I'm watching the new Superman and my first thought is James Gunn is obviously a dog owner. I know people talk about their dogs being sweet to them when they're sick, but mine is much more likely to jump on me and try to get me to play with him just like Krypto.

Spencer has a big day of stealing blankets and annoying/stressing out his human. Really tuckered him out.R

Best time of night- just hanging out with Spence, cuddling, playing and watching TV.

I have to be up in less than 3 hours. I had no caffeine today and took my melatonin/l-theanine/gaba supplement on time. I did get a steroid shot today though. I'm guessing that may be the issue. Or just my regular old insomnia refusing to go away.

Picked Spencer up from the groomer today and a guy was waiting for his dog as well. I can’t remember what band was on his tshirt but everything about him screamed heavy metal rocker dude. His dog comes out and it’s the cutest, fluffiest Pomeranian. He treated it with a hi, baby! Love that so much

Phone: Alarm goes off- storm with possible baseball size hail warning. Animals outside will be hurt. Spencer: Hi, I want to go out. Me: No! Did you not hear the warning? Spence: You're mean, I'm going to pout now.

If you are in the Edmonton area Fiasco is still missing - please check garages and sheds and engines! Let's get him home, please share x

Me: Spencer, you're a good boy. Well, actually you're not. Good boys don't stand on the table and eat the butter. Spence: But I'm still cute! Me: Yep, still cute and lovable. Spence: Then who needs to be a good boy? Me: Well, I'd really appreciate it if you'd try to be a good boy. Spence: We'll see

There should be a law that if you mention a pet on here there should be a picture of the pet within your last 5 posts. Seriously, don't make me search for the kitty and puppy pics. #dogsky #catsky

Well, I finally got covid. Not happy. I don't even go anywhere & I do grocery pickup so less likely to get it there. My teeth hurt. My throat hurts like crazy. My doctor prescribed paxlovid but said don't pick it up if it's too expensive. It's over $1,200 so not getting that.We need 6 month boosters

Cat-sitting was fun last weekend and the beginning of this week but I'm glad to be back to my normal routine. The young cats have now decided they don't have to be well-behaved around me, but they're so cute that I don't care.

Took Spencer for a mile walk today since it rained& was cool. On the way back he insisted on cutting down the street in front of our house & going in the front instead of going on the sidewalk behind our house & going in the back like usual. He was just so tired. Got in& he promptly got the zoomies.

I guess if no one's going to use my 20+ year old idea for the sequel, I'm glad it's in another Celine's hands.

a reminder that @bookshop.org is doing free shipping right now through July 11 w/ the anti-prime day sale and that means you can stick it to a billionaire, support your local indies (and by extension your community), AND get books!!! (If you want to buy my books today, I won't be mad about it!)

Ah fuck we got the Philip K Dick future 😞

Spencer doing the famous splootward facing dog yoga pose.

fwiw, i don’t personally think that either doomerism OR toxic positivity is what this moment calls for; i think what we actually need to be collectively looking towards is a secret third thing (hopepunk) it’s cool and important to give a shit, and to look for ways to help each other.

Me: Spence, where are your balls? Spencer: I told you! The Humane Society stole them! They gained my trust, then drugged me and I woke up with no balls! Me: I meant your tennis balls. You have 6 and I can only find 2. Spencer: Oh. No clue. #dogsofbluesky #dogsky #dogs

Kirstie Alley ran away from me once. My mom & I plus a separate group of about 3 people had parked & were walking to a theater. Kristie Alley was looking at the window display she was helping her friend with. Kiristie looked & saw me in the lead obviously recognize her and she bolted into the store

Haven't posted in a while because being alive is so tiring right now. But I feel like people should know how smart yet rebellious Spencer is. I had started suspecting he learned how to open the door from the living room to the laundry room when he kept greeting me at the garage door which is also

Pineapple migraine

I have seen sooo many movies more than 6 times. I feel like growing up in the 90s with cable, there are just certain movies every kid would watch on repeat. This is not one of those always-on-cable movies, but I've definitely seen it more than 6 times as well.

#slashtag I want to recommend Suze (Kanopy) as a better Michaela Watkins movie than Heart Eyes (although I did enjoy Heart Eyes) and Humanist Vampire Seeks Consenting Suicidal Person (Mubi/Kanopy) as a better romantic/horror-comedy. Both are heart-warming and I think Jeff especially would like Suze

Currently reading Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi. Last finished one was This Wicked Fate by Kalynn Bayron.

