Show me a picture on your phone that has your energy but isn’t a selfie.

Cancer treatment. When I was younger, metastatic breast cancer and metastatic melanoma were “kiss your ass goodbye” cancers. Now I’m No Evidence of Disease with MBC after 7 years (today!) and there’s a melanoma recurrence vaccine in development.

Soba’s Castle: A defunct basement bar lined with toys specifically for Soba Tinycat to bap bap down to the ground because he loves doing that. #catenrichment

All my dental work seems to be failing at once. If my crowns in the front start to go, I am going to—(remembers that suicide jokes aren’t funny)—hire a kaiju to intimidate the dentist into doing the work for free.

My goal is for this to be the inside of my brain more often. (Alt: a pastel scene of a bunny laying in a field, playing violin, being visited by a bunny in a UFO. 3 small bunnies frolic in the field.)

I’m chillin downstairs. I hear THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP upstairs. Soba has the zoomies. I wish I knew what was going on in his tinycat brain. What impulse or game is causing him to run around all batshit crazy and climb on every vertical surface?

Yesterday sucked. I went to the dentist, my mean aunt’s house, did chores, worked in the garden for 3 exhausting hours (the fun part! 🌷), and then went to the emergency room and met the most condescending doctor I’ve encountered in DECADES. (I’m fine, just hypokalemic) EPIC BEDTIME AWAITS 😴

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

I love writing! I *abhor* business. Organization, researching the backgrounds of potential vendors, following meticulous instructions, professional communication, rejection, self promotion, money…I hate it all. So I write, and don’t publish. It’s purely a hobby, for my own amusement.

YOUR DELIVERY HAS ARRIVED

Name your fav dance scene.

Got flu and covid vaccines on Sunday. Side effects are affecting me, as expected. I will be miserable with a fever and body aches until early Wednesday morning, which is WAY better than actual Covid! (Probably better than flu, too, but I’ve never had that so I wouldn’t know) Anyway, x_x

Local friends! Are you immunocompromised or around anyone who is? Are you unvaccinated? Do you have or know any tiny babies? Measles is here (again 😒) and spreads by DROPLETS. Get your MMRs, wash your hands, and mask indoors in public places. www.sacbee.com/news/local/a...

All my Grass-type friends! 💚 (in another universe, I’m a Grass-type gym leader)

Local friends! Have you seen this cat? If so, where the hell is she? Sharing for a friend without bsky. This lady is a spayed indoor kitty who escaped and needs to get back home. Please share around and call the microchip company at 888-466-3242 if you see her.

There are *nerves* inside our *teeth* and I hope that error gets patched out in the next update. (recovering from a root canal; while I’ve never been punched in the face, I imagine it feels a lot like I’m feeling right now)

Me after three drinks

Watched this lady run last year and learned some things. Watched her run again and learned some more things this year! Our trans and intersex siblings need us to watch, learn, be cool, and advocate; there’s strength in numbers and even more strength in compassion! 🏳️‍⚧️

Today was a day off, so I did the bare minimum. I’ve gone straight from being sick with a cold, to a tooth infection needing a root canal tomorrow. 🤐 Thursday I’m back at work, so the bare minimum ended up being a lot of freaking errands and chores! 😅 Tomorrow’s gonna suck but at least I can rest.

Spent an hour organizing a little rolling cart to hold all my manicure supplies. Doing nails is one of my favorite things, but the getting started is always hard; hopefully having everything in one user friendly work space will make that part of it easier for me. 💅

You know how after you’ve been laying around sick for a while and you take a shower and then you feel all wonderful and refreshed? Didn’t work. Now I feel damp and clean and sick and angry. 🤧

Slowly beginning the process of changing my laptop from windows to Linux. But it’s been so long since I’ve used Linux that I’ve forgotten how to use it. sudo apt-get my ass, I guess. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Ordered a book for command line reference and have been looking up tutorials.

I’ve tried this with Soba 🐈‍⬛. He was down for about five minutes. Then he attacked my laptop and knocked it down, realized that no squirrels or birds were coming out of the now-upended laptop, and skulked away.

I find it odd that I talk like someone from somewhere I’m not from; my parents aren’t from Utah, either. Mom grew up in Colorado like me, and while Dad was born in Washington, he spent like maybe five minutes there before being raised in California.

*touches ground* a corgi has passed this way

Bringing this back for Bisexual Visibility Month

Actually got my scan today. No new or increased metastatic disease! 😁 Now, if only I could make my upcoming oncology appointment an email.

Drove all the way across town for a CT scan today, only to be told that my scan is actually tomorrow. 😡 Entirely my mistake, too, which makes the whole thing even more annoying. Let’s look at a baby picture of my cat to feel better! 🐈‍⬛
