Always fun to see a friend in the bookstore. I love @seananmcguire.bsky.social and everything she writes FUN FACT: two of the titles on these shelves are in whole or in part dedicated to me 😍

Psst! @natecrowder.bsky.social I have made it to Hatch Cantina and this margarita is worth finding parking in Belltown

Widget isn't sure how he feels about being the only dog on this deck but he is certain the other people aren't nearly enamored enough of his cuteness

I enjoy the company of my human coauthor, but this guy's brand of encouragement really can't be beat.

Today is a work day but it's also a lake day. I am alone on the boat all day and into the evening. Goal is mild sunburn only & 2500 words. LFG.

I love them.

It rained on the parade today but you need the rain to make a rainbow, so we persisted.

I believe @mattfnwallace.bsky.social is the person to whom I owe this picture. Finally remembered to get a shot of Widget in his Batman backpack. He very much enjoyed our trip to Ulta.

Ooh. I am going to have to see if there's any in my current closet season. Definitely going to wear my Valentino heels that happen to have a cameo in the first movie (not the exact pair, obviously)

Sometimes you get to sing in a huge arena & get your face on the jumbotron. Those times are good times. Throwback to @ratcityrollerderby.com at Key Arena.

The human child doesn't like their picture on Social Media, so I show you the baby doggy instead. Trust they're both paying rapt attention to the Integrity return stream.

Last night I pulled out of a beetle-sized parking space and this morning I was unsurprised to find it still available. Tiny car FTW! And today came with the bonus of putting the top down. Day 4 of Norwescon, lfg

Sometimes I use my TikTok for Good....

I only stood up for a *moment* but when I came back to my seat, this is what I found. He's 13, so he gets to nap wherever he pleases; I'm going to have to read the next chapter someplace else.... In related news: this book is great & you should preorder it (out April 7)!

Update: my dog is home and snoring at my feet as is appropriate. Also the vet came out to tell my partner that Toggle was the Best Boy all day in the back, was no trouble medically, and liked the heated blanket in recovery (we knew that last one already 😂).

Sir Toggle had to have a tooth pulled this morning (he's 13 & on a prescription diet so no dental treats) and I just want him home so I can pet him. But also we have to limit his food tonight and he's going to be sad about that- so I'm sad about that.
