Ten feet tall and bulletproof. Loving life, Pittsburgh, dogs, and you. Yes, you. 💕 (Pittsburgh born and raised; small town CT since '17. Married since '20. Breast cancer tried me in '21. I'm still here.)

Awaiting vehicle from off-site valet parking. Came back early and didn't know how to tell em. Turns out, the app has a button I didn't know about. Super friendly employees showed me for next time!

Slept a decent portion of the flight from Hartford to DC. Missed the Crack of dawn. Thankfully the rain seems as though it won't impact this flight, too. Gonna be a good day.

OHMYDOG. I am 55 years old and just now *today* learned that "it feels like I stoved my finger" means nothing to everyone outside of Pittsburgh! Seems non yinzers say "Jammed" or "sprained" and wow, I just don't know what's real anymore.

Learning stuff every day...

A Black-capped Chickadee checking out the Poison Ivy bush. The berries are bad for humans (no surprise there) but are perfectly fine for birds. Birds' immune systems don't react to urushiol, the sap that triggers the allergic reaction in people.

Cleaning out the Spaceship in preparation for selling him since the new to me RAV4 is officially registered and all legal. Found beloved Pringles from 2018 (older than the RAV4, who clearly needs a name that hasn't presented itself just yet).

Bought an Ollie's lampshade for the most hideous lamp and it is fuckin perfect. (Before anyone asks, yes, one must feed the meter and turn the knob to make the lamp work. I figured out if I don't turn the knob all the way, the coin doesn't drop and the light will stay on.)

Ya don't say...

“A single-payer universal health care system could cover every American, save more than 100,000 lives a year, and still cost $1 trillion less than the system it would replace, according to a new preprint study led by researchers at the Yale School of Public Health.” ysph.yale.edu/news-article...

Home safe... with a new to me vehicle (2021 Toyota with under 18k miles for a wildly phenomenal deal). Basically only had time to visit a few older relatives and pick up the RAV4 from New Castle from a friend. Lots of emotions about this trip, but the biggest is Grateful.
