I may have trouble speaking after the surgery, so I've found a text-to-speech app like I used to use back in the days of call center laryngitis. It has fun celebrity voices. I'm doing what I can to make this experience better.
One hour until they take me in.

Is it a bad sign when Another One Bites The Dust comes on followed by Hotel California? 😳😆 Turning off the classic rock now...

In 12 hours, I'll be wheeled into surgery. It's only fitting that "Stayin' Alive" is playing right now. 😆

Wait - who says my #zombie brain has to be an ugly color? Why should it have to look like it came from a Z Nation episode? The Murphy can't tell me what to do!

Well, ok then. I mean, if it's my word then I've got to live it, right? Might as well have fun with it!

I'm going to #crochet a zombie brain. I'm trying to decide what color #yarn to go with. I'm heading towards something variegated. But do I go green, gray, or something else? I'm using Red Heart Super Saver (I'm poor, deal with it) if you have a specific color suggestion. Thanks!

I've discovered LED disco light bulbs. With those and a decent sound system in my bathroom, I can become a real party pooper!

I apparently forgot that Val Kilmer died this past year, RIP. On one hand, who can keep track of every celebrity who kicks it, right? But how can you forget a star you grew up watching and swooning over?
My memory has concerned me for a while, it continues to worsen, and it's time to get help.

My first day of 2026 is thankfully my last day of being anxious about this surgery. I don't ever want to do this again.

The last sunset of 2025 over Mount Rainier, when the sun lined up just right and turned the mountain into a pillar of fire 🔥🌄
A rare, almost impossible moment, nature closing the year with pure awe and reminding us how incredible it is to witness something this fleeting ✨

Let's leave 2025 behind us. We'll just remember it as the year the United States got drunk and cut its own hair.

Kansas City MO airport (MCI) has been evacuated due to a bomb threat. Apparently a duffel bag was found in a pre-security bathroom with a note that it would explode if touched.

I've been slowly learning Norwegian for a few years just for fun. I've found that Spotify has many Disney songs in Norwegian, some with lyrics. The Frozen movies in particular are helpful as I've seen them so many times. There's also some Christmas music, which was fun. It makes me smile.