As someone who took magnesium about 2.5 hours ago and is scrolling the internet after failing to fall asleep and getting back up, I'm going to say no.

Probably Rhythm Nation with Black Cat a close second. The amount of times I listened to that cassette tape... yes, I'm old.

It's a mirror and a window. You can find yourself in books making you feel seen and validated. You can also learn about other cultures and ideas to open yourself up to more. Often you get both of this in the same book.

what did she know???

Define your music in 6 artists: 1. Sam Cooke 2. Mary Chapin Carpenter 3. Phil Collins 4. Fleetwood Mac 5. Iron and Wine 6. Warren Zevon

I happen to be watching the Bob's Burgers episode where they are trying to get Linda's grandmother's bolognese recipe & dinner tonight happens to be bolognese. Now I'm thinking about how it was only about 4 yrs ago that I realized when people said they were having spaghetti they meant jarred sauce 1

Trying to convince Spence that not sharing pretzels with him is not animal abuse. He says he will let his dog union rep determine that. Please excuse the mess. #dogsky #dogs

Got to cat sit for these cuties last weekend/earlier this week. I was told Finn liked belly rubs. Apparently not from me. He captured my hand between his paws and pushed it away. Very polite and adorable way to set a boundary! #caturday #cats

Spencer usually doesn’t mind getting groomed but today he really was not wanting to go. When I picked him up he literally jumped over the half door to get to me. Poor boy. But at least he’s all nice and clean.

Been a while since I shared a pic of the cutest living puppers in the world.

The school system I grew up in got a clinic several years back that serves anyone in the district. It's low-cost. The head of that clinic that also was the head of a program dealing with/helping homeless students was fired due to the DOGE/Trump cuts. Trying to stay not too negative & do what I can

We could just be reading great books, watching good movies, and eating fruit. Instead we have to survive/fight miserable power hoarders. What a waste of limited time.

My 504 plan was the only reason I graduated high school. My high school had a very strict absence policy that would have taken away all of my credits if not for my 504 plan and my parents' advocacy. This is horrible.

Finn is such a cutie. #caturday

Spencer and I share a love for all things comfy- chairs, couches, fluffy blankets, and pillows are very important to us. I'm so glad that I've cultivated a space that is so comfy and inviting. The world may be a mess, but my space is a joy.

So if I have several issues I want to email my senators/rep on, is it best if I write a separate email on each subject or can I just write one long list of concerns/grievances?

Me, reading all these Grammy posts while listening to Phil Collins, Tina Turner, and Lisa Loeb- maybe I should check out some newer music.

It's 71 on 2/2. Took Spencer for a 1.39 mile walk and the park was packed of course. Hoping to get another walk in a little later as well. Have to take advantage of this nice weather while it lasts! It's a good way to temporarily forget the current chaos in the world.

Since it's Black History Month please consider visiting Left on Read if you're in the Wichita area or you can order from their link to bookshop.org. It's a cute, small shop and the owner is very friendly and helpful. #booksky #books #indiebookstore

This is the face of a dog that got caught standing on the kitchen island eating cornbread about 15 minutes ago. I guess not only the table chairs need to be fully pushed in when not in use but also the island chairs. One was barely out.

This is so scary. I hope they find survivors.

I probably don't even need to say this, BUT. Me not posting about every nightmarish thing is not because I am not internally (or externally!) screaming multiple times per day, i just figure you heard about it from 100 other people posting about each new nightmare. I assure you, my soul is cracking.

Really not feeling well today but managed to force myself to take a 1 mile walk with Spencer. I just couldn't justify not taking him when it's mid-50s outside. I'm hoping that the whole mild activity that is supposed to help everything will actually will. Here's a pic of him sitting in the sunlight.

I actually had to leave the house today (2 days in a row!) to have lunch with friends. Since I was out of the house, I decided to actually go out and shop local. That's something I support in theory but don't do enough since all my local grocery stores are big chains. I went to 2 indie bookstores &

Got to go to the National Women's Figure Skating Free Skate tonight and it was so much fun! I kind of wish I'd gotten tickets to more events, but there were too many conflicts this week. I did get there early enough to get to see a little of the Rhythmic Dance including Evans and Chock!

I don't get a lot of engagement on here so I think I can come up with a few nice things.
