Happy fifty-sixth day of summer to all who celebrate. This is a sunflower that showed up in my dahlia garden. I didn't plant it and have no idea how it got here. Gardening, like life, is full of surprises. I've chosen to embrace this surprise and enjoy its beauty. #sunflower #KrollManor 🌻 🌱

Sh*t. Brother-in-law, sister-in-law, and their pups are in a Tornado Warning right now. Was listening to Max Velocity and heard their town mentioned over and over. Numbers didn't transfer to the new phone and husband still at work. Don't want to worry MIL if she doesn't know yet. #AlabamaWx

All hail Larry Purrsmore, the Spy with Nine Lives! 🥰 This former feral #cat helped wrangle Mouse and Bleu when they bolted, then chased A COYOTE when it came near while I worked! Was shocked. Puffed himself up and ran it off the ranch. Then ran to me to let him in the garage, lol. Brave, silly boy.

Don't know how I've managed to avoid every single #Eurovision song this year. I'm usually on a metaphorical Eurovision IV drip by now. It started by accident then became a challenge once I'd realized - a challenge I'm sticking to so far. Almost want to listen to a few but I'll hold strong! I hope.

Just out of the shower. Pondering. Is any of this real, or just a comedy bit that’s gotten out of hand? A Family Guy gag that started okay but ran too long? Have we been Truman Show’ed? Is this a snow globe? A glitch in the Matrix? A pigeon? 🦋🤔 I should wear more sweaters.

I'm so glad I got over my bug a whole 24 hours before I managed to badly hurt my foot and ankle. The universe just does not want me going anywhere or doing anything, does it? Literally all I did was stand up out of a chair and poof. Collapse! Almost smashed my head but thankfully Alan was there. 😮‍💨

Missed the end of #GeneralHospital because the vet called. Way earlier than I thought. Bad news: Maddie has Cushing's. 😔 Unfortunately the test could not differentiate which type as it usually can, so we have to do some ultrasounds which may require a trip two hours (one way) away. Exhausted. Sad.

The next time you feel any guilt or anxiety for having to cancel a therapy appointment last minute, just know there is probably someone out there who needs one last minute and might just take the chance to call and find out. So glad I took the chance to find out today! #mentalhealth #selfcare #life

Worried about Cooper. 😢 He’s been bleeding but the vet is worried the trip to them (and worse, further to Tucson if later) might stress him more and tear bigger spots around his stitches. Now he’s acting off but is also super drugged so hopefully it isn’t his diabetes, too. #dog #FCancer #life

A SLAP! YES! And a great soap slap. Soaps need more slaps these days, for sure. Yay! #BeyondTheGates! :D Like how did Joss NOT slap Willow at the hospital that day?! How has Kristina not double-slapped anyone?! Ava? Come on, #GH! Get slapping! Ahem, I mean. GH TIME now! 🥰

BOO! Neither my #BeyondTheGates nor my usual #GeneralHospital alarms went off?! What the heck! Missed the first six minutes of #BTG now. ARGH! But like, WHOA what a spot to tune into. You go, Tamara Tunie! (My original plan was to have #GH on one screen and Gates on the other. 😅)

A stitch of stress was thrown my way but don't want to let it get to me, so here's a #coyote taking a break from drinking out of the wash, instead! Wanted a newer photo but my cloud backup is quite stormy, so here's one from late fall, IIRC. (Grass seems too dry to be monsoon?) #Arizona #Wildlife

I like #soaps because they make my family seem normal. No one has tried to control the weather in my family. No one has thrown someone else down a well in my family. ...Well. *thinks* ...No. The twins are still young so not sure on the "evil" yet. Lots of curses, though. LOTS. Crazy secrets, too.

Well, Cooper has cancer, so ... yeah. Changed out his diabetes tests for the pre-op and operations and all that. His surgery is scheduled just days before Maddie's next cancer test, too. Ugh. If this is the only cancerous tumor it might be early enough, but if his other masses aren't just fatty.. 😢

Oh, good. It's 5am, not 4am like I thought. /s I've gotten even LESS sleep. Still dehydrated. Still drinking. Still having to then run because DRINKING INSANE AMOUNT OF LIQUIDS. 4 hours and 15 minutes of sleep so far last night. Not ideal. Appointment is at 10:30 but I need to leave at 9:30. Boo.

Slept a couple hours but need more to be able to get to 100% can't miss appointment later. Woke up because I felt so incredibly dehydrated. Drank some Gatorade. Still felt dehydrated. Drank more Gatorade. And more. 3 Bottles, Plus 1 Seltzer. Still dehydrated! 😶 And now can't sleep because... 😰

Hopefully the petition gets enough attention to show how badly emergency vet services are needed here. There is not a single 24/7 vet in any of Cochise County - a county the size of Connecticut and Rhode Island combined. (Also need a wildlife rescue, but that's another story.) chng.it/DkdrQMmjD9

Little Zoe dog passed away from cancer three years ago and I had her old coats still tucked away in the closet. Surprised I’d never tried to put one on the #cats until now! Her winter jacket is a little big for Larry and Mouse, but they still both took turns enjoying its warmth. 🤗 #cat #neko #gato

#GoodMorning, Everybody! ☀️ Another day, another adventure with a #cat in a backpack! She didn’t even finish eating breakfast but heaven forbid I left without her. Ran right in the catpack when she saw me go to the door. Ok, Bleu! We can do a short one. 🥰 So, where to today? 🤔

Always fun to read Reddit posts that mimic things that have happened in our own lives, to the point that I wonder, "Did so and so write this one?" But then everyone in the comments writes, "Obviously AI. So fake. Just for Karma. People aren't like this. This doesn't happen." ☠️

She was being a good girl and I had to check the tanks and feeders, so Bleu came on a little hike with me! 🤗 Of course, it wasn’t enough. It is NEVER enough! Refused to get out after. Even tried to close the door herself when I wouldn’t do it for her. She got my finger, too! No violence, Bleu! #cat

Cooper barked me awake two hours ago, for I dared to have a flare-up and thus pass out early before I'd given them their after dinner Minties. 🤦‍♀️ Doesn't matter if Alan gives them the dang dental bones - it just does NOT tick whatever must-do the dogs have unless they get the damn Minties from me. 🤷‍♀️

I am such a freaking sucker. She waits in the backpack and I melt. And I thought she just loved it because she goes outside in it, but she is happy just to chill there while I work on almost anything. Ok, Bleu. You can help me clean the litter and garage then hike around for garbage. #kitty #cat
