Just a transmasc dude with cats, geckos, and a husband in MD. 42 I ramble about inane things, paint, and I like to explore. My brain is weird. Nature is rad!

Sticking to my herbal tea from now on. Ooof. Had an apple pie latte from Wawa and the heartburn is almost unbearable. I’ve taken antacids but they ain’t touching it. ;0; I guess at least I’m not feeling sleepy just ouchie.

Ugh. I think I'm burning myself out. I've been going nonstop working on art and stuff. Yesterday, I just sat down and cried. A sure sign I need a break. Going to try adding more time to my breaks in my timer. Also might slip some cozy gaming in there to rest the mind. Anyway, back to work. x3

My everyday life has been vastly improved by putting a bird feeder next to the window of my office. They are kinda noisy, but since we only get finches, it’s pretty delightful. :) I really love it.

Enjoyed watching this Western Gray Squirrel peel and eat a California Buckeye nut this week. These endemic Buckeyes are toxic to most animals, but not to this amazing creature! 💚

Aaaaaa. So we take Lucy to the vet over what we thought was a UTI. Apparently, she needs a couple teeth out. As usual, cats be doing weird cat things to make diagnosis difficult. After some anti-inflammation meds, she's doing better. Now we just have to get ready for a 1.5k dental surgery. ;__;

Went up to Delaware to visit 2nd and Charles. Spent waaaay too long in there. Lol Over an hour and a half in fact. Then we got ramen at this place called Kanji Noodle House with a super rad logo. And then spent way too long the market nearby. Got so many tasty things to cook! :)

Ok, today was super cathartic. The urn finally came so she’s in her resting spot. It’s big enough to put her favorite toy in there. :) And we did go paint some pottery. Hubby painted a mug with her on it. And I did a plate so I can use it for a watercolor palette. ❤️

27 days and I’m still so upset. I keep wanting put her in the urn we got for her but it keeps being delayed. We’re going to a paint your own pottery type place tomorrow in hopes they have a small jar or something we can customize. I just feel like she’s not quite put to rest yet. You know? It’s all

Oh man! I made some steak with mushrooms and smashed potatoes for our 12th anniversary. While I didn’t get either quite right, they were both fantastic! Hubby make a salad to round it out. :) I think we’re too full for blackberry topped cheesecake so no dessert tonight. X3

I must say the weather is perfect today too. Rainy and cold. Marches how I feel just bout perfectly. Going to make a hot cup of oolong and nap for a bit before painting.

Well at least Annabelle is coming home today. I still need to make her urn, but she’ll be home. I kinda wish we didn’t cremate her so we could have planted a brush or something. I still might anyway, but yeah. Think I might actually work on her painting today.

Trees that get knocked down, but keep growing, thriving, producing new growth, reorienting to reach skyward from new directions.

So happy that when mom was here we went to Old Navy and on a whim I checked the clearance. They had a few pairs of size 54 jeans returns and I was like heck it, I’ll try them on. They fit, and with the coupon I got after purchasing those I got a few more! One in green, black, and grey! ❤️

If anybody knows any cat related accounts, or ones that (legitimately) help with vet bills, could you please bump this their way? gofund.me/f6b9eb43

Jack is her whole world, but she needs help treating him. FLUTD is incredibly treatable, and many cats go on to live long happy lives.

THANK GOODNESS. My pharmacy now has my T and said I can get it today. Which I need super bad because it's been way too long since my last dose and I am now getting reminded of my anatomy. And owww. ;0;

I went out to the kitchen to get some scissors, and I came back to my office with a sandwich and a cup full of grapes. I mean, I did need to eat lunch. lol But still.

Life with attention issues. x3
