Someone was very uninterested in letting me make the bed earlier. Finally live for the first time in almost six months! twitch.tv/microbees_
Goose stares dramatically off to the side while laying under my blanket and refusing to move while I was attempting to make my bed today.

Things have been a lot in my personal life. This week amped things up with the announcement of the end of Destiny and the nonsense announced by USCIS yesterday that's really impacting my coworkers. Been doing some crochet since yesterday to feel a bit more grounded during it all.
A picture of crochet amigurumi pieces. On the left is a prickly pear cactus and on the left is a barrel cactus with a tiny shovel. They are not particularly great, as Bess is still pretty new to crochet. But at least these aren't stuffed wrong side out like the frog.

Someone please talk me out of cancelling class just because Goose is very cuddly and I want to enjoy the cuddles
Goose, the black lab and border collie mix, is curled up over the blankets but clearly up against something (Bees' legs). It's very cute and comfy and warm for both parties.

My phone won't let me see texts before late July 2019, so I lost her address that I need for sending her a post-surgery care package. Just found it using Google Street View, ask me anything 💅

It's so fun having to babysit this "post-doc" who apparently has a PhD in chemistry but doesn't know what a beaker is! Meanwhile, I can't find a full-time job. Cool, cool, cool cool.

Palette cleanser for your doomscrolling 💜
Goose is laying on top of Bees, who is curled up in the fetal position after forgetting to take ibuprofen before the IUD replacement appointment yesterday. Bees' forehead is visible behind Goose's back. The picture is somewhat blurry as the photographer could not see where it was being taken, but it looks as if Goose was the one taking the picture.

After several extremely frustrating days at work dealing with a couple of awful coworkers and their bullshit, I took today off to relax. Or that was the plan. Instead, I stressed out about finding a job and future living plans. Why am I like this 😩

Objective complete! Honestly, 2025 was brutal from start to finish. Ghost did a tarot reading for me in January that can be summed up with "change." I got SO much more than I ever bargained for. There's a lot that I still haven't shared, but I'm hopeful for the life I am trying to build for myself.

Dissertation writing vibes after the drama in the past week
Two stills from the episode Bob's Burgers where Linda's parents come to stay with the Belchers and Bob hides in the walls. The top is Bob holding the Kuchi Kopi night light close to his face and speaking to it "You understand me, don't you, night light?". The second is Bob curled up in the corner of the walls captioned *sobbing*.

Status update: my advisor thought my dissertation was due to my committee next Friday and not this Friday and apparently also just learned that my defense is on the 7th and not the 14th. So we're both doing great.
