This is the start of my project. This is my last year in my 40’s. I’ll document daily whatever elicits a response. But unfortunately I’m currently laid out in bed with day 2 of a body-wrecking cold. So you get a pic of my old lady. See you tomorrow.

It’s been 4 weeks since my wife and I moved back to the PNW from California. I spent 4 years in a very conservative area of Orange County with her, and although I loved the community I blended into, it feels amazing to be home - land of green, queers, and amazing coffee.

My stately gentleman, Rye, and his ball-obsessed sister at rest, Tipsy

When your brother wishes you “happy expensive egg day” and you spend the morning yelling at the TV in a bar.

My email and shopping has become so much more refined when excluding companies whose founders, CEOs, or clients are fans of the convict in the White House. Yay for me.

Just a little Gelati to brighten up your day. #Pitbull #Princess #GeliBean #Potato #BakedPotato #GelatiMarie #TaterTot #shehasalotofnicknames

Taken when we were in Vegas last week. I couldn’t stomach the innaguration and the wife and I were both sick for our anniversary and the holidays.

Was fun to see all the art reflecting my internal feelings.

The ball was sitting next to Rye (the brown potato) and Tispy gingerly wrapped herself around it so she could cuddle. It looks so uncomfy.

In other news, a hard day ended at this cute speakeasy. Sadly the decor was better than the drinks or the food, but no regrets.

Also being in an older hotel (vintage) means I’ve been waking up every hour since 3 to someone winning in the casino below. Strangely, I’m unbothered. When in Vegas…

Heard rumblings it is back. You do realize it will never be back to what it was before the ban convos started, right?

Popped on while we wait for a reservation and got this message. Well then…

Making my exit on all Meta platforms feels nice. Friends being impacted by the wildfires does not feel nice. We’re safe, but those winds reminded me of hurricane winds.

Gonna go cuddle my puppies. (Yes my office is a sea of dog beds. We have 3, and this is their office too).

My dog is the cutest. 💕

This is Gelati. She has my whole heart. Loves: stealing anything and everything out of the fridge, chonies and socks, being swaddled in blankets, farting in her sleep, any food.
Dislikes: men in hats, Benadryl, baths, people who rush up on her, being alone.
She’s 11. I’ve had her for 7 years. 😍
