Mr. T does Springsteen.

I stay off the Internet for 3 hours and y'all let Diane Keaton die??

Um, Wheatus is playing at Zbar tonight? It's the 25th anniversary tour.

Steve from Blue's Clues is killing it.

K was up at 8:30 making more noise than most people make in an entire day and I told him I was going to murder him until he was dead. He told me I needed to be more positive. I told him I was absolutely positive I was going to murder him.

Dudes rock.

Do you know how much easier it is being in charge of the Boss Day shopping when you have a good boss?

Meanwhile in #Portland

Second attempt at cabbage rolls has gone much better, and should have more flavor. Rolling up the cabbage leaves is kind of satisfying.

My fall/winter uniform

It should have been John Prine's 79th birthday today. Maybe I'll have a Handsome Johnny in his honor.

It got cold enough last night that one of the possums (Blaze?) used the condo. I'm not sure how long he was in there, because the camera didn't catch his entrance, but I'm thinking he was there for a couple of hours.

My brother had a gnarly surgery today, but this GoFundMe is giving me life.

News you can use! I just bought this 6ft LED skeleton for a steal.

Someone is even needier than usual these days. He's started hitting me with both front paws if he thinks I need to pay attention to him, and he is not a fan of Rosewood putting himself between us.

waiter: would you like some capers with your pasta batman: what

I somehow still haven't been to this place right by my house, and now there will be two. The KFC getting replaced before the Rally's is something.

Sky with blue sky on Bluesky.

Why am I wheezing laughing at this?

I can't believe I forgot about this video.

Going to dress T up as Springsteen for Halloween this year, since he's the boss. Figured it'd be easier than trying to get him to wear a blonde wig and be Judith Light.

New Cory Branan single out today with guest vocals from Mr. Childers.

Thirty paintings created by the bushy-haired, soft-spoken Bob Ross will soon be up for auction to defray the costs of programming for small and rural public television stations suffering under cuts in federal funding. https://to.pbs.org/4nEQMrw

Fun facts: A group of giraffes is called a tower. A group of raccoons is called a gaze. A group of opossums is called a passel.

Last night I said it had been awhile since I'd seen 3 raccoons at once, and tonight, here they are. I'm a wizard.

Went to take my evening meds and discovered I didn't take my morning meds. No wonder I feel like total shit. Don't forget your meds, friends!

Our jails were already trash, some moreso than others, but total, fucking trash, and I'm sure this is making things an even bigger nightmare.

I don't want to get into personal shit on here, but I'm crying happy tears currently, because today I've been reminded that people are good, actually.

Without downloading anything new, where are you mentally?

Emergency biiiig stretch for the timeline.

Thomas Dambo is going to have 5 giant trolls in a park about a mile outside of downtown Raleigh starting at the end of this month, so that gives me something new to see while I'm there for Roadtrip.

Stressed out about a simple work task, so I told myself I was going to do it first thing today. It is 12:52 and I have not started.

I was looking for a funny card a friend sent me years ago, and I found an envelope full of notes I kept from grandpa. Now I'm a mess. He died 10 years ago this month, and I feel like I just got gut punched.

Sometimes I really notice the center part on T's head and I tell him I will not kill the Malaysian Prime Minister for him.

Watching my stories

I am so used to reading on Kindle, and you know what sucks about physical books? You can't read them in the dark.

Calabacitas, Spanish rice, and Sonoran dogs for dinner.

Regardless of how you feel about The Nightmare Before Christmas (meh), this song is an all time banger.

I want to stay in my ghost nightshirt all day but I want to pick up my Silas House mystery book from Carmichael's. Sunday problems.

T, Mercy, and Bearclaw all sit and look at the camera, but Rosewood stays weaving in between the dogs, rubbing on them, because he loves them so.

Look. People like what they like. Good for them. But my friends know I can't fucking stand Taylor and have included me on a group text about the album, and that's incredibly unnecessary. Talk amongst yourselves.

Today I made hot sauce from peppers I grew, I'm soaking pinto beans I grew to use for dinner tomorrow, I have coffee ice cream w/dark chocolate chunks in the ice cream maker right now, I'm roasting/dicing the last of the Hatch chiles I grew, squeezed in an October pool day, fresh sheets on the bed.

I got about a cup of hot sauce out of only about 1/4-1/3 cup of chiltepins, and it's good good.

Since we're getting the Reading Rainbow reboot, could we get Mr. Rogers, but with like Matthew Lillard, or Matthew Gray Gubler, or Steve from Blue's Clues?

The human sized dog bed is big enough for the human and two dogs.

If you had to take a group of 5 people to dinner in DC on a weeknight, where would you take them? This is a work thing, and I have no idea who is going to be paired up w/me, coupled w/I've only been to DC twice. Help! Please! Staying at the Monaco.

I am sad, and stressed, and tired, and I have to drop a bunch of money to have T's teeth pulled out, so I bought the dumbest hoodie ever. For morale.

Love to see news about a shooting and my friend's mailbox is in the image.

At this point I'm not sure who's who. I think I have at least 3 possums.

My bff has to be muzzled at the vet because he's a dick. I finally found a basket muzzle that fits so the vet could get a little look at his teeth. He goes in 11/3 for a dental, and she said he could lose as many as 20 teeth; won't know until she gets in there. Little dogs are so high maintenance. 😭
