They warned me when I paid for the feeding, but I was not prepared 😂

Road trip stop, Center for Puppetry Arts. Did I cry when I saw Big Bird? Yes. Did I let out a ridiculous screech when I saw Salem? Also yes.

Ended up driving through the Smokey Mountains around sunset. Might be the prettiest drive I've ever done

Currently road tripping south, so we made a pitstop to pay our respects 🦋🎶

I had this beauty in sage green. Bought it solely so I could RP on LJ when I was away from my computer. So many cringe moments brought into existence by this phone.

FB so kindly reminded me it's been a year, so now I'm looking at photos of Mindy and crying at my desk, because goddamn do I miss my little shoulder cat.

oh, no big deal, just the Artemis II crew casually showing us the iPhone photos they're taking of the moon like any other tourists

Okay but how did I miss the little Artemis plush behind the Capcom until just now? 😭

The other wild part of this trip is that it was 2012, which was before Elon ruined SpaceX so I got to see a Dragon capsule prototype AND ThinkGeek lent me their Astronaut Timmy mascot to take along for photo ops

Fun fact: my husband proposed to me at Kennedy Space Center, in the rocket garden, the day after I spent two whole days doing credentialed social media coverage for the Atlantis shuttle move from the VAB to the KSC Visitor's Center.

This is a 🐈‍⬛ checkpoint! Show me your most recent cat image on your phone! That little yellow plastic ring toy is the most sought-after item in our house. It is also the most frequently lost, which is why we have backups in multiple colors.

So, we got ourselves a late Christmas gift. Meet Toby and Charlie, who have been with us for a week now and who still are not 100% sure about this whole thing but we're doing okay so far.

Told my brainweasles to fuck off today so I could go to the Babymetal show. So glad I did, even though it started to downpour at the end and I'm absolutely soaked.

We're not ready to add another furry friend quite yet (and we're probably going to get a dog first) but this shelter has the best cat names. Meet Toytathon, Cheesy Rollup, Catnip Everdeen, and Go Gurt.

(tw: pet death) Finally got Mindy's ashes back from the vet, so now all three of our girls are together again. Commissioned a friend to make me a frame for their collars and I'm looking to find a local woodworker to make a custom urn w/ space for all three of them + one photo I have of them together

BUT, in a twist of fate, the barge that the removal company floated in to remove the boat has ALSO gotten stuck. So for now, The Minnow lives on.

There is literally artwork and merch for The Minnow now, including t-shirts and a bobblehead. Milwaukee local social media is full of near-daily updates on the boat, documenting the changing graffiti and the continued attempts to remove the boat

At this point, it's been stripped of anything valuable and covered in graffiti, but it's also become a weird sort of community icon. Even the graffiti on it has been local--from the slogan for Wolski's (a legendary bar whose stickers grace street poles and bumpers worldwide) to our local TV lawyer

In an attempt to not have my entire feed be sad posts about my cat...let me introduce you to my city's current obsession: an abandoned boat. Nicknamed "The Minnow" by the local press, the boat ran aground in mid-October in Milwaukee, near Bradford Beach in Milwaukee.

This little monster. She's been barely eating for the last few days, won't do more than sniff at her expensive wet food. Given her health, this is Not Good. Desperate for her to eat anything, I put out a can of Fancy Feast and she DESTROYED it in ten minutes.

Mindy is doing well. Still navigating her new normal but she's taking her meds like a champ and very much seeking us out for cuddles.

We're home now, all squared away with new meds and follow up appointments. Her eyes already look better than yesterday, though we won't know if the damage is permanent for a while yet. Until then, we cherish the time we have and give all the snuggles.
