Fandom, engineering, life. Been around a hot minute. There’s probably going to be a significant number of dog photos, so consider that your warning.

You walk along my street and all the other houses have their shades drawn tight, dim lights filtering out, maybe the occasional blue of a television reflection, and THEN THERE'S MINE 😂

The table and chair(s) were part of my birthday present to myself from Ikea and I'm really getting mileage out of them so far

Side note, the rubber plant on the floor is getting cut back in spring again because holy heck is it annoying. It's on a rolling stand, so it's easy to move, but yarrgh.

I know from experience that floor gets cold in winter (one of these days I'll insulate underneath it better) so may put a rug down and/or add the small space heater

Brought the table and chairs from the porch in for the winter and realized I had room in the sunroom so that, with a little rearranging, I could turn one side into a wintertime nook
One side of the sun room looking into the small, square covered porch. There are plants growing in from both sides of the photo including a tall fiddle leaf fig and long hanging ivy. A small wood slatted table and matching folding chair with cushion sits in the center with an orchid on it and a small hoya hanging above it. There is a hanging light in the corner also illuminating the space.

4-panel comic. (1) [Person 1 with shoulder-length hair sitting at a laptop with Person 2 standing behind her.] PERSON 1: I’m browsing the list of potentially habitable planets. This one is promising! Wait, no, the surface is thousands of degrees. (2) PERSON 1: This one could be a water planet! ...But it’s not dense enough to be solid. PERSON 2: Yeah, that’s a mini-Neptune. (3) PERSON 1: This one could be habitable if it has a greenhouse effect! Sadly, spectroscopy shows no atmosphere. PERSON 2: Aww. (4) PERSON 1: Here’s one in the habitable zone, 1 Earth mass, with an atmosphere! PERSON 2: Ooh, water star does it orbit? PERSON 1: ...Sol. PERSON 2: *Dammit.*

Crazy Plant Lady: Too Many Plants?
Alt: Crazy Plant Lady: Too Many Plants? Cycles between 5 images: Two of household spaces overrun with houseplants, one with the text "what's you decor style?" and "me:" with an image of a person in a bed surrounded by a sea of plants, one a cartoon image of a white woman in a gardening outfit that says "Crazy Plant Lady" with features of such a person in smaller text around the perimeter, and one with large black text on a white background that says "CRAZY PLANT PERSON"

Lights done! It's a good thing all my plant lights, and non-plant lights, are LEDs.

No, I gotta pace myself. Lights today, after food, and shelves another day.

blueMeridian @bluemeridian.bsky.social · 14/10/2026
Right, okay, today. I do really want to get the lights and shelves up so the big things are done and then my last 4 days of PTO will be doing very little. (I have accepted the wood floors aren't going to get washed and porch windows aren't going to get cleaned. Mostly accepted.)

Sister has left and I can say the house is back to rights because the projects scattered around don't count. As you might guess, Tavi is not a fan of this development.

Kenna was an ANGEL at the vet this morning (minor rash, allergy related, has round of steroids and antibiotic wipes) including in the waiting room with two other dogs and a cat. Pretty sure she was considering stealing one of the puppies from the litters that traveled through while we were waiting.

For my sister's last night here, and to celebrate what is possibly the last warm and sunny day I'm off until next year, we're splurging on sushi delivery. SO much has gotten done the last four days. SO little of it was what I planned 😂

Dogcatcher xkcd.com/3309/
Comic. [Three people seated at table.] PERSON 1 with ponytail: Once we break this story, he won’t be able to get elected *dogcatcher*. PERSON 2: Why do people always use “dogcatcher” as the example of a worthless office? Animal control officers are valued professionals. It just seems unnecessarily insulting. PERSON 3 with shoulder-length hair: Well, their job *is* catching strays.

Went to Monday run club. Allergies + low running fitness is a terrible combo. Let's just say an effort was made, there was running involved, and call it good.

It’s not (just) the plants that do it but this (real) ponytail palm hasn’t grown for, like, years at this point. It’s nowhere near the north facing window it would love.

Actually pulled the cast iron out for it even. I have so much more cookware than I use these days, but I haven't been *cooking* much (and there are multiple reasons I should do it more...)

For dinner I made us sausage and sauerkraut with pan roasted potatoes, red onion, an apple, and just a smidge of brown sugar at the end. Absolutely going on the regular rotation.

YT served me up a 50 minute fountain pen ASMR that isn't normally something I'd click on but they're flying through solving **calculus problems** The questions are in a language I don't know, so I can't read the words, but the equations are SO soothing 😌
