It is with a broken heart that I am letting folks who knew @gamj90.bsky.social know that she passed away peacefully this morning.

3 months is a very long time when you are mourning and missing the hell out of someone who was enormously special.

Was looking and saw a light at the end of a tunnel. Thought maybe it was a train but it was Two Trains from @2ndshiftbrewing.bsky.social .
( I will go stand in the corner now )

Just when I thought this little guy wasn't good at hiding, today he found a spot that took me hours to uncover. Here was an example of a previous hiding attempt to lull me into a false sense of security.

Technically a little bit early still.

Was outside and I'm not doing that again until Monday. Rewarding my lack of desire to be the proverbial "brass monkey" with this lovely brew from @2ndshiftbrewing.bsky.social

@socitygirl.bsky.social as promised here is the Christmas tree minus the tree skirt which I have to find soon.

Are you a fan of hazy IPA? Give this one a try if there is any left. A great anniversary brew from @2ndshiftbrewing.bsky.social

Wish me luck folks. Picking this little guy up Wednesday evening. He is 11 years old and has Feline Leukemia. He is the exact kitty @gamj90.bsky.social and I had talked about adopting after she recovered from surgery. Will often tell him what he missed out on with her not being here.

Looking to reward yourself for avoiding the shoveling of your driveway today? This little beauty from @2ndshiftbrewing.bsky.social is what I am going with.

It's going to feel like forever until spring.
