I have ordered food and taken tomorrow off work because my sinuses have gone from annoying to downright miserable and I am going to need the recovery day even if it's better tomorrow. Bestie reminded me that this is why sick time exists.

The problem, of course, is that while there are things I can do for allergies, there is jack shit I can do for this. Curse whatever god said “haha wouldn’t it be funny to give some people fake allergies? All the fun of allergies without a single actual allergy in sight??”

I have been sneezing and watery eyed and unable to breathe for a few hours now, and I wasn't sure if the blame lay with cat or with weather changing. But given the sudden uptick in wind gusts trying to take the house down, I think I figured it out.

I cannot even stand how cute she is

With Stranger Things over, I'm finally biting the bullet and canceling my Netflix subscription until they put out something amazing again that I have to watch. I'll re-up for a month probably in the summer for Enola Holmes 3 at least, but right now it's such a money suck. 😭

Okay, I'm ready to read something that does NOT involve body horror and people dying horribly. *stares at remaining half-finished book, which in fact involves body horror and people dying horribly* ...maybe this is a good time for the new Cat Sebastian book that arrived just before the holidays.

To the person on Murray Ave repeatedly leaning on their car horn at 7:30 on a Sunday morning: I don't even believe in Hell, but I hope you rot in its lowest circle for eternity anyway because you are obviously the worst sort of asshole

why is it so exhausting trying to find great new fanfic anymore i am headachy and pms-ing and all i want is a good fic to sink into that i haven't already read a dozen times but apparently i've just gotten way too picky

Omg 😂🤣😂🤣

Hans Zimmer, I’m disappointed in you.

I continue to be obsessed with Mel and Langdon and I'm so delighted about that tbh. #ThePitt

Thank god I have The Pitt to watch after this travesty

CHIMNEY! DID! THE! RIGHT! THING! FFS why is Eddie the ONLY person showing any sense here??? #911abc

I have FINALLY finished my first book of the year, and thus, it is time for… The 2026 Book Thread! (If you want to go back and peruse the 2025 thread, it can be found here: bsky.app/profile/brea...) We begin the year with an amazing one…

Gotta be Kingdon Hearts. I didn't play many games in the PS/PS2/PS3 era (the graphics were bad on my migraines), but this one was irresistible. Really need to go back and replay and also play the other two main games in the series.

It was WAY too cold to walk anywhere today, but I’ve been doing really great getting at least a mile in before or after work since the year started. So I bit the bullet and dug my treadmill out. Happily it still works 😂

I forgot to share the drawing I've made for the Hades Rally from last November ! So allow me to share these two mimir with you ! I was so happy to draw Zagreus and Thanathos together ! I like Hades 2, obviously but... Hades the first is still my fav ! #hades #zagreus #thanzag #thanatos

You actually don't have to announce to a ship tag that you don't like that ship. I'm giving you explicit permission to not do that. I'm relieving you of this solemn, sworn duty that you think you have to do that. I am killing the green goblin mask in your room that is telling you to do that.

Trying to budget for an MRI and two specialist visits, plus the bloodwork orders from my physical, and a routine mammogram. I have decent insurance but the rates for specialist copays skyrocketed this year. My HIA account will cover a chunk but even with that... Ugh.

My last dr left the practice so for my physical today, I saw a new-to-me CRNP and she was the loveliest person ever and she took me seriously about my current health concern and wow. Such a nice experience. Of course then I had to have my tetanus booster and now my arm is going to hate me but yknow

Came home with an awful stomachache (hence not wanting to be around the cat right now, just wanna curl up and die in peace, and I’m juuuuust allergic enough to make bed snuggles a bad idea for future me), but also came home to a mailbox shiny, so the day is marginally better than it was 💛

You know that one kid in the changeling episode of Supernatural where she starts banging on the door all “Mommy LET ME IN let me in mommy MOMMY LET ME IN MOMMY!!!!” Anyway I have discovered that Vasya is like that child.

