surface.

Somehow, I’ve had the song from the ancient Sesame Street cartoon “That’s About the Size” by animator Bud Luckey (the same guy who designed Woody from Toy Story, and a lot of wonderful Pixar stuff)
Today whizzed by, mainly because I slept late due to the old spine and leg hubbub. It was brisk and rainy, but no snow like we had expected.
I made a quick trip to the recycling center to get rid of a ton of cardboard left over from the holidays and spent much of the day sort of just puttering around picking up, walking around the house chasing the cat.
Evening came quickly, and despite our having a lot of excellent lasagna soup left, we opted for a bit of an appetizer dinner of pretzel bites and some caramel popcorn over a few hours of Ugly Betty reruns.
Pearl is especially rowdy this evening, enjoying the devil out of her llama themed tower.
Day 20.062
Mostly relaxing today, tonight I am doodling on the tablet while we watch reruns of The Odd Couple and digest tasty lasagna soup and confetti cake made by my better half.

All this talk about steamboat Willie and Pete being a cat, reminded me rhat there is another famous cartoon in public domain, too, at least the old films!
I quickly drew him into one of my other unfinished scribbles, so now he is enjoying a little river walk down on the Roanoke Greenway!
Our local electronics store had me clear a window from 7am – 7pm today for the delivery of a tv for the red room. About seven hours into that window, they contacted us to say that it isnt coming until the twelfth, seven days from now. I would think that all of those 7s was meaningful if I believed in numerology. I do not, so we are just inconvenienced in an interesting way. I don’t even really mind because I was going to be here all day doing chores anyhow, and the TV probably wouldn’t be mounted until after that.
The first few inches of snow may come tomorrow, and I am looking forward to staying in again and just drinking cocoa, sipping soup, and snuggling close to my favorites (both the Mrs and the Kitty) , since I run warm, and they love that in wintertime.
The sky has been overcast, both white and gray at different times, and weather dropped to the 20s F last night. It got up to the 40s today, but I imagine it will drop again to make a sloppy mix of ice/snow/protoslush tomorrow.
@maximillian_deersteak started some lovely lasagna soup in the crock pot, and it smells awesome right now.
A doodle I drew of myself photographing a big ol’ lizard (in a java version of ms paint had on my website back in the day), and the photo I took with my palmtop Sony clie.
Snow is said to be coming, but today was quite clear, sunny and breezy. Tonight, the temperature is dropping, so I am glad I got most of the outside of the house chores covered today. (Sent back some stuff to Amazon, got groceries, and picked up some useful meds.) That said, oddes are good that it won’t count as a big snow day, maybe a couple of inches, if we get any at all.
Inlaws went back to the Chesapeake bay this morning, so it’s just the big three at home now.
Amy is back in parts more Long Islandish, and the inlaws came over for a day of decoration teardown, tech support, cook out quesadillas, and an episode of Shetland.
Mothman FIL chopped up our Tannenbaum for pickup and future mulching by the city, and it wasn’t as traumatic as I was guessing that it might be. (We still have a few fake and lit trees in the hall). All the 3d printed ornaments are back in storage, and the mantle is once again bare, save for TV equipment.
Resting now, doodled while updating MILs laptop for tax season, her fitbit, and played a trifle with the Brynelords that arrived today. Sisto and Harold are back nearby, and I may be taking them out for walkies sometime this week (before possibly snowy Saturday, anyhow) I want to get back up to the hiking stamina I had before my bout with cellulitis.
We got this. This’ll be our year. There will be bumps and dips, but if we keep our heads and hears about us, we can do it. Happy 2024.
