It's back up. #stonewall. #nyc

Fed park service locked the gate of Stonewall Park. NYPD Community Police opened it with a bolt cutters that someone happened to have.

Today's treat. Bent to 127⁰ at PT! #newknee

They took the Rainbow Flag out of Stonewall Park! Executive order by Scumbag in Chief. Prick.

Some NYC Irish bars are the real deal.

It's 22⁰F (-5⁰C) and the boiler in the building has gone on the blink so we've had no heating nor hot water since yesterday morning. But #eloise knows how to keep herself warm.

I've been working on this puzzle since shortly after my #NewKnee surgery. I do it while practicing bending my leg. It was one of the most difficult puzzles I've done, resorting to grouping the pieces by shape and then trial and error for the sea and the sky. Even […] [Original post on mastodon.ie]

That was the best Halftime show in years. #badbunny sure knows how to make a point and you couldn't not dance. #superbowl

Aw #puppybowl is sponsoring puppies from Best Friends this year. That's where we got #eloise We are Team Ruff

I guess #eloise resents my exercise equipment.

If they do rename Penn Station after Il Douche, the signs are going to get defaced every single day. #nyc

Seeing as it's sunny and marginally above freezing, I took #eloise the ten blocks to the dog park and back. She was very good about staying on the side of the trees so I didn't have to walk on the frozen snow. The hardest bit was the mountaineering I had to do to pick up the poop. My #newknee […]

#eloise likes to open the dogfood/treat delivery herself.

@psneeze In Jeremy the Rescue Draconea news, he is now self supporting and no longer needs his prostethic shower pole trunk! Also back to his three headed glory.

That Chappell Roan dress. I can't help thinking how agonizing the inevitable stand-on-your-own-train moment would be.

We have a new game. Find it! She barked at me to play this today. When I went to see what she was barking at she did the sniffing action. It was obvious what she wanted. It's like a doggy Montessori here. #eloise #dogsofmastodon

5 alarm fire in the building next door. Another bike battery. They seem to have it under control. They've got to do something about those batteries. That's 3 fires in a 2 block span since Jan 1st.

#newknee update One of my new exercises is standing on one leg for 30 secs and I can do that better than I could before the surgery My ankle was always fighting with my knee before and I was very wobbly but now I can just do it! The PT pushed it to 108⁰ today which is apparently good. I was […]

Just checking. Yes the memes are correct. Sat 7pm at one of the nicer cinemas in the city. 4 seats sold.

I love that amidst all the scandal and depravity released in the Epstein files today. The journal.ie went with someone sent a text that said Irish women have horrible asses as the most notable […]

Holy crap it's cold. Coldest day in 31 years apparently. Be careful out there. Frostbite can set in in 15 mins. #nyc

There was nobody home except #eloise and me and she needed to go out so I took her. It was a bit terrifying on the very slushy bits but I had treats with me and she knows 'Wait for me' and she was a very good dog so we made it! #newknee

I really hope there are some big The Boss fans coming to terms with being the bad guys in his protest song. "I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people […]

I have just been served a bowl of coffee.

#newknee update. Dressing removed. Wound looking good. She even said it looks like 4-5 weeks post-op.and I'm only 3. It's such a relief to get it off. It was starting to give me the ick. And now it feels less tight too.

Don't worry, I've got you Rest in Peace, Alex. Beautiful street art tribute by Topsy (topsy_paints on Instagram) in Seattle, U.S.

I went on an adventure to the grocery store two blocks away. Sidewalks and roads are cleared but crossing at junctions means either wading through a f myew inches of slush or climbing over banks of frozen snow. Two separate strangers offered me their hands to help me across said obstacles. It's […]

See, she can be a small dog. Just in from a snowy walk. I guess she's feeling chilly. #eloise

Oh yay, someone gave the super from the building across the street a snow blower.

I'm pretty sure our local store will be open tomorrow but in case I can't get out, I bought bread, cheese and a carton of potato leek soup. If I can have grilled cheese and a creamy soup during a snowstorm, I'll be just fine. I also got peanuts, chocolate and cider but they'll probably be gone […]

There is an emergency rally today in Union Square at 4pm. Wrap up if you are attending. #nyc #abolishice

As if she knows how horrifically cold it is outside, #eloise is still curled up.in her bed at 12.45.

A lot of people showed up today. #abolishice

Despite what the NY Post would have people believe, it is not the mayor's call to give kids a traditional snow day or not, only whether school is in person. The latest UFT contract specifically states that in the case of school building closures, we will teach remotely. We get paid $250 every […]

I probably won't be able to do the whole march, but I'm going to hobble down to Union Square at 4pm in solidarity with Minneapolis because Fuck ICE.

The tri-state area could use some Teresa Mannion wisdom this weekend. Don't make unnecessary journeys. Don't take risks on treacherous roads. https://youtu.be/FVlq-mHbHFg?si=U-Q8vdcF-IzXqvR0

First PT today and I made 100⁰ flexion which was my goal for next Monday and 0⁰ extension which is better than before the surgery. Also I made it there by subway, stairs and all. Yes it swelled up after the session but once it was iced I was all good again. #newknee

Hmm - looking at expected snow totals for NYC this weekend. Getting to the hospital for my #newknee follow up appointment on Monday morning will be fun. I wonder can I teach #eloise to pull a sled.

Stollen and custard. Yum.

You know it's been fun at the dog park when you come back with frozen drool across your nose and can barely keep your eyes open. #eloise

I was very bold tonight and went to see Jessie's Girl - an 80s cover band - that I had bought tickets to before I knew I had to have the surgery. I thought it'd be ok because we had paid for a table. But I barely sat at that table. I danced! A little stiffly - and admittedly I put a lot of […]

#eloise dragged my son out for a walk in the snow. It was so cute. She was looking out the window at it and then running to press her 'walk' button excitedly.

MLK weekend. Why would people in Harlem need the train to stop?

I am OUT! A local tapas place, we got the bus the 5 blocks. So not much walking. But I am without my ice machine. Sona test run of sorts. Got good food and good company and so far so good! @FoxeinSocks

#newknee 10 day update: The swelling has gone down a lot and I'm getting around much better and it's easier to get comfortable in bed. I don't need to keep it straight all the time anymore. Bruising has mostly faded to yellow. I still have the bandage on so no idea what the wound looks like. The […]

I watched K Pop Demon Hunters today and I actually enjoyed it. I didn't think I would but I wanted to see what it is about it that has grabbed kids' attention all over the world. I still don't really get what 'it' is but the songs are catchy and I got into the story.

'Even women...'

I picked up #crochet for the first time in a long time and I wanted to start with something quick. So I made a little bird.

I just heard The Pixies This Monkey's Gone to Heaven on the radio and in my head I went 'Ha! 6,7!!!' I'm broken.
