Seattle but eastside so it doesn’t count. Love my cats, photography, vegan food, yelling at the tv. Pessimist but hope I am wrong.

Fun @seattlekraken.com game tonight! Some drama,!some suspense, two quick goals and an empty net to seal the deal. Schwartz, Stevie and Grubi deserves their starts.

I hope Matt is ok. I didn’t see him get hurt.

Black bean butternut squash chili in the slow cooker is amazing. It was worth the chopping and cut fingertips.

The middle finger of your dominant hand is so useful. Once you can’t use it, you really understand that.

Bandaging it is particularly difficult.

Classic LinkedIn: Publish a post saying that a college degree isn’t useful if you have a good idea. Said person then writes they know Stanford and Harvard dropouts who have done just fine.

Sure, but they start much farther ahead of someone not in a top 5 school. Terrible examples to use for advice.

I’m having donation regret. I’m pretty sure I donated a pair of short boots that were cozy and snazzy. I can’t find them. I’ve looked in my shoe locations and no sign. What was I thinking?

Not that I can afford expensive boots to replace them but damn, I need those.

Maybe they’ll appear. 🤞

It’s #SmallBirdSaturday! I usually take pictures of ducks and larger but I have two little ones I really like.

The Junco was hanging out next to a walking trail. He was so cute he deserved a photo.

The hummingbird became a regular visitor to my balcony. We had a couple interactions. Also very cute

Never forget the advice to not read your lab results before your doctor does.

The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #swans and the alternative is #posts birds perched on any type of post.

This is an American Kestrel on a post. No swans near me.

This is how I’m watching the game tonight.

Turns out the chili I took two bites of had real ground beef, not vegan crumbles. My body is not going to like this, at all.

I became a vegetarian 31 years ago and vegan 13 years ago. I can’t believe I didn’t catch it in the ingredients list.

Confession: I’ve been telling everyone I’m not worried about the job search but my unemployment is running out. I don’t want to burn through my entire savings. I’ve officially become anxious. I haven’t shared with friends. I don’t want them to worry because then I’ll want to make them stop worrying.

Game Day Space Needle: Kraken lost to CBJ in a shootout, 2-1.

And I completely missed the Aurora because I was at the game.

Just sent a counter proposal to my property manager on my rent increase. It’s worked for me before with other property managers, hopefully it will work this time.

Can the @bsky.app team explain why the dropdown menu to Block someone is so close to the Follow button? I don’t want to follow the creeper, I want to block him. Grrr…

Looks like major Aurora storm predicted over the next couple nights. Thanks PNW weather, it’s likely going to be clouded over.

I’ve been getting books from all sources and today it was Half Price Books. The Audubon book is from 1997. I had to grab To Kill a Mockingbird to wrap up the bird themed shopping spree.

I’ve paid $35 to add 5 cool books to my library this week. Should keep me entertained for a while.

SEATTLE!!!

We’ve now taken the lead by 91 votes! 🤯 This thing is certainly not over! Over 1,000 ballots have been challenged, so if you haven’t tracked your ballot yet get on it! Our trusty volunteers have been working hard to "cure" ballots so they count! We're so close!
