I can tell my husband finally got out of bed and came outside for his morning coffee and smoke because he locked me out of the house while I was off hiking our woods. Here is some fun blue fungus. Only seen this one other time last summer.

Hubs outdid himself with the thoughtful gifts this year. A gift card to a farm that does yoga w/goats, a 2900+piece rare Lego set of The Goonies + the Inferno ship, a Prince to crochet, original bird art I’d randomly admired months ago, a Chia Sophia, supersoft capy jammy pants, and goat socks.

Grateful my Awesome Possum is recovering nicely from another minor (but under general anesthesia) surgery yesterday. Thirteen years old and thirteen years as my Boon Companion. ❤️🐾

Early bday dinner at the new steakhouse on the town square was the best meal I’ve had in ages. Bartender made me a mocktail so good we had another round of them at the bar after dinner. Caesar salad was the best I’ve had in years, filet wasn’t too shabby, and the street corn was pure mouth sorcery.

Hubs is going to lose his shit when he opens the Xmas present I scored for him randomly and cheaply at the thrift store. It’s missing the necklace but I’ll figure that out.
