How is it that these photos were taken a moment apart but have such different vibes. Like, no murder then murder. #cats

Today's PSA: To poop is to be human. PLEASE talk any issues over with your doctor, even if you never speak of it to anyone else. Otherwise- wait for it- shit gets real. 💩

OK back to your regularly scheduled Wednesday, thank you for your time

Smol cat and me, waiting for our dad to come home from hospital.

lady: Please stop singing Backstreet Boys fella: Tell me why

Me: Aw, what a cute ending!

Audiobook: nope there are 2 hours left

💥💀😵‍💫

😂 Yeah the author of this romance novel is straight - the wise-cracking leading lady just said "I'm not peggable" and no one made a single joke

But on the other hand, my mother has requested that she and I go visit him this afternoon, then get early supper, then go to the library. As one does.

My father is in the hospital and I have very little knowledge about what is actually going on. He is being so very Silent Generation that he sent Mom home, and she's only answering my questions with 'You'll have to ask him.'

I don't know why I thought it would go differently this time.

Ooo la!! 😍

They have the news on in the ER waiting room and like. Regardless of what year it is, that just seems mean.

Golden Girls. I hereby propose all waiting rooms play Golden Girls only.

My parents are in their 80s, which comes with certain unpleasant medical things. My mom keeps being surprised that I want to help them out, which breaks my heart.

They wiped our butts, you know? The absolute least I can do is drive them to urgent care.

A silver superman pendant on a box of thread spools

Ope, found it. I was almost right. @batmasterson.batfu.ink

I'm like, 80% sure I still have a superman ring I acquired from you. Probably through theft.

Comic. [Person and person with white hat facing two boxes stacked with $80 price tag and sale tag on each box.] PERSON 1: They want $80 for this? I could make one myself for $10 in parts, an hour of work, a trip to the hardware store, another $30 in parts, another few hours of work, two more trips to the store for $20 more in parts, another hour of work to redo the first hour of work because I messed up, and $80 to buy this when the one I made breaks.

Chuck Tingle has come up twice at knitting circle recently and I sense it will happen again because this is golden

Seated people, both smiling, both in medieval garb, one a 14th century lady in a veil and one a dude in Norse.

Oh my god what a picture.

I *choose* to hold onto this moment, despite what we know now and what has happened since, because there are good moments in every thing.

Finished the (very un-fun) pacing revision on bk1 last night and can I just say

my Payoff Porn skills are FIRE
hot damn

Okay but where does one find an Australian to read through your manuscript and correct all your terrible attempts at slang?

Asking for a me.

Timeline cleanse

All I want out of life is queer rom-coms. That's literally it.

OMG why don't I ever remember to have a tissue onhand when I watch these

This week's new pain: my left index finger, between hand and first knuckle. 100% mobility, affects my functioning not at all, just random shocks of pain. Like being gently and specifically smote.

NIN first thing, so your Monday is probably going better than mine

was once New Amsterdam.

I got a $35 DVD player as a huge splurge and am going through my library alphabetically (obviously). Amahl and the Night Visitors? Cried. Big Fish? Cried. Bones S1? Cried. (God damn that Christmas episode.)

Me thinks this is more about needing to cry than anything else. So. Worth the $35.

That. Part.

A McDonald’s where the sign has been reduced to McDo.

There is no McTry.
