Unfortunately, this sweet goober needs another surgery to stop his internal leaking. (For anyone who knows things, he needs a thoracic duct ligation with cisterna chyli ablation and a subtotal pericardectomy.)

Ryan woke up sick yesterday. I was the final holdout, but I too have now fallen.

I can’t get over the camo blind netting over the podium. No one can see it! No one will know!

Sir, this is a Wendy’s.

Update, 4 out of 4 kids and 2 out of 4 adults. My husband and I are hanging on.

Update: 4 out of 4 kids.

3 out of 4 kids are down with what we are assuming is the flu on our ski vacation. We’re most likely heading home a day early tomorrow, so would love your tots and pears that the adults can stay healthy long enough to get everyone home safely. Also less barf would be great.

My last two shots before my world went dark.

Holy hell.

I did it! I wanted to quit! I cried! I said I was going to stop! I didn’t! I finished my lesson and made it down the big bunny hill without stopping! Honestly, I could cry I’m so proud of myself.

About a year ago, I felt like I was rotting. I was depressed. My doctor suggested I start weight lifting with a personal trainer. I said my goal was to be able to feel confident enough in my muscles and bones to do a ski lesson. TODAY IS THAT DAY!!! I achieved a goal! I stuck with it! I am here!!

Help there is a Roman numeral clock in this vacation condo and now all the boys are saying VI VII.

All of my ads on every platform are Heated Rivalry and under eye serums.

This is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars. ictnews.org/news/north-c...

Me: I have no idea why my boys want to sit around and watch someone else play video games. Also me: Watches my fifth video of the day of simple crochet scarf stitches.

Women describing men in romantasy books.

Can’t wait to have strangers tell me he doesn’t need a coat when they can’t see he’s been shaved seven ways to Sunday since his surgery. (Gus is also not amused.)

I am in between sizes right now (people come in all sizes, including in between sizes!). Do I want to ski in pants that are a smidge too tight (not popping buttons tight, just tighter than I’d prefer) or ones I have to tighten using the Velcro in the band and are too baggy in the bum?

Trying to find ski boots that fit my straight-sized but athletic calves made me realize how inaccessible skiing is to anyone not built like a gazelle. I ended up in a men’s “high volume max” for goodness sake.

I’m absolutely loving these coloring books with alcohol markers and paint markers. Look at my ghosties!!

All of this going down during the 250th anniversary year of America is a degree of cringey writing that would be roundly mocked were it a novel published in an alternative timeline.

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.

My boys went from these to the Questioneers to Stuart Gibbs to James Ponti and now they are on book 26 or something of Rick Riordon’s massive collection.

The world sucks but it also does not suck.

Signed up for a Rapid Response Training with the Washington Immigrant Solidarity Network. Fuck ICE.

Thinking about Nemik right now. Thinking of Brasso. Thinking of Kleya. Thinking of Mon Mothma.

🎶my throat is on fiyahhhhh🎶

Abolish and prosecute ICE. They did a murder in broad daylight today. Imagine what they're doing in the closed facilities we're somehow not even allowed to see.

Pupdate: of course he was 95% better by the time we got to the vet. Thankfully, they didn’t find anything emergent, but we will watch him overnight and if it happens again tomorrow, they will most likely do some imaging.

Having a nerve pain flare. What should I curl up and watch to dissociate?

“Oh this? This is my coping mechanism hobby. I acquired it during the last round of unprecedented times”

I know you’re not supposed to type someone else’s enneagram, but Gus can’t read so I need to tell you he’s a 7 through and through. Nothing is wrong! Everything is going to be fine! Optimism!

New year, new deductible! (back to the emergency vet in Canada with Gus because he won’t put any weight on his back leg—could be chylothorax fluid compressing his nerve)

*covers up rosacea* *puts on blush*

“I’m going to end all the wars.”

“we have to rescue this country from a dictator”

In case you need motivation to Do A Hard Task, I've been putting off applying for border nexus for four years and I finally did it today and it took me less than an hour for me and my boys.

Did I win my league the first year I participated in Fantasy Football? HELL YES I DID 🏈💪🏼

I am never ever leaving!

Before and after! My husband built me shelves for my little reading/rotting corner in our sunroom! I’m re-organizing and deciding what books are going to go on the shelves, but could not wait to share how much better it looks and functions! I loooove it.

2026 is my year of the Cozy Hobby. Starting early.

Merry Christmas! Gus does not understand why we can bring nature inside but he cannot.

The west coast is really aiming for the line “oh, the weather outside is frightful” this Christmas.

I broke my ankle in second grade and every once in a while it painfully reminds me that barometric pressure is a thing.

Last year, my mom and I went and bought a ton of clearance Christmas fabric after the holiday. This year, we are making bags and furoshiki wraps that we can use over and over. I’m also cutting reusable gift tags on my laser. Cutting down on the trash we produce at Christmas!

Got new art. I’m not a live, laugh, love kinda girl.

I need more medical research to go to nerve pain. My daily medication keeps it mostly in check, but I need an over-the-counter something for times I have breakthrough nerve pain. It just laughs at lidocaine and capsaicin.

Suzanne Collins just downed some whisky and got her laptop out.
