Eddie got his checkup at the vet and his stitches are healing nicely! ...but he was shaking like a leaf the entire time. Fear of vet: cemented for life.

Closet clean out continues: I have this big box of notes and letters and programs and things from my 15 years of teaching and part of me just wants to say goodbye to it all and move forward and part of me wants to hoard it all in a box forever.

Closet clean out continues. Found old purikura and love letters from my ex-fiance who dumped me oh like 8 years ago now. Throwing them out really does make my apartment feel cleaner, somehow.

Anybody in Japan want a free resin 3D printer and curing station? You just have to pay chakubarai shipping from Yamato. Both have resin residue on them because I constantly spilled resin and the tape is because I replaced the screen on the printer itself. All spare parts, too.

I've been avoiding spending money on non-essentials, but in order to survive the rest of August, I decided to buy a larger sun hat and a proper parasol. Look at this monster! Honestly, no regrets.

Yuuri is barking at the front door because he heard the construction people next door and Eddie is providing backup barking from the safety of the sofa. Solidarity?

Doing my last write up for my certification program. I'm on page 16. I am tired.

He got home from doggy daycare and immediately put himself to bed

I put special lotion for dog paws onto their paws and they're having a conversation about how much they didn't like that

I brought them all the way to the park and now they say it's too hot to play!

What do we think? New terracotta filament from Kexcelled and new Overture green. Making flat prints of leaves to mimic papercraft plants means I can render even more types of plants than before but with plastic durability and 3D printing replicability! I'm maybe a tad obsessed.

Caitlin Austin @caitlinsaustin.bsky.social · 20/06/2025

I bought some more filament after selling so many dollhouse furniture prints last weekend and the dogs are absolutely delighted at all the packing material they have to play with today

Eddie doesn't know WHY Yuuri always stops to sniff certain spots but he's absolutely not going to be left out!

That over 40 health insurance is really something

The doggos were on their best behavior at the vet for their yearly shots. It was almost eerie. Weren't you two just fighting an hour ago? And now you're snuggling on my lap quietly?? I'll take it but I'm suspicious 👀

They both cutely climbed up onto the bed, snuggled up in their blankies, and farted 😑

Caitlin Austin @caitlinsaustin.bsky.social · 16/06/2025

Eddie was too tired to walk home from doggy daycare so I had to carry him. This is becoming a theme

One flaw of having two tiny adorable dogs is that they bully me to go to bed on time

I went to the grocery store without him because it was raining 🤦

Never do my dogs resent me more than when it rains outside. I control the weather, you see, and it's my fault they can't play outside.

Applied for two jobs and took a mental break to design. Today's project: a snake plant. Made a leaf shape with the pen tool in Photoshop then printed them two layers deep in two colors and added them to a printed pot with hot glue and brown pla for dirt. Then, hot water shaping.

Oh great. It rained. Now they both need baths! At least they're happy 🤷

They are snuggling!!! My boys are getting along so well this week!!

Successfully applied for unemployment so I bought myself donuts. Food the only thing I'm allowing myself to buy until I get a new job!

The prime tower fell overnight but the print didn't TECHNICALLY fail. I'm baffled but almost impressed.

Look at those doggie smiles! Something fundamentally changed in their understanding of each other just now. Until I find work, I think we're going to spend a LOT of time here!

Brought Eddie, now 5 months old, to the dog park for the first time. Nobody else was there for the majority of our time there so it was a great first experience for Eddie. I left his drag leash on for safety and... It was miraculous! They played together!

Wire transfer had a fee but cash withdrawal and deposit didn't so I did that at the ATM to move money for my credit card bill and the ATM decided to be funny

Organizing my miniatures and I think this is about 2/3 of my overall collection. I need more boxes