Libby done fucked up with this one

it me lol

Blatant attempts at theft

Somebody did not like that I was in my room and awake but not paying attention to her this morning

Just checked the final score. Is it mean of me to laugh? It feels like it might be mean of me to laugh. (*snickers quietly to self*)

It occurs to me that as the only member of the admin team who is not a Steelers fan, no matter what the outcome of the game tonight, I am going to be the only functional member of the admin team tomorrow. A day when all four of us are in our tiny office together. May the gods have mercy.

I'm in the middle of three books, all of which are technically great, and not a single one of them is holding my attention. Which is starting to piss me off. Anyway instead I watched a movie tonight (a rewatch of an old favorite, A Few Good Men) because at least I can still enjoy those.

Also, I finally buckled down to eat more bananas now that I’m walking more, and my roommate immediately steals one because he assumed I wouldn’t eat it. 😂

I sat down on the couch to eat my after-work banana, and Vasya immediately climbed into my lap and headbutted me for pets and then curled up in my lap and started purring. No cat has done this with me since my family lost CC. I am— 🥹😭💖

This whole thread makes me so weary, because my god I'm tired of overwhelming toxicity in fandom spaces (worse now than it EVER was in my older fandoms, even the ones that were known for toxic fans). But wow, this bit in particular makes me glad I just straight up dislike HR as both show and book

Okay I gave it a fair shot and several hours of game time. I love the story, it seems fun, but I got stuck at the end of the third chapter and I’m throwing in the towel. I do not have the brainpower necessary for these game mechanics. 😭

Look at this little void demon she is so precious 🖤

Meet Vasya, the newest member of the household.

This is Vasya 🥹🖤 Yes, we picked out the black cat I so desperately wanted, and yes, I got to have naming rights. But she is my roommate’s cat, honest! (But she seems to like me! I got to pet her! And brush her! And not a claw or bite mark to show for it!)

Get. Off. Twitter. 🙃

The Crosby jersey sold, Malkin is still available. I’d like to get around $140 (it was signed in person and tickets weren’t cheap) but open to offers. Just want to see it find a good home. There are a couple minor flaws, it was gently used before the signing. Happy to provide additional pics.

Wow the ways in which I am not enjoying this #911abc episode

Okay I didn’t buy this with the intention of flipping it, but I’ve got to admit, that’s gotta be the easiest Lego set I’ve ever resold, at a not-insignificant profit, which is going to be very helpful. (It essentially paid back the original charge, AND paid for the other item I bought instead! 😱)

i have never needed a jersey more than i need this jersey

It’s probably good that Bunny Bakes, the inclusive bakery/cafe in my neighborhood, is always closed when I get off work. I just ate a cherry berry turnover my housemate got me earlier this week and I’m pretty sure I’ve ascended. It was SO GOOD.

Dear FitBit: I would LOVE if my heart rate was only 99 a minute after climbing Cardiac Hill. Alas, you are deeply mistaken.

Gazing at the splendor for five minutes before I list it for sale 😭 The other thing I bought will make me happier and be FAR easier to display (I have zero space for this in my room), and I can’t afford both. But MAN this is the coolest set 😍

Sigh. www.whats-on-netflix.com/news/the-duf...

this is me except the bananas inevitably get thrown away because i don't bake 😓 (i'm doing better! i've eaten two of the three i bought this week! PROGRESS!)

reminder that comments, kudos and engagement isn't a requirement but it keeps your favorite fic authors motivated to write more ♥️

Did a trade for some autographs over the holiday break. Cost me a few figure skating autographs I never really cared for in my collection anyway, and I got to add to a few favorite specific collections. Even a Supernatural one I was missing!

ROYAL MAIL MADE STRANGER THINGS STAMPS??? AND ONE OF THEM IS EDDIE????????? Ohhhhh yes, I am not NEARLY out of the last batch of UK stamps I purchased for my fanmail project, but I need these like I need air, I'm going to have so much fun using them 😍 shop.royalmail.com/special-stam...
