I was so relieved I took a selfie WHILE the healthcare worker gave me my shot as I sat in my car.

A woman with long hair, sunglasses on, and wearing a mask over her mouth and nose looks down at the camera while a man also wearing a mask and latex gloves stands at her open car window with a immunization visible in his hands.

A sign next to a two lane road with coffee in large text and an arrow under it pointing to the right. Below that smaller text reads people (wouldn’t risk it) and an arrow pointing down the street. The sign is from a small mountain town and the arrow pointing down the street is the direction to the nearest cities

Sheldon from Big Bang Theory knocking on a door and the text reads Lindsey? Lindsey? Lindsey?

This guy’s reaction says it all

Xena, and don’t be misled by the cuteness, she IS a warrior princess.

A fluffy tabby cat is lying on the back of a blue couch. Only her head is visible as she peeks out from under a blue, gray, black, and white striped blanket.

But did he have a stress ball?

DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin is sitting at a testimony table in Congress testifying. He has both hands extended in front of him as he speaks and a light colored ball is clearly visible in his right hand.

That happened to me in Germany. It was stinking hot one morning, I didn’t want hot coffee so I ordered iced coffee:

A glass that looks like a float with soda and ice cream but in reality is coffee, ice cream, and whipped cream.

Yes, I have this sticker

A sticker showing two slices of pepperoni pizza with dripping cheese and the text “some of y’all never read 100 books to earn a personal pan pizza & it shows.”

Best remedy for warm days, a seltzer slushy.

A tall glass half full with a red slushy drink. The glass reads RFP with the state of California in black and a bear superimposed over that. Text at the bottom reads Made in Graeagle.

Waiting for these guys just hanging out on the scaffolding to break out into song.

The scene from Jailhouse Rock in which many men dance and sing on a two level faux jail block that is only two stories high, as opposed to the approximately 6 stories built at the Kennedy Center.

Great thing about Nevada, we have this amazing Basque heritage. It’s pretty unique. Tonight we did a whole tasting of Basque wines (Txakolina, not a typo), a plated meal, and a liquor. So amazing & delicious!

A listing of 8 wines: Xarmant Blanco, Bidaia Rose, Bidiana Blanco, Ameztoi Rubentis, Ameztoi Blanco, Uriondo Blanco, Gorrondona Blanco, Gorrondona Tinto

A plate of food with grilled lamb, chorizo, rice mix, bean salad, and a roll

This Mother’s Day weekend, my daughter took me to get my first tattoo. It’s the lamp of knowledge, an education symbol. An even simpler version is on my college class ring from 1991 and I always thought if I ever got a tattoo, that’d be it. So be it.

A photo of a tattoo which is an Aladdin’s type lamp with flames coming from the nozzle sitting on top of an open book. The tattoo is on a person’s inside wrist.

We actually have fake turf down. I was doubting at first but we’ve had it for years, still looks great; looks like actual grass until you get close

Photo of a small backyard lawn. It is covered with small dried blossoms from a flowering tree and the shadow of a large tree is visible. To the left of the photo, raised beds lined with decorative brick are visible.

All these men lately showing why women pick the bear.

A large brown bear is standing on a railing peering through a glass patio door into a house. Text on the photo says “girl open up there’s a man in the forest.”

When my reaction to the POTUS is tl;dr, that man has problems. I’m certain my attention span is longer than his die hard supporters and yeah …

Screenshot of a text exchange reading: I ain’t reading all that. I’m happy for u tho. Or sorry that happened.

Floof on floof action

A small tabby kitten is curled in the shape of a backwards C. All four paws are curled inward and her head is upside down. She is laying on top of a fluffy white blanket.

Third snow day in a row and I think it might be the coldest! Required both hot tea and a fire.

A large green mug with a dark red beverage inside. A round raised tan badge on the mug has dark print reading “Now serving Snarky Tea hot tea and cold truths.” A hand is holding up the mug and in the background is a red brick fireplace with logs and flames visible in the fireplace and more logs stacked to the left, ready to be burned.

Happy #Caturday! This one is beautiful but there is not one thought behind those eyes 😄

A tabby kitty is lying on her side, one front foot stretched forward toward the camera and her head is stretched toward the camera. Her eyes are open but she’s staring ahead blankly. She is very fluffy especially her belly which looks like a huge pile of cat fluff.

Currently on display in my office:

A sign leaning against a large window with campus buildings in the background. The sign reads, let me drop everything and work on your problem.

Lest anyone think I’m being judgy, I came home to this on the kitchen counter (guess he’s using the microwave; not my first choice).

In the left of the photo is a dinner sized plate covered in a paper towel and filled with browned crumbled sausage. A white slotted spoon leans on the plate. Behind that is a large clear glass bowl filled with cubed Velveeta and RoTel tomatoes poured over the top.

I only commented b/c this is what I’m eating right now so I don’t dive face first into a bag of chips in a few hours.

A varied charcuterie board, with three types of cheese, two meats, olives, fruits, and pickled cauliflower (or ferments, in RFK Jr world)

Pretty sure these guys never even notice I’m gone. They seem pleasantly surprised when I come back.

One tabby kitten is poking her head out of a hole in a green cat condo. A second tabby kitten is standing in front and to the right of the hole, looking at the first kitten like she would like her to move.

Darn. Chappell Roan stole my look for class this week. Guess I’ll just wear a blazer. Oh, and pants. And a shirt.

Chappell Roan on the Grammy’s red carpet. She is wearing a dress that is a very sheer lightweight red fabric that is hanging from her nipple and draped behind her. She has dark red panties on that are visible through the material. To be clear, she is topless except for material
that appears to be hanging from nipple rings.

It’s amazing people voted to redo all this but MAKE IT WORSE.

Screenshot of a Facebook post I made 9 years ago that reads, “so, did I miss anything crucial while flying cross-country? Are we at war with anyone? Outlaw any religions yet? Any new gag orders? Martial law imposed in any major metropolitan areas? Just checking in b/c you never can know anymore …”

Just #kittens, warming themselves & studying the fire #catsofBlueSky

Two tabby kittens sit in front of a fire in a fireplace. The logs in the grate have big flames and both kittens are staring into the fireplaces.

Happy #Caturday to those who celebrate from a sleepy kitten

Just the head of a tiny tabby kitten is visible, head tilted down and eyes closed. She is completely encircled by a white fluffy blanket.
