Bostonian,now living in Vegas. I’m much happier. 2x cancer survivor, cerebral palsy, neuropathy. East coast sarcastic/smartass but I try to be the best version of myself possible. Archie the pug’s mom
My Saturday night choices look drastically different than they did a few years ago
I have blood tests on Wednesday so I am very much on the wagon but when a 12 pack of this appears at my local Walmart, I buy it! Three guesses what I will be having Wednesday afternoon.
Thanks for being my accountability partners today! 2 loads of laundry done and put away, water moved to the kitchen, picked up all of Archie’s stuff and ran the robot vacuum through the whole apartment. Rinsed the patio and put down fresh pee pads for A. I’m gonna go make lunch now.
What are you doing today Kris? Well, see that purple bag. That is laundry. She’s sitting there taunting me so I’ll hurry up and finish my coffee and drag it down the hall. See also the 1/2 case of water bottles I have to move to the kitchen (This post is to provide me motivation to get off my ass)
A friend went to the local farm stand this morning and got me some tomatoes. I already ate one. Guess what’s for second breakfast?😁
Everybody please say Happy Birthday to Archie! He is 5 today! Favorites: cheese, popcorn, bully sticks, people in general, and physically touching me every moment of every day Dislikes: Other dogs, getting his nails clipped, getting his ears cleaned and his “nemesis bird” Happy Birthday Archie!
Crappy phone camera but the bunny is bolder these days. This is about a foot from my patio wall. Yes it’s 5:30 am here
Blood draw treats! 4 cookies 2x walnut chocolate chip and 2x Oatmeal raisin, 2 mini cupcakes (raspberry lemonade with icebox lemonade) The frosting melted on the scootering back but eh. And a loaf of garlic parm sourdough. Not pictured I guessed this month’s mystery cupcake (ambrosia) and ate it!
This poor guy had to spend the morning in his crate while I did a laundry and ran Norman (robot vac) so now he’s asleep between my feet with his bone, a lamby, “Piñata” (all of his toys are literal statements as to what they are) and his keys
I have decided that I must have a secret “pug charging station” somewhere in my ankle/heel area because I cannot stand in the kitchen for longer than 2 minutes before Archie “plugs himself in” like this.(sorry for my feet folks but neuropathy sucks)
An actual steak, frozen scalloped potatoes and a real non frozen vegetable (my love for asparagus knows no bounds) still with a bite to it
Just posting this for photographic proof that I did in fact get 2 fried eggs out of the pan without breaking the yolks in 2026.
Why, yes I did make strawberry jam/compote from scratch with strawberries I got from the food pantry. I should’ve let it go a bit longer but I was SURE I was going to burn it. I’ve tasted it and it’s PERFECT. Thanks for the help @illiniandramsalum.bsky.social !
That’s the Sox game behind this fat pug head. In the immortal words of Kathie Anderson (my mom) “You make a better door than a window.”
If anyone is wondering why a person would choose to move to the desert, the answer is days like today. I’m currently sitting outside in the sun and is is absolutely glorious.
Opening Day is a day for a beer. I bought a Fosters. I would have bought hot dogs too but while my tastebuds still love them my stomach does not
Good morning! I haven’t gone out early to look for bunnies in a while. This one was about a foot away from my patio (yes that is a carrot I threw out for them last night)
