Anyway, it's day one of NNOHA, and kicked it off with a long walk and pan dolce.
White hand with painted nails holding a small vanilla concha in one hand. It's still partially covered in a plastic wrapper.

Why do I live in mid-Michigan when I could be eating like this
A pale hand holds a tightly wound croissant wheel dipped in a bright-green pistachio coating. Although you can't tell, it's filled with thick pistachio cream.

Still thinking about monster trucks.
A hot-pink and purple monster truck called Lil Miss Dangerous turns aggressively from a start flag, with the front of the truck angled toward the camera. A yellow monster truck named Psycho Circus launches over a dirt jump embedded with flattened cars. A red monster truck named Gunslinger tears across a muddy field, angling toward a jump. You can make out a white monster truck in the background that's used to take regular people on monster truck rides.

Graham is trying his best to help with recovery today.
A sleepy orange cat stares up at the person taking the picture from his position stretched on a plush blue zigzag-patterned bathrobe.

My beautiful son is gone, and everything is smaller and shittier without him.
A white cat sleeps in a pile on a gray cushion. He's very tired, but he's enjoying the sun on the porch.

A white cat vibes with his eyes closed from his seat on a porch cushion. His ears are very pink, and you can see a deck railing and an umbrella stem in the background.

You know what day it is.
A white cat perches awkwardly on wooden stool as he leans forward, screaming for a tiny pancake being held in the foreground.

The cat pile was strong yesterday.
An orange cat, a brown tiger cat, and a white cat laze next to one another on a folded gray blanket, which is on top of a denim-colored ottoman. The cats are in varying stages of sleep or almost sleep.

You know what day it is.
A white cat sits on a stool and screams at the camera. The tag on his collar is visible and reads WREX.

Wrex has been having too many sad butt days, so we're going to visit our friends at the vet today.
A white cat loafs on a turquoise towel in an open pet carrier, which is sitting on the floor in front of a blue ottoman draped with a gray quilt.

Just vibes here.
Close side profile of a white cat's face, a black name tag reading WREX prominently displayed. In the background, you can sort of see a blurry bar cart.

Enjoy this lovely d20 that's part of a set my partner picked out for me. Desperately need a gaming group.
Hand holding a clear d20 against a light-blue wall. There's a tiny cat included in the die, and some of the resin is translucent blue.

It is time.
Two boxes of Tyranid warriors and leapers sits on a white desk. The boxes are unopened and depict images of the fearsome xenomorphs. There's also a black Moleskine notebook with an 8-bit Link on the cover and a purple pen and container of plastic glue on top of it. Bonus latte from Strange Matter Coffee is also in view on a cork coaster.

The face of a cat who did wild barf crime and then opened the bedroom door, let in two other cats, knocked over the plants, and tracked dirt everywhere.
A mostly upside-down close-up of a white cat's sleepy face. He's draped over the arm of a chair.

Bonus snuggle pic.
An orange cat lays on a variegated knitted throw. The orange cat's brown tiger sister curls on top of him, using his back as a headrest.

Update: Graham is full of shit but otherwise seems fine.
The saddest orange cat sits in the bottom half shell of a pet carrier that's been taken apart. His head hangs over the edge, and it's clear he's contemplating the choices he's made in his life. The pet carrier is sitting on a metal examination table.

Three years of remission for my beautiful son.
A white cat squints slightly at the camera as he stands on all four paws, tail curved into a gentle "C" shape. He's outside on the porch, which has gray planks, and the white railing is visible behind him. A tag bearing the name WREX dangles from his collar.

Been looking for this cat.
An orange stripey tail peeks out from beneath a knitted earth-tone blanket piled on the floor.

This was actually a lot harder than I thought it'd be, especially because I had to leave out the games of my youth. Introduce yourself with four video games!
Vector image that depicts the silhouette of a horse head from the iconic image of Equus Oils in the game Kentucky Route Zero. White text on a black background below the horse head reads "KENTUCKY ROUTE ZERO, a game in five acts by Cardboard Computer." The original box art for the launch version of World of Warcraft, which depicts the face of a light purple-skinned night elf with leaves in her hair and the head/torso of a dwarf carrying a large blunderbuss. Box art for the game Dragon Age Origins, which depicts an artistic red splattery dragon. Within the bounds of the dragon, a person in plate armor holding a sword and shield stands on a battlefield and a dark mage hovers in the background. Box art for the 2008 game Dead Space, which shows a disembodied arm covered in metal plating floating in space.

It's a small but mighty group so far! If you're an oral health advocate or professional, let @ohnoitsjanna.bsky.social know!

The performance itself was just okay, but it was a lot of fun to be there. The two folks next to me were regulars, and they both put on masks when they saw I was wearing one.
A somewhat tired looking woman with short blonde wearing black-rimmed glasses, a black mask, and a comfy gray sweater glances back over her shoulder at the camera. She's sitting in a theater gallery, and you can see other people and scattered scenery below.

Making the most of work trips, part 3468853.
A small card depicting a creepy, grasping hand rises into the words FRANKENSTEIN. The card, which is advertising the Cincinnati Shakespeare Company's production of Frankenstein, is set on a cobweb placemat with faux spooky vials and elixirs in the background.
