'Tis the time of the 'tobers! This year I'm once more doing Clocktober, where I commit to writing for a given amount of time each day. This year I'm doing 30 min across the board & focusing solely on Hunger. #HungerStory #turtlewriter #writingchallenge #writesky #ocsky #tober

This is just frustrating. Not just the AI paranoia, but some people's unwillingness to do even the bare minimum of research before accusing someone.

In Hunger it's Ann (she needs a new name) one of Rand's former lovers & Red's best friend. Rand once says about her "She was the most beautiful woman in the room &, he imagined, every room she'd ever been in." Why? 🤷‍♀️ No 1 feature stands out as the basis of #OC #OCprompt #hungerstory #ocqotd

1st things to spring to mind (Red: hitting the gun range, Rand: sex) are year-round. Rand's favorite non-sex activity is camping, but that's harder in fall 🤔 Oh! Rand's would be hiking to view the changing leaves. Red...I have to think about & come back #oc #ocsky #ocqotd #ocprompt #hungerstory

Fun fact, been in this shack & signed the log book almost 40 years ago. (The hike's appx 14 mi & 12 hrs long. Dad thought it was a great idea to try w/ 2 kids under 10, a 16 yr old, no canteens & no flashlights) I wonder what they do with the old log books 🤔

I use nicknames for my cats online. DC is short for demon child, which she was 😅 But her real name was TigerLilly and she was beautiful.

DC was in the 60%. She had some things going for her that in another place & time might have saved her. She had heart disease, not failure. We got her in so fast they'd be able to administer a time sensitive clot-buster that had shown promise in cats. Little branches of hope but when I reached for

One of the (many) things that sucks about FATE is that it often comes from out of the blue. In the vast majority of cases a saddle thrombos is the first indicator the cat even had heart disease at all.

#DCgrief I need to talk a little about Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) the condition that lead to DC's death. In HCM one wall of the heart thickens. Making pumping harder & leaving less room for blood in the chamber. Luckily Most cats w/ HCM will be ok w/ monitoring & meds. But for an unlucky few

I really hate rainbow bridge bullshit. This isn't a dig on anyone who finds it meaningful or uses it to grieve. I'm genuinely glad for them. But for me it's like Hallmark card paper-cut with added salt in the wound & I wish I didn't keep having it shoved at me. OL & DC are not waiting for me on some

She's been home less than 2 hours and she's already forgotten she had surgery 😅 She's supposed to check her urine for stones and clots. Which means I'm going to need to check her urine for stones and clots. 😅 Have a feeling I'm not going to be her favorite person for the next couple weeks.

The best part of caring for someone with Alzheimers is medical stuff. Mom's been doing PT 2 years now, same day & time every week. Still takes multiple reminders the day of to get her dressed & ready. Doesn't remember the exercises & can't count. Today she had kidney surgery. I'm very afraid she's

I'm really happy to see this. I think the work that ProPublica does in the field of investigative reporting is so necessary and was alarmed to learn how they were treating their workers. They, of all groups, should set a better example. Congrats to the ProPublica Guild!

Went too hard @ work out today. In weight training you can either go lower weight & more reps or higher weight but fewer reps. I tend to favor +weight/-reps. Since my 130lbs x 110 rep drop set last time, I wanted to up my weights by a lot, so warmup @ 110, Set2 @ 130. All was fine & dandy until

At the suggestion of my physical therapist, last year I started working w/ a personal trainer. When I told them both my knees hurt going up and down stairs, we started working on my quads, to provide support & stability to my knees. Yesterday I did a drop set* of leg presses. 130 lbs 110 reps 🤯

It always strikes me as weird that you're not supposed to speak ill of the dead, but our libel laws are structured in such a way that you can't speak honestly about people until after they have passed. Also, it's good to be reminded to live your life so that people will not celebrate your passing.

I can imagine that there could be any number of alternate timelines where today a harmless old man died and no one is speaking ill of him. Or even some where a good man is being mourned. He had a thousand chances to make kind choices but chose selfishly, chose harm. And is not worthy of any respect

I love the reaction of cat lovers upon seeing a cat. Every single time the level of excitement is like they've read about cats for decades but never actually seen one in real life and they're SO EXCITED. Every. Single Time. Even if it's the hundredth cat they've seen that day.

If we are specifically in a Denny's parking lot? Rand would probably be fighting Paul, his loud-mouthed asshole of a bowling teammate, likely after a pre/post game meal. As with anywhere else, Red would be fighting a monster. #HungerStory #ocasks #ocsky

This is a cat checkpoint; relinquish your most recent cat picture.
A black & white cat rests in a cat house shaped like a mushroom with a white base and a red and white dotted top. She is facing the back of the house, turned away from the viewer. Her black tail hangs out over the threshold.

Little plug here: if you're a healthy adult between the ages of 18 and 35, why not consider joining a stem cell and bone marrow donor registry? If you do so and are matched with a patient in need, you can save the life of someone with blood cancer.
