Since we’re all talking about new shiny things, I splurged on these for myself. There are almost 50 mugs in the set, but I settled for two of my favorite #DocSavage supersagas.

The art is from the 1960s Bantam reprints of the original stories.

Sippin’ with the Man of Bronze!

Did a thing this morning.

First foot race in 2 years.

Not mad at it. Need coffee.
December 6, 2025 at 3:00 PM
Yeah. I did good.

So one thing led to another tonight, and I ended up at the arcade.

Funny how things like that happen…

I introduced the #Pogacat to his first show yesterday…he let me put his paws in and everything.

Not sure he knew what to make of it, but he was very tolerant of the experimentation!

Weird! This is what I get!

I hope everyone is having a good weekend…my group knocked out a ton of shopping yesterday, sticking to small local shops as much as possible. Got myself a few nice things too.

Today is the last full day of visitors, and I’m about to cook up some breakfast and get to work on more decor! 💨💨💨

This is how it came out today…perfecto!

On the flip side, I did find my beloved cookies at ALDI yesterday. I will be dunking one of these in every coffee I have from now until January. 😁

The bull is Novo Nordisk’s logo.

I like any combo of blue and green, so let’s go!

Recommended by a friend (who later reread it and said it was more annoying than they remembered), this wasn’t a bad read, but was desperately trying too hard to be cool and edgy. Can’t decide whether it was a homage or ripoff of Dresden Files. 🤔

Not sorry I read it, though! #BookSky

Well, my rescued trees cleaned up NICE! All the crud and dust are washed off and they’re sparkling again!

They still need a good fluff and some decor, but I am very pleased!

Before and after!

Okay, they’ll let me leave now eventually, right, @goldbluebirdie.bsky.social? 🤣

Fallen behind a bit on the #BookSky posting, so I’ve got a few backlogged.

I first heard about Freedom House while watching The Pitt and I was so intrigued, so I ran and checked out the book. Another fascinating part is American history I’d known nothing about.

Getting ready to crawl into bed and unwind and I get an alert from a Skywatch app.

And y’all…THE AURORA IS IN TOWN!!

Cat trees, electronic chase balls, a basket full of toys, and the #Pogacat says, “Paper bags are the best!!”

Ahhh, simple tastes. 😻😻😻

Ah. It’s snowing. Marvelous.

(I am fond of winter weather…when it’s actually winter.)

Finally got caught up on #CXEuros and YYYEEEEOOOOOO!!!

Toon Aerts wins it!

What a hell of a great race and that lead group just killed it all the way around. Great reading and the old man takes it 9 years after his last championship.

I am over the 🌕!!

It’s a #stroopwafelSunday before I scurry out into the world for a quick grocery run. It’s been a busy weekend!

But I’ll get this done, then I can catch up on some cyclocross and laundry.

An exciting life I lead, LOL.

After finishing second twice in the last few weeks…VICTORIOUS AT TRIVIA!! Wooooot!!!

Now, a bit of breakfast and I need to finish throwing stuff into a suitcase for an overnight trip. No rest for the wicked!

Welp, we lost. 1-0. All on us, we played poorly. Best regular season we’ve ever had just to tank out first playoff game.

So I went to a McDonalds (first time in YEARS) and had a snack in the parking lot.

Behold the Chicken McNugget of Sadness.

At a foot race this morning, so I can’t watch #X2OOudenaarde, but at least I am attired properly!

AHHHH, I finally got a cycling-adjacent question at trivia and it was the final question!!

Dang straight I nailed it! My three person team aced 3 of the 6 categories, but we bombed out on a popular music category just enough to come in 2nd by 5 points.

Our team name: “I Lost On Jeopardy!” #IYKYK
