Mentioned to the anesthesiologist before my endoscopy that I have EDS, and he perked up. "You have the stretchy skin?" So I tugged on my face a little and he got SO excited. "That's so cool! You hear about it but never see it in the wild!"

Kicking off 2026 with a gastric emptying study and an upper endoscopy on the books, so that's cool I guess. Love to have chronic conditions that cause additional chronic conditions!

Nearly 10 years into our marriage, and tonight my husband tells me the reason he agreed to the wedding date I picked is because it's the day Charlie Bucket went to the chocolate factory. I've never laughed so hard in my life.

My contributor's copy of Fraidy Cat Quarterly arrived, and since it includes my niche dahlia horror story "Seymour's Sensation," I figured I had to do a dahlia photoshoot while they're still in bloom. 😄 Many thanks to Robert and Lillian @fraidycatpress.bsky.social for believing in this story!

Working from the garage while giving yet another hen a bath. This one had flystrike (my first time dealing with it), but she seems to be recovering remarkably well. Lucky I caught it early, and I can tell she's feeling better because she fought me on the soak today!

My husband's metal band released their new EP "The Lepidopterists" this week, a cosmic concept album about a cult summoning a giant moth to destroy the earth. I've been listening to them practice these songs in our garage for two years now, so it's really cool to finally hear it all recorded!

Spent the weekend edging various garden beds, which always elicits a good laugh from whomever I'm telling about it. (Jokes aside, I do think it's looking nice.) #bloomsky

A perennial cottage garden bed bordered by logs. Irises and foxgloves are blooming in the bed, with a handful of rose plants budding out. A hops plant is climbing the fence behind the garden. A corgi is walking by the garden bed.

A sea of Concertina bearded irises crowding my garden. I love their delicate shell-pink color. Iris season is just kicking off, more to come! #bloomsky
