My daily obnoxious bump - I'm 1/3 of the way there, thanks to you amazing people. Would you be so kind as to share? Thank you!

Castiel versus the Sea Beast
A silver and white toy Schnauzer stands on a red ottoman with a stuffed octopus toy on his back. He has one of the tentacles in his mouth.

My hubby gave it a shot - guessed the right answer dead last. I guess I haven’t told him enough of my stories… 😂

Castiel’s favorite game is “What happens if I dangle this toy? Oops! Now how did it get down there?” The fun part is making mama keep retrieving the toy.

So… is the veil just ridiculously thin lately or is it me?

ShellPaw @shellpaw.bsky.social · 06/03/2026
Is the veil thin or are our current spirit guests especially excitable? We are having multiple experiences every day lately. The flashiest today is when my hubby’s thermos started rocking (hard!) on the counter for a good dozen seconds when there was no earthquake.

I FINALLY saw the ghost cat in the house that everyone else has seen. It looks like the “extra cat” we had at the last house. I suspect it’s Midnight, my rescue cats’ brother. Gonna have to ask the shelter if they know if he’s passed.

It’s 4am. There are moose outside the bedroom window. My little Schnauzer has been singing the songs of his people in warning for about 40 minutes now…

The knee I bashed is covered in skin graft so it’s very complicated when it comes to healing. Today I met with a wound care team I will be seeing 2x a week. It was fun. After 40+ years of taking care of my own wound care, they are the closest thing I have to colleagues.

Moose whoopsie!
Tracks are seen clearly on the slushy snow on the ice of a frozen ditch and they betray that an earlier moose crossed but slid with two hooves.

Second trip to the ER this week. The good news is we caught the cellulitis before it became systemic. Woot.

I left my winter hat in the car. My hubby was running errands and stuck it on his head so he’d remember to bring it in. But then he forgot about it and went grocery shopping. 😊
