I called my dad to tell him about Dungeon Crawler Carl, by Matt Dinniman My dad's name is Carl. When I was a kid, we had a cat named Donut. She was a fat grey tortoiseshell, but Donut all the same.

Photo shows Dungeon Crawler Carl, by Matt Dinniman, book one, with its eye-searing yellow and pink title on a black background, a tiny Carl running along with a tinier Donut the cat in a pointy mouth-looking scraggle. I just noticed it is, in fact, a mouth because there's an eyeball in the A of Carl. The book is lying on the green grass and there's a small yellow flower nearby.

Got a cute tumbler from Scholastic! So I decided to put some GreenMan Yam and Mixed Cereal in it and just drink it with a straw 😅 IT'S REALLY GOOD. I don't know what the writing says but there's English on the back so I read that before paying like $5 for a giant bag a while back.

A white metal tumbler with NEXT and Scholastic on it in purple. There's a green boba straw sticking out of the cup.
Next to it is a purple bag of GreenMax Yam and Mixed Cereal packet.

Just a little longer! The last of the paperwork went through!! So now I hang on until he gets paid.

A giant happy crying emoji with hearts all around it. It's a splice of the crying emoji, the watery eyed happy emoji, and I guess the sparkle heart.

I was able to get some fresh fruit! And cheese! Strawberries and grapes were on sale. Devoured some grapes because it's been an absurdly long time since I've had fruit w cheese I also was able to get some cocoa powder to make chocolate cookies my kid wants to try. 🥹 Thank you all for your kindness 💖

This is Molly, my 14yo cat, in her new box! I crocheted the blanket. She's a greyish brown stripey cat with a white bib and the cutest little white fingers and toes. She's keeping me hanging in there. Purring constantly. I'm having a bad time. Finances are awful. I just want to be comfortable.

Teen drew me a Mother's Day card! I got permission to post it. It features our cats (Kaiju w spots, Pumpkin loaf, Molly w food pile), plus a gecko screaming, a shrimp, and am African Dwarf frog. The back has Kaiju (stinky poopoo boy) and a giant drawing of Luffy's face!

A giant lime with a hat, a huge smile, and 2 fingers and a thumb on each hand.
Animals from bottom left going clockwise:
Kaiju, a stinky cow cat with impossibly point feet.
A splayed out African Dwarf frog.
A screaming gecko.
A shrimp.
A fat yellow cat loafing about. Her name is Pumpkin.
A grey tabby with a white bib named Molly. She's staring at a massive pile of food because she's fat. She's also 14 years old.

A large portrait of Luffy from One Piece takes up 3/4 of the page. He's smiling righteously. Luffy is so round he's hard to draw!
Bottom of the paper has a big loafing cat Kaiju with the caption "stinky poopoo boy" and an arrow pointing at him. He has stink lines and flies. One of the flies is dead because he stinks so bad. He really doesn't stink in real life but he looks like he just crawled out of a trash can.

Kaiju is very photogenic if anyone wants to draw him. He's just a BOY 💖💖

Black and white cow cat named Kaiju. He's 4 years old. He has a little black nose that loves boops and he also likes to scream until you pick him up and hold him like a baby. Here he's cuddled in a vibrant handmade quilt with pink, like green, bright eye-searing blue, white, and some floral panels. The florals are maroon and dark green.

Manga March! I'm gonna TRY to post a manga a day! First up is Café Kichijouji-de! It features a wild slice of life of a bunch of dudes who work at a cafe. Each guy personifies a common trope. Superstrong Babyface. Playboy. Stoic rule-follower. Himbo in poverty. Emo dude. It's one of my favorites!

3 volumes of the manga Cafe Kichijouji-de. Each one features 5 men on the cover with brown vests and pants, cream colored aprons, red ribbons, black shoes. There's also a black cat. The dudes are white. The publisher was Digital Manga Publishing.

Sometimes a customer just wants to read yaoi and yuri. We've got Worst Soulmate Ever, which is omegaverse fated mates. She Loves to Cook and She Loves to Eat. Wholesome lesbian manga. It's actual yuri. CW there's a conversation about food insecurity with some flashback panels.

Top manga is She Loves to Cook and She Loves to Eat vol 1. Features 2 women: left s tall, bigger, holding a steaming beverage and a late piled high with pancakes. She's tall and wearing grey sweats. Right is a slender woman holding a pan with an omelette. She's shorter and wearing a long A line skirt and white blouse.
Bottom manga are Worst Soulmate Ever 1 and 2. 1 has blond Omega looking mad that the black-haired Alpha is there. Blushing expressions of desperation. The right manga is vol 2. Omega has a bouquet of flowers and the Alpha is holding him. They look triumphant. They're married. It's not a spoiler. It's a convention of the genre.
