Watched some MST3K Turkey Day marathon while we ate. Husband hadn't seen Boggy Creek II before. His comments amounted to, "wait, what?"

Got flu & covid shits! They refused to give me the shingles one.

I'm not 50. I'll pay out of pocket.
It's $300. I had Covid this year, I'll pay.
You have the antibodies now! Doc said I should
Then we need a prescription.

You must answer her riddle. Her riddle is, "Give me some treats." #CatsofBlueSky
A gray and white cat sits on the arm of a pink couch. She is in a Sphinx pose, with her front legs stretched before her. Her eyes are half-closed. They are dark pools of black. She looks wise and thoughtful.

I discovered some old videos of my dad playing in his band! And what do they sing about? Dreams and going to bed! What a weird synchronicity! #sleep #insomnia

I found some old videos of my dad’s band. It was like he was talking to me across the decades. What did we talk about? Dreams and sleep.

She is so beautiful but hates having her picture taken 😭 #CatsofBlueSky #BlackCatsofBlueSky
A black cat lays on top of a pink couch, her tail curled curled around her body. Her yellow eyes are wide, the pupils flashing in the light. Beyond are various doors.

Slightly blurry photo of a tuxedo cat on a teal blanket with gray couch cushions behind her. She is mostly black with a white chest and chin, and yellow eyes.

Getting up early consistently was difficult at first because I was anxious I had a meeting or appointment I'd forgotten about! How I was able to overcome, somewhat, that anxiety.

The Long Mornings
Waking up early was difficult because of the anxiety. If I was awake at 9:30, surely it was for an appointment or meeting, not. . .just because.

Learning how to tapestry weave! #DailyArt
A small wooden lap loom, warped in white cotton twine. There are several rows of twine weft, , several rows of red wool, and then in the middle of the red, yellow, orange, and blue wool, all in a basic tabby weave.

this is all a big misunderstanding, it wasn't a death "threat", it was a death "treat", don't we all deserve the sweet release

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy.
A fox stands next to a snowy road, unsure to cross. Text says: I am tired but I am still loving. I am not the burden I think I am. Kindly I am still here. I am still here."

Mmm should have measured instead of eyeballing it
Two knitted triangles on a pink pillow. The pink triangle is twice the size of the blue/purple triangle.

Bedtime Stories
After my parents died, my identity as a Night Owl seemed like a way to keep a living connection to them. But being a Night Owl was messing up my life.

been a looooong week. hoping you have a restful #Caturday
Close up on the face of a gray and white. There is a tiny bit of tongue visible. Her eyes look like black pools. (I added a filter to the photo, so she looks cream and brown, not gray and white.)

Every day is still a struggle to go to sleep at a "normal" time. So why do I persist?

Why did I seek treatment, and why do I continue despite how difficult it is much of the time?

Unraveling my pink pussy hat so I can repurpose the yarn. Can you believe 2017 was 50 years ago?
A pink knitted hat sits on top of a sticker-covered laptop, itself on top of the arm of a pink couch. The bottom of the hat has been unraveled, leaving a pile of curly pink yarn. A gray and white cat, as well as various black and red bags, are in the background.
