Into the veins, straight into the veins.

Yes, I DID meal prep some dump and run dinners today. Do I do this often? No! Did I make 3 different recipes? Yes! I have 3 more to prep, but the meats needed have yet to thaw enough for me to incorporate them appropriately. Gotta love a shut down.

Unfortunately, they've been eyeballing Africa for a while, just looking for any excuse.

Movies in our collection we have watched this Halloween Night in order: 1. Nightmare Before Christmas 2. It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown 3. Mad Monster Party.

Trick or treating in the #pnw is on point tonight. It's dumping rain on and off. The kids have coats over their costumes, parents have umbrellas. Some kids are getting driven in cars. All have been polite. Even had a solo kid walk up to the bowl we left outside - took 1 maybe 2 candies & left

I didn't really WANT to add knowledge about the Wagner Group to my trivia brain, but there you have it. It's done.

Here's a real question: could the British Monarchy subpoena the files in question and release them to the world?

Holy shit. Midnight massacre at ICE.

Someone explain to me like I'm 5yo, why we can't make voting districts into grids vs the crazy lines based on ever changing wealth and status?

No, it's not. Here's a reminder!

Tell me you live in the PNW with pets, without telling me. I'll go first.

Former Federal Reserve Chairs Ben Bernanke and Janet Yellen urged the US Supreme Court to overturn most of Trump’s global tariffs, saying they’re based on misconceptions about the global economy.

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube. Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X). *1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.” youtu.be/5t5QK03KXPc

Enjoy one of my clients pets on our walk yesterday. No notes.

Timeline cleanse from a walk today.

Gonna launch a new brand of alcohol, and I think I'm gonna name it Kessler's Gin ...

Also, I may have "liked" too many posts, so they are making sure I'm not a bot.

Apparently I said something that has me now appealing my right to use Thr34ds. This should be amusing. I must have liked the wrong post or maybe it was because I said was going to my Aunt's "celebration of life" yesterday, but used the word that starts with "f"? Gotta love the ai bots

Ohh that's RICH @ohhthatsrich.bsky.social

here you go boss

It's official. Fall has indeed arrived in my home, as I have switched from our kantha back to razai until Spring.

After the 15th inning it is time to replace one player with a dog until someone wins or it's all dogs.

How can you tell you're still working for the government during your shutdown? Receiving a blank pay stub verification email.

Timeline cleanse to get everyone ready for the week. Enjoy these two does and their fawns eating acorns on McCord AFB. #pnwlife

Lolz. Truth! 😹

Pro tip: if the notes say don't, I say don't, and you don't have corresponding appts to go with what I told you NOT to do, don't do it. If I told you to call if you were still confused about not doing it, then call...don't just do it. That's what the office staff are there for, I promise.

Nobody dresses up for 730am Saturday bloodwork. #itkyk

"They hated immigrants more than they loved their own country's freedom" would make a hell of an epitaph.

Fun fact: if you have white hair, your passport photo may lose the top of your head due to the crappy lighting. Enjoy!

👏🏼👐🏼

12 hours into this shutdown and I already have friends mentioning their health care meds and services pricing or ability to get services are impacted.

😭

A bus of Bronx middle schoolers pulled up to the Capitol this morning for a long-planned field trip just a few hours after the government shut down. All Capitol tours were cancelled as the guides can’t work in shutdown. So I escorted them in myself and gave them a personal tour. They were great!

Exactly! 👇🏼

Timeline cleanse from my morning commute through Redondo Beach in Washington State.

If Disney owns Fox, can't they just shut it down? Let them start a new channel that only reports on news from all the parks? Just a thought.

This is literally what the actual "siege" of the auxiliary ICE building looks like

I'll leave this here

And to no one's surprise, what used to be our local JoAnns has been converted into a Spirit Halloween store.

As a resident of #Portland it is impossible to capture how unhinged this is. We are a low crime city and the ICE protest "siege" consists of one auxiliary ICE office that normally has at most a dozen weirdos debating what performance art they should use to block a single driveway

Pro tip: if your dog isn't bouncing all over a person when they arrive & seem calm when they return from a walk, it doesn't mean they are mopey, just because they bounce and jump all over for different person when they arrive & return. Neutrality & calmness ≠ unhappy. It's actually respectful.🤷🏼‍♀️

If you’re still scarred by a job from 10+ years ago, and having to work on a clock is triggering, I can’t help you, friend. I like you, I feel for you - but that’s out of my purview.

Had someone's car keys get raptured during a client appt, but that's all.

Punch your reward card kids and better luck next time.

shit ain’t over til it’s over

I for one would happily walk them!

So on Tuesday, is laughing allowed, or should it remain more like a subtle snicker? Asking for a friend. Also, what shoes are we all supposed to wear?

*sigh* add this to the list.
