I still like watching clips of corgis but now my attention is drawn to the serious toys they have. Rocket is a super chewer and I’m on the lookout for stuffed toys he can’t savage.

Rocket was feeling a little poorly this morning and didn’t eat his breakfast but he seems to have made a comeback. He consumed his dinner, nearly tore off a tentacle on his chew octopus, and is now napping.

Got my license renewed and the address on my son’s id changed. My glasses are in production so once everything arrives in the mail, I can do the final step which is fixing the car. It will be nice to be mobile again.

Finally found the box where my dvds were hiding. It’s a great sense of relief because I have a lot of films and didn’t feel like doing a hunt for mass replacement. 😮‍💨

Since Rocket is still a relatively young dog, I’m supposed to encourage naps. I was hoping to take one with him this morning, but he’s sleeping on the couch blanket and taking up most of the room. 😐

Hi-diddley-ho, neighborinos! Out and about today? Have you found yourself somewhere around middle Virginia, enjoying the autumnal weather or attending Staunton's Mischief and Magic festival? Just headed to grab a bite at the Litigious Beaver Shrine?

Add an anecdote if you can, and finish with saying that you do not want the public facing museum to close. Send to tw958@drexel.edu We heard FROM HER that this is important. Now get typing!!

If you care about keeping the Academy of Natural Sciences open to the public in Philadelphia, I need you to read and share this thread. Trish Wellenbach was sent from the mayor's office to oversee the Academy of Natural sciences situation. She needs to hear from us. Here comes the action item:

We have *six days* left until the Academy of Natural Sciences, North America's oldest Natural History museum, is scheduled to close it's doors. Here are *six reasons* why we cannot - and will not- let that happen.

Have found a great fondness for Banana Ball. There’s quite a few games on YouTube and it’s joyful. It’s also short, which is a big plus when talking about baseball.

The Emma Frost x Miss Piggy comic has hit the internet and it's so, so, so much more magnificent than I ever could have hoped for

Emma Frost: "Emma Frost, darling. I'm a telepath. May I read your mind to ascertain if you're telling the truth?"

Miss Piggy: "But of course, darling I am an open book, a tell-all memoir."

Emma Frost telepathically witnessing the entirety of Miss Piggy's life.

Wolverine: "Frost? She legit?"
Emma Frost: "She's..She's... She's everything. And I would die for her."

Post-vaccine day: urrgh. My arm is still a little sore (after three shots, who knew?), but I wasn’t able to sleep properly last night so I’m feeling quite awful today. Mostly, it feels like my body is made of lead and it’s hard to move. Just going to take it easy and hope tomorrow’s better.
