$94.41 for 16.566 gallons of regular, unleaded gas. I took this picture on Monday, September 14, 2026 at 11:14AM PST. Costco was only $0.11 cents cheaper and further away, so I filled up at the closest, “cheapest” station.

Every day is Caturday when you have cats. IYKYK.

My beautiful Tortie cat, Lydia, sitting on s pillow, as close as she will allow. This one has lots of Tortie-tude.

Despite feeling hollow, what with all the news and the deaths of Dolly and Tim Currry, it’s Dog Day. So, here’s a picture of our pup we got at ten weeks from a rescue. She’s 16 months now and HUGE.

I pulled the last of my peas, newest cukes, a few strawberries, and cherry tomatoes from my little garden this weekend.

Gardening as hope and resistance. I’m aware it’s not new. Here’s my little garden anyway.

There’s corn hole, beer, and cheese for purchase at the gate, too. It’s been real, Wisconsin.

I just missed #caturday. Here’s a recent pic of my sweet boy enjoying the sun after three days of rain and gloom.

Pearl Harbor memorial makes me cry every time. Some of the tourists piss me off, TBH. Some don’t seem to understand it’s the scene of a MCE (mass casualty event). Many wouldn’t look my husband in the eye the day we were there.

@lodgecastiron.bsky.social I just used some VERY diluted soapy, hot water on our Lodge cast iron pan and my husband crashed out. I’m talking full on STEMI or stroke. Please help me explain that I have not ruined it. Picture for proof of life. Thank you!

The US is burning down, but we got a puppy from a rescue anyway. More love, tenderness, and care can’t hurt, right? And, you guys…she’s so sweet. I’m a cat person but this girly here is adorable. (Yes, she has a hot spot that’s being taken care of w/vet care.)

Sweet, cream colored puppy, approximately ten weeks old, with brown eyes and black nose, and a hot spot that is being treated by vet direction and medication.

A perfect example of one of the many reasons why Cybertruck drivers suck donkey balls in their stupid-ass traveling dumpsters.

A Cybertruck parked nearly perpendicular to the parking lines, taking up extra space, and generally being a selfish asshat with limited awareness or care for surroundings or others. See also: Tesla CEO.

It’s not caturday, but then again, every day is caturday for me. #catsofbluesky #cats

This guy has been helping me with something similar. He’s the best medicine along with steroids and a duo-neb.

The one on the left is Amos. He’s been keeping me company while I am sick. He’s the family emotional support kitty. He’s besties w/our daughter. Lydia, on the right, has a lot of anxiety and will let you know when her boundaries have been crossed. She and I are very similar.

I just harvested some avocados from the tree I brought back from the brink a few years ago. I wasn’t sure it would produce again. #gardening

28 is great! To be honest, have been a ROUGH few months and I’ve considered a drink or edible more than I have in years. BUT, I refuse to turn back. I’m not willing to give up my life, my family, friends, and amazing work and clients. They deserve the best of me, despite the current shit storm.

My best friend died one year ago today at the age of 46 due to colorectal cancer. I was able to be there her final week; I’m grateful for that opportunity to accompany her out of this earthly plane. She was a light in my world. I miss her so damn much.

Dear JCAHO, I’m unable to access my computer due to my cat taking my desk chair, so I am behind on charting. It’s also raining out, so I had to take a nap. Thank you for understanding and your patience.

Grief and trauma do that. Take care of yourself, Dr. You can’t care for others if you’re not well. Be gentle with yourself. You and your work matter.

Lydia is having none of the post-Jan. 20 malarkey, but she wishes you a good night.

I’m on the other side of the country; have friends inside the beltline and in various civil servant positions. I’m sending you all lots of love, hugs, good vibes, prayers, positive energy, anything I can muster for you all. Oh, and I’m making my five calls.
