Happy belated Ukulele day!

You can tell it's a real holiday cause I put on the pearl snaps shirt.

Nothing like having to fill out a workers compensation form first thing in the morning.

I slipped and fell on the ice.

I'm fine, though. Cut and braided palm and a bruise on my hip are the extent of my physical injuries.

Can I file a claim on wounded pride?

I want to laugh at it but sadly it’s true.

The downfall of democracy seems like a mighty high price to pay for all the good folk music and protests songs we've been getting.

I have decided to try to grow a full beard again.

The itchy neck stubble part is so annoying. Honest amish beard balm to the rescue!

There are thousands of Americans still in prison for weed in states where it’s legal but billionaires can rape and murder children and everyone knows it but they never see prison.

The USA is not a country of laws. It’s a pedophilic oligarchy.

I don't HATE that I watched the Royal Rumble, but I didn't enjoy it overall.

There is zero danger of me rewatching it.

I love it when I get cut off in traffic by someone and then they immediately pull into a church parking lot.

It's like they love Jesus so much they had to be an asshole to me.

Look at what I found! A full length mirror.

It makes me unreasonably happy that the movie "Hundreds of Beavers" is on Tubi FOR FREE!

If you love old Looney Tunes vibes and absurd humor as much as I do, the movie is well worth your time.

It is low budget, weird, and can feel like a fever dream, but I mean all those things as a compliment.

There are entirely too many choices for beard balms and oils.

Trying to figure out the best one to buy is exhausting.

And they are NOT cheap!

I have been slacking on posting my daily Instax Pal pics.

I've been taking them...I've just not posted them here.

Here's my second Muppets from memory drawing. No reference photos.

This is Fozzie in my mind's eye.

Officially out of school tomorrow too.

I may have to get brave and venture out today, though.

One of the things I dislike greatly about snow days is that I end up on my phone way too much.

I don't love the way that makes me feel, so....

Time to get up and get moving.

Did a little walkabout in the snow. I got some pics with my new (to me) camera.

I just got the call/email that my school is closed tomorrow.

That's a win.

I would hate to have been cooped up all weekend and the first time I get out afterwards is right back to work.
