My Dad is home from the hospital. We walked in the door, my sis and BIL said hi and goodbye and then LEFT. Oh. Ok then.

They’re everywhere.

The thing I like least about being around my sister is that she has ZERO interest in my life. She hasn’t even asked how my husband is.

My sister has the key clicks on her phone turned on. MA’AM. THIS IS A SOCIETY.

But #thedreadpuppyroberts seems to enjoy it.

It’s snowy here.

Who has 2 thumbs and drove to MI last night? This gal. Honestly, kinda pissed about it. (My dad had surgery last week. It went well he developed a minor post op complication that is keeping him in the hospital longer and my sis and BIL have to leave tomorrow. So I got to make the cannonball run)

I realize I belong on the front a yacht wearing a speedo and drinking champagne and complaining about the quality of the caviar. But here I am in Penguin Pajamas drinking coffee and bitching about the quality of this pop tart.

FIFA just gave me an EGOT. #humbled #grateful

I believe it.

I hate this goddamn timeline.

Once again we have all made it to Friday! Here's a calendula to celebrate. 🌱

Yesterday was a rough day. Today is shaping up to also be difficult. Westley has been cueing in to my increasing anxiety and driving me INSANE to be in the wrap. He’s finally where he wants to be.

Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, prolific actor known for his roles in “Mortal Kombat,” “Last Emperor” and “Man In The High Castle,” has died at 75

🤣🤣🤣

This is so much bullshit. Come talk to my neurodivergent child with a dead father. Because BOTH of those things were objects of ridicule and bullying for his classmates.

Uh. Huh.

This composition had eluded me for nearly a decade, but yesterday I was finally able to capture it. A train rolled through just as the Duquesne Incline was crossing over the tracks in #Pittsburgh, creating a picture perfect winter scene. It was worth the hours and hours I've waited over the years.

It is 9:38 am. I have already eaten breakfast. I am hungry and want lunch. M I’m an adult who works at home and does what she wants. I’m gonna go get lunch food and eat at my desk. So there.

This one is for @velocibadgergirl.bsky.social

Would you like some soothing lofi Christmas beats? Lofi Girl has you covered. (It’s what I have playing while I work this morning) www.youtube.com/live/h_a3tqy...

Tension headache or weather headache?

Anemones for your Monday.

Dec 1. Time to remove the fall themed phone wallpapers and start up Xmas.

Who needs a puppy?

I set aside today, out of my four day weekend, to tackle chores I’ve been avoiding. One of which is cleaning my bedroom. I still hate it as much as I did when I was a kid. I am such a fucking slob.

Buying gifts for your son’s girlfriend is HARD!

Pie for breakfast? Pie for breakfast.

Heeeeeeere we are! Born to be Kings! We’re the Princes of the universe!

Holy shit, @christhebarman.bsky.social and I make a DAMN FINE thanksgiving meal n

It snowing

Happy Thanksgiving, pocket friends!

Don’t forget to turn off your alarms.

When the pumpkin pies are almost as dark as the chocolate pie, you know they’re gonna be goooooood.

I posted that and he arrived home. Chocolate cream is finished and cooling (fresh made whipped cream goes on tomorrow). Popped the decorations on the pumpkin pies and they’re finishing up. I still need a shower.

I have two pumpkin pies in the oven and the shell is baked for the chocolate cream. I just need Liam to get home with the MILK so I can finish that one. I need a shower.

2319!!! WE HAVE A 2319!!!

In the ladies room at my kiddo’s therapist office:

Uhhhhh ❄️🧊❄️

Dissatisfied customer is about to fuck around and find out.

My entire FB feed is Wicked related and I JUST. DON’T. CARE.

In honor of his birthday, W has had a nail trim, a fur trim, mats (just a few!) removed, and a bath. Insane Puppy Mode has been activated.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Judge dismisses cases against James Comey and Letitia James after finding that prosecutor was illegally appointed.

BTW, this sent me down the rabbit hole of listening to Disney soundtracks (Aladdin, Little Mermaid, Tangled) which I belted out in my office which in turn led to Little Shop of Horrors Soundtrack and belting that, too. This has been ADHD Music With Mattie.

Ok GenX/Millenials - I turned on Disney’s animated Aladdin over the weekend for a blast of nostalgia while I was painting. Did you know they changed the lyrics of the first song?!? The original was “where the cut off your ear/if they don’t like your face/it’s barbaric but hey, it’s home!”

Good morning and Happy 1st Birthday to Westley, #thedreadpuppyroberts

Got my free Giant Eagle turkey! Into the fridge for the long defrost!
