Just refreshed the SPC severe weather outlook for tomorrow, and surprise! According to Wikipedia, only the 3rd time High risk has been issued on a Day 2 outlook, and the first time it's happened since 2014. going to be an interesting tornado season.
Screenshot of a National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center graphic showing Day 2 (Saturday, March 15th) outlook for severe weather. Colors range from light green (lowest risk) to pink (highest risk). Go to spc.noaa.gov for actual forecast information, including cities affected in each area.

Dreamed I showed up to my dance class's St Patrick's Day show but had forgotten my skirt, tights, and dance shoes, and didn't have time to get home to retrieve them. 0/10, definitely have been vaguely anxious all day as a result. Thanks, brain!

The sun is out, the heat is off, it's time for pipes maintenance. (Gently, gently...)

Going to a Pokémon party today so I made a comfort food. Technically, spam musubi is probably not mentioned in the show, but Pokémon and my childhood in Hawaii are inextricably linked, so it works in my mind.
A spam musubi: a slice of lightly browned spam on top of rice and wrapped in a strip of seaweed paper.

It's snowing, and we slept in a bit. The peanut gallery has opinions. (They have an automatic feeder, but old ladies like their routines.)

*Don't worry, Puff's different-sized pupils are normal for her.

I think this picture sums up how the past several days have felt.

We learned/re-learned how to ski today. Now to sleep for approximately one life age of the earth....

Anyone else feel like this app is recapturing some of the open discourse of early 2000s bulletin boards? For the first time in years, I'm not terrified to interact outside of my immediate friend group.

Anyone else annoyed that they keep taking geek culture names to use for their dystopian companies and initiatives? Palantír, Andúril, now Stargate. 😭 Can they not leave some things untainted?

(Also hi, I'm new. Didn't actually want my first post here to be a complaint, but c'est la vie I guess!)
