I was going to come on here a complain about my dog stealing a banana from the fruit bowl and eating it but maybe the most noteworthy part of the incident was that she peeled it first.

Today's mindgame to try to beat my executive disfunction – I don't have anything on my to-do list today but if I want to help out Future Me by doing some of their tasks, it would really help out. I've written some words on two projects and took a shower and it's only lunchtime! So far so good!

Apologies to everyone who saw me wearing shorts on Mika's walk this lunchtime. My legs haven't seen the sun for about three years and the glare coming off them was probably blinding 🫣

You couldn't make this up…I've spent months cursing the scaffolding that's been up for almost a year, blocking my light and making it cold in here. But given that it's 27˚C today, I was grateful that we'd get some shade this afternoon. So, of course, they're outside taking it down right now 😆

Mika is going in for the snip today. Watching the pre-op sedatives kick in and her go from “hm…something’s not right,” to “mum 👀 call the police” is funnier than it should be. #writerslife #gsdlife

“YOU CAN SEPARATE THE ART FROM THE ARTIST” The artist is a little mean on the Internet? Yes The artist has directly funded and encouraged the genocide of trans people? lol get fucked

I know I’ve seen this episode of Murder She Wrote before but having Mickey Rooney, Tippi Hedren and Don Swayze on screen at the same time is a bit of a head rush tbh

It's 8am and today has already been a rollercoaster. Down - Woke up at 3.25am and could not get back to sleep 😮‍💨 Up - Found 5 cinnamon rolls in the bag of 4 bake-at-home cinnamon rolls I pulled from the freezer! 😮 Not sure today can get any better ☺️

Well, this morning was interesting. Got yelled at by a man hunting for marmite in the bin. Found a pile of burning plastic in the middle of the street. A dog ran across a road to attack Mika. Owner didn't seem to think it was a big deal. Got home to an ambulance outside the house. And all before 8am

"It must be nice to have a smart dog—" No. I'm having to bribe her to eat lately so if she eats everything in her dish, I drop a treat in it. I reminded her of this when she started begging, but instead of eating her dinner, she dumped it all on the floor and brought me her technically empty dish.

Do not write or email your senators and congress persons, call them. Every day. They don't pay attention to email or snail mail. Call them. Every day. Republican callers out-call Democrats by 11 to 1 on important issues. It's time we speak up or they won't.

Today was MRI day. The first one last June was traumatizing. Confined space plus deafening noise. 0/10 took a week to recover. Today, post having my face cut off and taking a ton of radiation to the skull, my main issue was trying not to yawn for the last 10 mins. What doesn't kill you, I guess…

M goes out with the dog walker twice a week to let her spend some time with her buddies and so I can rest. Except all I do is fret the entire time she's gone 😩 She's been TWO HOURS. I know she bugs the ever-living hell out of me sometimes and I need the break but omg I hates it when she's not here.

I used to frame this with "every time someone reads a pirated version of my book, it costs me a day's worth of pain relief for my dog". It's why I'm having to pull my books from KU. I giveaway free stuff all the time so if you still feel the need to steal from me…I hope you have the day you deserve.
