Cream-colored sweatshirt laid flat on a reddish chair, featuring a cute retro-style graphic of a blue-eyed Siamese cat sitting beside a pie, a mixing bowl, eggs, and sparkly stars. Pink text at the top reads “KITTY BISCUITS CLUB,” and blue text at the bottom says, “WE KNEAD BISCUITS AND RAISE SPIRITS.”

A white vegetable drawer in the refrigerator. The name is scratched out and say, "Vegetable Hospice" instead of its normal label.

We all know deep down that the spring mix we promise to eat is going to end up in the vegetable hospice. Just leave it be at the store. Save it from a rotten death.

Okay…hear me out: Stranger Things but it’s present day, and every time Vecna tries to invade someone’s mind they’re like, “Oh, finally! No one wants to talk to me about my life. Someone to trauma dump on.” And they proceed to sit and talk Vecna to death. The end.

OP with long dark hair and a warm expression poses for a selfie while holding a fluffy Siamese cat with light fur and dark ears. The cat, named Teddy, looks slightly grumpy, adding humor and contrast to the affectionate moment.

Trying to get a selfie moment with Teddy, and he is NOT having it. 🤣

Doctors really act like the bloodwork they order for patients comes directly out of their pocket. 🙃

One day out at Thanksgiving cost me two days of recovering and a week of illness. Don't take for granted the time someone who is immunocompromised spends with you.
