Morning Cat and Willow Tree Wander

Woke later than planned, greeted by the cat who has been all affectionate these days. She had her bowls filled, wet and dry, and I toasted up a bagel for myself. The new litter box seems to suit her, no complaints from either of us. My partner appeared with a chai tea from 7brew, spicy and sweet, and it brightened the morning.

Later we pulled the gang together for a visit to Willow Tree Antiques. The shelves had already turned toward Halloween, full of neat offerings, though many pieces bore the mark of reproduction drop shipper stock. Still, there was a small charm in browsing, and I spotted some Fallout metal signs. Cute enough to notice, but not the sort I would want to hang on my walls.

Current music: acoustic guitar gently circling Current mood: slow to rise, warm with company
