Hubs is King of using inappropriate tools. Soup to stir? How about a meat fork. Need a ladle? Have a teaspoon. Want to remove rough edge on an intricately carved wooden sign. Lemme use that diamond file you use for tile work. BTW, it “doesn’t work” according to him. I’m shocked, my dude 🙄🙃

Really concerned that tonight’s increasing throat irritation, headache, and sinus pain is not due to allergy flare up 🤔 All those plague bearers (students, colleagues, kiddos, spouse, and grandkiddos) might have done me wrong 😭

I have nothing profound to say today outside of… …lamb tastes like shoes smell, in my opinion. Hubs is part Greek and he, unfortunately perhaps, chose someone with the above opinion 😬😁

So, a grandkiddo (2 1/2) was just diagnosed with HFMD. Literally the entire immediate family was at our house yesterday, which means we’ve all been exposed including their cousin who’s the same age. This kiddo was the plague bearer for it last year and cousin got it REALLY bad. Hope not this time 😬

Three years ago, my dad said that all fish are the same shape. Out of spite, I decided to draw all 478 families of bony fish listed in Nelson 2016. There's still some stuff I need to edit and some fish I want to redraw but, after 985 days, I finished my big dumb fish project last night.

I’ve updated my website! Be sure to check out the desktop version - it’s much cooler than the mobile version. 🥰 I’m not a website designer so this took me FOREVER. If you find any issues please wait a week or so before telling me. I can’t look at it anymore! 😂 wendybohon.com

Once my dad was out of the USAF, my parents began looking for a permanent place, which ended up in a rural area. So, I’m used to what the countryside can throw at you. However, I’ve been living in town since I was married and I’d forgotten a few things like the seasonal migrations of 🦗 &🕷️ indoors 😂

What’s an aftershock? I explain here, probably in more detail than you ever cared to know!
