Matty and Stef at Riot Fest waiting for Panic Shack to go on. Matty has purple hair and an I love Riot Fest shirt with John Stamos. Stef is wearing a sheer spiderweb shirt.

Found a canister for my protein powder that actually fits my house. I love shopping for everyday stuff when all the spooky/stuff is out. It’s way easier to find skulls, bats, and ravens!

A white ceramic canister with a black lid, covered in a black bat silhouette pattern. The lid has a small bat figure on top with painted white wing details and orange eyes, sitting on a kitchen counter.

Boss is upset that he can’t add an appointment to the schedule of someone who is out of office that day. I really can’t sometimes.

My boss was complaining that her phone hasn’t been working right. I took a look at it at her request. She had 590 browser tabs open, among other issues. I just really can’t sometimes.

Did I buy myself a skull hoodie in the boys department? Yes I did. I will not be taking any questions.

Selfie in a car of a woman with dark hair with blue streaks, wearing purple cat-eye glasses and a crescent moon pendant necklace. She’s wearing a gray zip-up hoodie covered in a black skull and crossbones print, worn open over a black top. Neutral, deadpan expression.

Cleaning the house and decided to take a break. This is how I chose to sit down. Cool cool, this is definitely why my hips hate me and not a medical mystery at all. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Overhead view of a person sitting on a brown leather couch with one leg propped up along the couch arm, foot resting near a low wooden coffee table stacked with card games including Cards Against Humanity-style boxes, Zombie Kittens, and Poetry for Neanderthals. A patterned area rug and carpet are visible around the table.

4 years smoke-free today. 20+ years of smoking cigarettes before that. Still weird that my hands don’t know what to do sometimes but here we are.

Truly bad day at work. Then @matty.wtf shows up at my house unexpectedly with a bunch of my favorite candy. I adore this guy.

Flat lay of the candy Matty brought: Skor, 100 Grand, Reese’s peanut butter cups, and Sour Patch Kids on a wood table, with books, a crocheted cat in bisexual-flag colors, and a purple foam cat-shaped dish that my daughter made holding the earrings I wore at for the backyard wedding last year.

I would say exactly the same about the fabulous @matty.wtf. Here’s to the first of many more amazing years. In this chaotic, messed up, frustrating world it’s so lovely to have this kind of happiness together.

The basement gym isn’t particularly well lit, but there can still be a rest break selfie

Stef rests between weightlifting sets in a dimly lit basement, looking directly at the camera with a focused, slightly serious expression. She wears purple-framed glasses, a burgundy sleeveless workout top, and a smartwatch, with one arm resting across the other. Black tattoos on the visible arm include a goth-style pinup girl, a cat sitting on a crescent moon surrounded by stars, and several small stars near the shoulder. Behind them is a black-and-white mural of skeletons surrounded by plants, creating a moody, gothic backdrop.

Currently at the gas station listening to someone’s Jesus hip-hop because apparently we all made that choice together. One lyric was, “My bible is a weapon, every page is a sword.” Bold strategy. I just hope nobody gets a paper cut.

Nothing like proudly hurrying onto the dance floor for the anniversary dance at my nephew’s wedding knowing our own first anniversary isn’t until later this month, so we’re basically guaranteed to be the first ones sent packing. 😂 We went anyway.

Finally got a haircut and some fresh blue! Cut off several inches!

Selfie taken in a car. I’m wearing pale purple sunglasses, a black T-shirt, and a small pendant necklace. My hair is newly cut into a shorter layered bob, black with vivid blue pieces showing through the sides. Sunlight is hitting one side of the photo, and the car interior is softly blurred in the background

Today’s work call: a man furious we wouldn’t dispatch a tech to his house. Turns out he didn’t know his own address, his wife “handles that kind of stuff.” Buddy if you don’t know where you live, that’s not on us.

I cannot personally explain what any of this means, but I can confirm Matty is very smart and very good at explaining it to people who do. Check this out.

My daughter is home from college, so we hit the local record shop and walked the downtown car show this evening. Records, classic cars, and a little mother-daughter wandering makes for a pretty perfect little downtown evening.

The Social Distortion album – Born to Kill hangs on a wall on a white “NOW PLAYING” shelf. The cover features a roaring leopard in bold black, orange, yellow, and hot pink artwork, with small string lights glowing around it.

@matty.wtf and I are back to lifting the heavy circles. Had to dial the weight back while we got our form back in check. Turns out I can still squat 75 lbs, which honestly feels pretty good for someone who took some time off and is decidedly 47 years old. And yes, my setup comes with skeletons.

Home gym corner with a loaded barbell on a rack and a large black and white poster of two skeletons embracing among flowers hanging on a painted cinder block wall. A small basement window lets in natural light above the poster.

Another day in the office. At least it’s Thursday and we’re seeing Panic Shack tonight. I’m a sucker for an all-girl punk band.

Selfie of Stef. She has short black wavy hair with blue ends, purple cat-eye glasses, a small hoop nose ring, a silver chain necklace, a black top, and a gray plaid flannel. She’s standing in front of a brick wall.

Every once in a while I throw on Pete Yorn’s “music forthemorningafter” and remember what a great album it is!

Been quiet on here lately. Life is busy and more stressful than I would like, but we are pushing through. Loving the Roost app though, it’s fun sending slow-cial media messages via bird. I’ve given all my birds music-themed names, like a cardinal called Pretty Fly for a Red Guy.

Life has been busy and a lot lately, but it’s Caturday, so here’s Charlie reminding us that rest is also an agenda.

Charlie, a tuxedo cat, is curled up asleep on a black-and-white patterned blanket. Sunlight is shining across her back, making her fur look glossy.

A manager who doesn’t know how to use AI used it to research what his employee should be paid. The AI told him to fire the employee for not completing a project. He then used the same AI comp data to justify a $1.50 raise. The project stalled because his own son killed it. This is not hypothetical

I can’t watch tv because my daughter (who is just home from college) is blasting Noah Kahan and singing at the top of her lungs from the shower. It’s both annoying and awesome. Life is rarely one thing.

Got a hot drink at Peet’s Coffee today and it came with one of those little stoppers. Back when the kids were little, I used to ask for an extra so they could sword fight with them in the backseat. Funny the things that stick.

Cody sits up like a person when he wants a belly rub. It’s very effective.

A tricolor Australian Shepherd named Cody sits upright like a person on a dark leather couch, back supported by the cushions, front paws bent at the wrists and held loosely in front of his chest. He looks up with soft, expressive eyes, his white facial stripe and fluffy brown, black, and white fur clearly visible, giving him a relaxed, almost human-like pose.
