Definitely pulled my lat this morning doing overhead press. Guess this week will be a rest week. Took this pic last week for some motivation.

Pokemon Pokopia. It really *is* all that. And more. I’m obsessed. And I’m fairly certain I’m having more fun with it than I was in the first days of Animal Crossing back in 2020.

Well. I feel like now I can finally announce: I’ve been accepted into an Alternative Certification program to become an elementary teacher. I’ll be teaching in the classroom by August. My life is about to fundamentally change and I’m so excited. 🥹

We’re having so much fun in WoW Classic. Hahaha.

Sometimes I remember I was delivered by Ron Paul and I just…yeah. What a weird.

I love these sweet boys so much.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is as peak as Game of Thrones ever has been. It’s perfect. Perfect.

Long day at work. This bear is ready to sleep a lot.

OH MY GOD!!!! SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP.

So very deeply back onto my bullshit. 😌

This is an excellent analogy, because my recollection from grade school is that the pen on the right looks fun and exciting, and then you play with it for a few minutes and realize it's not actually useful for anything and in fact makes some tasks more cumbersome, and never think about it again.

Winston and I on our daily morning adventure, braving the harsh winter elements. He was so brave.

Desperately need a haircut and beard trim. 🤭

My current reads.

The books I’ve read so far this year. 🤓

Decided to read more in 2026. In recent years, I was reading upwards of 50 books a year. Due to massive changes in my life and anxiety (and most likely depression lol) that came with those changes, over the past 2-3 years I’ve read like..25..? Gonna change that this year.

Winston is obsessed with Ethan’s blanket lol

Fun Saturday night at Scarborough’s Hallow with the BF.🎃🍂 @the-barold.bsky.social

A good Saturday was had at Scarborough Faire RenFest!

I’m just a lil Druid lost in the woods🍃🍂🍁

Funniest possible roll while having advantage. Poor @eotter94.bsky.social 🤣🤣🤣

Really loving my Roegadyn. Started a new #FFXIV character because I could not remember what had led up to Endwalker.

I’m back on my FFXIV grind. Dipped out for a while before starting Endwalker and every time I’ve tried jumping back in I kept bouncing off. Mostly because I forgot what went on in ARR through Shadowbringers. So. I created a new character and I’m feeling so much joy and excitement starting over.

Couple highlights from our weekend trip. I love him so much.

Currently reading (for the 3rd or 4th time.) Y’all, this may be my fav single novel of all time.

Unfortunately, it seems I’m a bit obsessed with the 🍴 lately. We looooove a good Halloween event

Trying a new Upper/lower PPL split at the gym. Got the hair cut and feeling good!

Figurines of a Male Couple engaging in Sexual Activity, ca. 1st century C.E.-3rd century C.E., faience, 11.4 x 18.4 cm, Barakat Collection.

Day off. Lovely fall breeze. Windows are open. And I’m reading about some incomprehensible horrors in the 41st Millennium. ~sigh~ 😌

this kind of smart, walkable, mixed-use urbanism is illegal to build in many American cities.

Date night last night with the boyfriend! 🥰🥰🥰

I wanna go back to bed 🥲

Well then

I love my boyfriend so much. 😍😍

(This is mostly a joke.) If anyone wants to wish me a happy birthday by helping me buy a game or 2..😗

Took the day off for my birthday. Slept tf in. My bf also took off today so we can hang out and go to some cute bookshops. It’s gonna be a good day.

30 min break at work is being taken outside because it’s insanely nice out today. So I’m out here with my lil Yerba, my kindle and my lil Pazuzu to keep me company. 😌😌😌

Sleepy

Really loving The Last Wish (a collection of short stories as well as the first book in the Witcher series).

Walmart spent $35.3B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024, enough to give each of its 2.2M employees annual bonuses of $2,719. Last year, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay of just $29,469. Textbook corporate greed.

Incredible. Finally. 🍃🍂🍁

My man is so sexy. 🥵
