My cat Channing decided to watch the new @wattsthesafeword.bsky.social Unhinged Dating App Encounters video with me and he’s now relieved that he’s getting neutered soon. (Also, please pardon the spoon that my ADHD self dropped in frame while attempting to get the photo.)

So, the good news is I DID NOT die in this damned hospital on Wednesday morning, even though I was convinced I was about to. Thankfully someone FINALLY responded to my repeated frantic call button presses, discovered that the Bi-PaP had turned itself off, and restored my oxygen. Pneumonia sucks.

It’s not a white Christmas in Indy so no snowmen BUT the fairy toast nonpareils from my plate ended up on my banana and left a snowman face on it. The nose is even carrot orange!
Happy Winter Holidays!

Photo shows a 1 inch piece of banana held between thumb and forefinger. Imprinted on the banana are blue and green dots for eyes, an orange dot for a nose and a red dot for the mouth.

I suppose that implying something smells SO bad that you can actually hear the odor would probably get my point across…

What’s super sad is when even I recognize it’s not DC, and I’ve never lived there—just spent a few weeks most summers between ages 12 and 21 visiting relatives in Point of Rocks and taking the train into DC during the days as a farming escape.

Oof. It’s been years, but I still remember MS Word’s transcription of “iambic pentameter” as “I am bank debt and Camembert.” Nothing like being read by your own laptop.

This fits well with the new phrase I learned the other day: joy practice.
