It's daffodil season in the PNW!

I'm delighted to have been addicted to "The Residence" on Netflix. Very reminiscent of "Clue" with homage to other great "who dunnit" shows. The best and most interesting part? Uzo Aduba (who played Crazy Eyes in "Orange is the New Black" really stuns as the genius detective.

Me playing KC:D2: Find Lord Capon?! I have a higher priority!

Life and light returning today in small glimpses.

Omg brr. Freyja is enjoying the snow much more than myself when she takes her time to potty at night. I won't begrudge her wonder, but damnit this CA girl is cold!

Spring's frozen cloak brings me hope and joy today. I've never had my own home before where I could pre-plant spring bulbs and enjoy them bursting forth. Daffodils, tulips, lily of the valley, and hellebore are sprouting through the snow.

Wow, this really sucks. Dark Horse was one of the last remaining Direct Market creator-owned publishers that treated you right and didn't grab your rights.

Lookin' fly in her b!tch britches (surgisuit) post-op.

Freyja and I are out of surgery and home! She got spayed. I had my gallbladder removed, twice. I had such an odd case for gallbladder removal that for pt2, this super famous surgeon flew in from Issaquah.

The dogs were good today! I mean, mostly. It's been very chilly but my GSD isn't bothered by the cold. I should take her "up to the snow" soon so I can introduce her to it. The joy of "first experiences" is still motivating for me. #dogsky

This semester I have students analyze games through the "Narrative Lens". The 3rd game I have them experience is "Inscryption". Today, a student arrived with a heartwarming gift for me, a 3D printed copy of Leshy's bell from the game table. It rings! I did ask to ensure no actual teeth were used.
