Ugh. I hate steroids! Okay, I love it when they fix me, but there is never enough food in the house when I get them.

Luther Allison, Prince, Richard Thompson

Mmmm. Here it was finish off the bottle of Pinot Noir that has been opened for a week Saturday. I’m the only one who drinks alcohol so I have to live with a few glasses of not the best (but still quite drinkable) wine each time I open a bottle.

Waving “Hi” to all my friends who are probably there.

I have several chosen nieblings in the Twin Cities area who would probably love this.

The possibilities are endless!

The west coast is a figment of our imagination.

And he’s an asshole like some of my former east coast colleagues.

Oh, you sweet summer children. You are in for such a ride.

(Shuffling off to my retirement cave grumbling for everyone to get the fuck off my lawn)

Google search has sucked for quite some time. There must be a better way!

7.5 or 8 would be wonderful.

This is so much fun! So much shiny. Pretty, pretty rocks.

Hello and happy Friday!

Thank you! And you are my kind of weirdo.

And I can’t help thinking about how nice this would look with the peridot ring that I JUST got. Someone really needs to buy this to save us both.

A white hand laying on a green, gold and white blanket. A gorgeous rectangular peridot (green stone) ring is on the ring finger.

I got a pretty in the mail from @peculiarityshop.bsky.social !!!!! It’s even prettier in person than it was on the site.

Picture of a birthday cake. Cake is covered in white frosting and decorated with a a happy rainbow, a blotchy sun, and some puffy, white clouds. The words “Happy Birthday” are written in blue in a modified cursive script.

Happy Birthday!

I’m pretty sure that mine will lock up and maybe even overheat and explode from the rapid influx of texts from all of my friends.

Becky was right!

Grateful for my husband who is still taking good care of me. Oddly grateful that I couldn’t get in for PT until the 6th because it gave me time to let the incisions heal and spend time slowly strengthening the ankle and just standing before the real torture starts.

FFS. He has obviously never toured it. Besides the obvious “this is a dumb idea” take, $152m wouldn’t even begin to be enough. It also doesn’t consider the ongoing costs. Then again, he never does.

More. It’s always more.

I’m all for creative variety!

Mine is 28 and misses hugs because he is >2000 miles from us. We try to make up for it when we see him. Very glad that we never stopped hugs.

Never saw it in Wadena or Todd counties. Shudder!
