Mr. Butters doesn't believe me when I say his mummy will be back. He is the sweetest little Ewok ever.

Xena's new sitting style. I do not know, but as you can see it makes her happy so my hands are tied. 🤷♀️

Oh look, more. This was pointed at a journalist in Chicago. Note the Christo fascist sticker on his mag.

Idk how exactly but now I'm in charge of holding Lily's butt so she doesn't fall off the side of the bed. The king sized bed with plenty of empty level space. She's exceedingly pleased with herself, purring like crazy.

I missed the peak color & I took it in the car so not exactly high quality picture but when I turned down the street home today I knew this was fall's last big show. It's been a stormy night, most of these leaves are gone I'm guessing.
This is such a beautiful little town.

Ok well now I'm sad I don't vote in the city!

Well I'm still sickly ah, but I got my masked self down to the (totally locked down btw, if you're going tonight you have to use the rear cop entrance) courthouse. Up a long flight of cement steps. WORTH IT.
I haven't missed an election since I became a citizen in 2018, I ain't gonna start now.

Not doing great today, I can't sit up comfortably (ulcers). But Xena was ready to play as we usually do this time of day. I smashed the pain down & played as long as I could take it. Eventually I had to come back to bed to lay down.
She found me right quick. HOW DOES ANYONE SAY NO TO THIS?!?

Our town made trick or treating tonight for some freaking reason. This is how I plan to scare them: study hard or you'll end up having to learn organic chemistry when you're old!! 👻

Bff got the dogs Halloween costumes. Butters is in witness protection or something making him surprisingly difficult to get a decent picture of him. Xena is just a Void confused as to how she suddenly grew wings, 😂.

DID! She literally ran over & herded her right back onto the porch! I knew she was a smart dog but dang. My briliant baby. 🖤

YALL!!! Bff's daddy was a wood carver (this is Appalachia) & I finally convinced her to get a case to display their (her mum painted) amazing work. And that's when I discovered he carved Ents & a Green Man!
No wonder we get on so well we're both nerds from way back!

Happy Caturday from my best friend Josey Wales who recently passed on at 15 yo. She was the chonkiest snuggly girl ever, she even loved belly rubs on her white cloud tummy. 😇

Thank god, fall appears to finally have arrived. Cold outside air combined with flannel & an electric blanket is one of my favorite indulgences. Plus it does help the pain; or rather, it's doesn't actually do anything but the heat is really soothing. Especially if muscles are cramping.
Fall rules!

My lighting preference, her father carved & her mum painted those carving. I LOVE that her home is filled with personal art & excited to get it out of the dusty boxes & corners it's been in to be the center of the home!
