Where are my “stare at the flight tracker the entire time” people? I think they should seat us all together. Near the front, by the wing preferably.

Me: Horses are my peace

Also me: Smears a bloody handprint across my jacket trying to look into my horse's mouth at 6PM on a Friday after paging the vet because he just accidentally bit off a piece of his tongue while standing in his stall doing nothing.

My Horse Bit Off His Tongue
I don't know what I'm doing. Apparently neither does he.

So apparently feeling like garbage is just a normal side effect of Tamoxifen. Four more years to go.

Cool, cool, cool.

Help. He looks so pathetic. Poor guy. Send pup cups.

This no wrap ear flap bandage is clutch though.

How many pup cups does it take to heal an ear hematoma?

My dog wants to know.

(Nobody come for me. We've been to the vet. A medically sound treatment plan is in place. But Gus would prefer an alternate plan involving food and squeaky toys).

Of my favorite fictional characters growing up, two were droids (Data, R2-D2) and one was an alien sent to Earth to study humans (Mork).

I found them all deeply relatable.

That probably should have been the first clue.

December 10 Advent calendar haul. One candy cane cookie that will be consumed on my pillow.

Spotify: You played "What Was I Made For?" 70 times in a row. You good?

Thinking of forming a support group for those of us personally victimized by Spotify Wrapped.

How I find the time to listen to that much Taylor Swift is none of your business, Spotify.

One time I (barely) finished a 40-mile ski race and my race snacks looked like a child was left unsupervised in a 7-Eleven and everyone started calling me donut hole because I had one in every pocket.

He got this ball in his Advent calendar today.

After the election, I watched The Birdcage on repeat. Nobody makes me feel better when I'm having a hard time than Robin Williams. Sometimes I walk past the Mork and Mindy house in Boulder and just thank him for everything and let him know how much we love and miss him. Nanu, nanu, you legend.

I've only opened one door a day on my dog's Advent calendar since December 1 and I don't think I get enough credit for that.

It's that time of year where social media platforms provide our 2024 highlights and we reflect on what we want for the New Year. My recap is three words.

I survived cancer.

It still feels surreal. My next MRI is in January. Fingers crossed for a clear scan.

Posted that it was Friday. Had moment of panic that it wasn't actually Friday. Imagined cruel joke of mind convincing me it was Friday when it was actually Tuesday. But no, it is Friday. Siri confirmed.

It's Friday. December has been a long year. Tell me your goodest boy stories.

I'll go first. On a hike, my dog waited in front of a gate for me to open it. There was no fence, y'all. Just a lone gate in an open field. He just knows he's supposed to wait for me to open gates. So he did.

One thing I love about humans is that we buy advent calendars for our pets and then become more excited than them about the treats.

Me: A SQUEAKY TOY HOT COCOA. NO WAY!

My dog: Yeah, cool. I'll just put this next to the 3,000 other toys. You gonna eat that bacon?

Whenever I start feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, I just remember that someone posted a TikTok of a miniature cow wearing a backpack to the sound, "I like my sooootcase."

And then I think, "we're gonna be alright."
