The four pics of Mom that I took at the #nokings event weren't enough for my sister, and she wanted me to find us in other people's post for whatever reason. We were at a suburban event with >1,200 ppl. I finally found signs we were there in a stranger's sm post, but I doubt she'll be impressed.

Happy Eostre appreciation day!

#NaNoWriMo is shutting down. Good fucking riddance. Something that should have been beautiful got real ugly by the end.

I helped a friend look for a vet to help her send her fur baby over the rainbow bridge at home, and came across this horrifying word salad on one of the pages. If you can't read it, it says, "Relieve your deadly pet by availing Pet Euthanasia services in Crosby and eliminate the irrecoverable dogs."

I feel like this hospital cafeteria sign missed the opportunity to say "Today is a good day to dine."

Me and my complex grieving like:

Cold day in Hell here in Houston

Working in bed this cold, rainy morning on a dystopian time-travel lesbian romance, enjoying a cup of coffee my husband brought me unprompted, knowing full well I'm gonna toss his ilk into the fucking trash where they belong for this story. It's delicious.

My workplace today is Summer Moon coffee. Love this place a latte. #amwriting #amediting #coffee

As much as I dislike Facebook, their Marketplace algorithm knows the right level of bonkers to get my attention. #FBmarketplace #whatthezuck

Kitty photo dump. The first two have made good strides and have started playing, and one has purred while receiving scritches. I received one more from the finder, and they're clearly the runt of the litter. They've been slower to warm up, but they've started taking snacks from me.

Foster babies: received some semi-feral kittens found on a neighborhood street. Orange is a spicy boy but is learning (begrudgingly) to accept human touch if it comes with pate. Gray is gonna be a lapcat one day, no question. #houston #fostercats #fixurpets #kittens
