Two years without my best friend. Two very hard years. 💔 Wish more than anything to snuggle you one more time.

A gray long-haired cat with white markings sits by a window. Her head is turned away looking into the room.

I'm way, way behind on my page a day @lizclimo.bsky.social calendar but this is a gem.

A cartoon.

A weasel type animal sits on a beach reading a newspaper. He says to his shark friend, "Today is a gift. That's why it's called the present."

In the next frame, his shark friend, who is half out of the water, replies "Is there a receipt? I'd like to exchange today for something better?"

Whoops, rain doesn't mean good air quality apparently. No wonder my eyes are burning. Windows are now closed.

Just sat through my nephew's HS graduation, outside, where it felt like the surface of the sun. I'll pay for this. (I already am.) I'm so proud of him, though. No picture of the grad but the sky on the way home....

This kid was tired of getting yelled at so he cut it a little too close.

A young kid mows the White House lawn with a push mower as President Trump appears to yell at him.

Finally, a useful phrase from Duolingo.

A cartoon image of a bear. Text reads:

Translate this sentence

No vaya a lugares públicos porque se puede enfermar.

Don't go to public places because you can get sick.

I think I have this DVD somewhere.

Robin Williams and Matt Damon as their characters in Good Will Hunting. They're sitting on a park bench.

This will be me. 🎆

A cartoon in two frames. First frame shows a pig, sloth, bear, and bunny counting down to New Year's Eve in festive years and horns. 4, 3, 2, 1 Happy New Year!

Frame two: the pig asks "wait, my watch says 9pm. did you move your clock ahead?" And the bear replies, "I'm so tired."

Easy cookie recipe - palmiers. Store bought puff pastry, cinnamon, and sugar. My puff pastry was a little dried out so these came out a bit rough, but still very edible!

Heart shaped swirly cookies on a cooling rack.

#MigraineChat My phone's screen brightness doesn't show a percent but if I had to estimate, mine is almost always set on 5-10%. How about you?

Well, time for me to daydream about moving somewhere warm again.

Trees, bushes, and grass covered in a bit of snow.

Update Salvaged enough of some produce to make one dinner tonight. And made a pie crust from scratch since my go-to "safe" store-bought shells are out of stock everywhere. I know the crust needs work, but hopefully it's edible. TBD, having a mini Thanksgiving tomorrow. I'm tired.

A golden pumpkin pie with a homemade crust that lost its fluted edge. With any luck it still tastes good.

I swear I didn't cheat. This is really my last saved meme.

A clock. Jesus is staring up at the clock face in the top left corner. The meme text reads, "Jesus Christ will you look at the time."

A few more. Last one was through the window because it's barely 30°f and the wind is brutal. #Vermont #Aurora

Happy birthday, buddy. 💔 Miss you so much. 🌈

I mean look at these two little goobers.

Two small gray eaglets in a nest made of sticks being fed by an adult bald eagle. They’re surrounded by various partially eaten fish and bird carcasses.

Beth Morton@migrainechat· Mar 4

FYI the Big Bear eagles are proud parents to two chicks so far. Just caught a feeding on the live cam. Something good for the timeline. www.youtube.com/live/B4-L2nf...

An adult bald eagle is perched on the side of a nest of sticks feeding bits of fish to two small, gray chicks. There's one unhatched egg in the nest.

Without downloading any new pics, where are you mentally?

When my mom hands me her iPad to fix something. (She knows it's Siri.)

Beth Morton@migrainechat· Jan 6

This is what she decided to say to me before blocking me.

Post text (handle censored):

Please, I have chronic pain and many other health conditions.

You can suffer then. I hope that makes you feel much better!

My fluffball loved sitting under the tree, especially if there was ribbon to nibble. I had to say goodbye to her this summer. It was hard to put up the tree this year.

A gray long haired cat with white markings sits under a Christmas tree. Only the very few bottom branches, ornaments, and lights are visible, but she's laying on a green and red tree skirt adorned with snowflakes and other festive decorations.
