A special #caturday for Chester who came home today after spending the past 4 days in ICU. He had a parathyroid tumor removed. Hoping it gives him more time with us.

Chester is making the most of my #RA flare. I’m too tired and too painful to do more than alternate between reading, sleeping and watching basketball. #chronicpain

I read 15 books in January. The one positive to a bad case of the flu with the added bonus of a nasty #RA flare is that you have lots of time to read 💜📚 #booksky #chronicillness

My phone just auto corrected "trauma dumping" to "trauma dumpling," so I painted this in case anyone would like a visual of my mental state. How's everyone else doing?

My story “How Should I Feel?” is a subversive critique of white suburban tradwife culture cloaked in a tale about the future of AI. It's in Cosmic Horror Monthly 52. “My new skin doesn’t fit. It’s too tight around my waist and too loose around my face, and I’m stuck with it for the next six weeks.”
