Goodnight pup

Why does this Buddha have a Vegas style led halo?

Somehow the wildest episode amongst a see of episodes (Canal St Lynchian even) is S4E1. Someone was processing something. Really just getting it all out

Walker, Texas Ranger is a trip. How much acid was the editing person on? What are these storylines? Why is a monk at a carnival? Why am I writing a thesis on the use of shaky shots / editing and how it links the audience viscerally to the moment Chuck Norris kicks ass?

Home for a spell before I have to leave for work. Wish she could be an office pup today. Bet people would fucking love an office pup for the day

And finally calm due to sedation My poor sweet angel pup and her various medical adventures

Started off the day calmly battling a snow storm to get Miss Riley to the vet (usual stuffs). Will battle back home make sure she’s good a bit then have to turn around and head right back north for work Smiley Riley tho!!

Tis hard to leave for work when your dog is being such an angel

This was how she started after I gave in and let her in because I didn’t want her sad whining at my door (that face I can’t make that face sad that’s illegal)

Endoscopy to start the day. Riley butting in when I have to wfh to end it

Bits & pieces

Still working on processing Weir passing on Bowie’s 10th anniversary yesterday. If anyone needs me i’ll be blasting off into space

find whatever makes you laugh for a second, screenshot it, then promptly forget about it for a bit for extra laughs later

The Fallout chapter of adventures in escapism was peak camp as it should be

Today on adventures in escapism: The Pitt, which starts with me yelling at my screen “DR. ROBBIE WHERE IS YOUR HELMET YOU’D NEVER”

I wish Riley counted as a doctors note: sorry can’t come in today, my dog has demanded cuddles

Another solar rotation and I'm still here, just about. Been dealing with the worst flare in more than a decade so that's been a lot, but I am very slowly coming out the other side and picking up a camera again. This is a self portrait from my birthday this time last year.

Sleepy laid back day in our world. Narnia trilogy marathon with my ma then I’m gonna make some soup

As a distraction I hunted down Hollywood Shuffle to see if it is really as wild & wonderful as I remembered and yes. Yes it is. Right off the bat. Better even.

Shovels are so 2025. This year I’m investing in a flame thrower to just melt this shit away from me

Peacock has a whole area of their sports hub dedicated to dogs. Just a boatload of dog competition things. What a fucking time to be alive.

Having the disco ball planter and the crystal one hanging is giving such amazing lil blips of light everywhere I’m kinda obsessed with them

Magic light and Riley for the last day of 2025

10PM and my street was finally plowed. Huzzah!

My neighbor Leroy really out here saying fuck this shit I have places to be and using his snow blower to clear the road in front of our driveway. We’re aware we’re not getting plowed any time soon. Man deserves a medal

Got our cars cleared for the moment. Lost the front yard so going to name it Mt McFuckFace Snowlorden to feel better about it

Ok done bitching for the moment. Today shall be spent reading (finished Floriography last night & still slow savoring the Dictionary) & snuggling with Riley & keeping my flare from fully spiraling & if I’m lucky I’ll have a brain cell to make something (what I have no clue)

Well managed to get the back porch clear for Riley to get out. Taking a moment before forcing myself back out to clear my car to stay on top of things but idk man. Also my jacket is hella long (almost to knees) if this gives an idea of what my ass is clearing right now

The face of a pup realizing everyone is at home today (beyond my lil bro)

Actually had to film this and right now it’s calm outside I dunno how wild the winds would be around the lake to get into work

I had to try & shovel thru the missing screen in the door to clear it to let Riley out. Mistakes were made. Found a mid looking spot to measure. Called out because it’s only 12 hours into the storm & I can make it up Friday so snow day I guess? Can’t make it off my road anyway so SNOW DAY

Inspiring

Glad I’m not the only one with a single brain cell floating in the ether

Currently: Riley & today’s cards

Ugh guys it’s so sterile, not enough greenery, not enough life. I should buy a plant to liven things up

Goodnight from Riley

Realizing that my allodynia might be contributing to the problem & my random allergic reactions. For example: a single piece of hair that touches my skin burns / itches / feels like getting bit. A rogue strand of hair should not burn. Fuck it ima shave it off what now hair?

When they do my endoscopy in Jan. & take the biopsies for my Barrett’s, I’m going to ask them to test for mass cell activation syndrome stuffs. I have the symptoms & people keep bringing it up to me including the IV nurse at my MRI Would explain me being allergic to myself & everything under the sun

Pretty sure I’m allergic to myself.

Little Nate showed up to plow the lot for me! Huzzah!

Found Fringe on a streaming service again and I am so excited to rewatch it for the millionth time I still want the drawing of the white tulip tattooed on me

Last bits from last night Riley being adorable per usual The disco ball planter now up and hanging from the new bar Orry got me for Xmas (will take more photos of it & the crystal chain one I got when I’m home)

Jesus Tap Dancing Christ we got a lot of snow overnight. Made it up to work, lot wasn’t plowed again but I only had to battle a snow wall not an ice wall to make it into the lot. Huzzah for being the only person working in person today across our 4 locations

Riley is being surprisingly mellow with me while my landlord is here to fix the broken drain…

Floriography is making me want to bring back the Victorian tradition of communicating via flowers. Which is only a helpful helpful impulse given my plant obsession. Sister also gave me a gift card… which was promptly used to get Riley dog food & a healthy ass spider plant. Will use for more plants

I was today years old when I learned that narcissus (plant) is also known as a daffodil. I honestly always pictured smaller flowers when I thought of the legend, like slightly lower with purple hued flowers (idk I get specific in my head). Why am I only now putting 2 and 2 together?
