Lawyer. I make up songs about my dog and sing them to her. Sometimes I run into things.

Beside myself.

Consider a safety audit before your dime store Teddy Ruxpin teaches children how to light a match and where to find the knives.
Larry Wang, CEO of Singapore-based FoloToy, told CNN that the company had withdrawn its "Kumma" bear, as well as the rest of its range of AI-enabled toys, after researchers at the US PIRG Education Fund raised concerns around inappropriate conversation topics, including discussion of sexual fetishes, such as spanking, and how to light a match. The company is now "conducting an internal safety audit," Wang added.

Came here to confess this. She also goes by Lady Huffs and Puffs, Pumpkinhead, Princess Peach, Wagglebutt, and Tappy-toes. Here's our gal:

Brad Parker, my step-dad, passed away suddenly and unexpectedly today at age 61.

Tell the people you love how much they mean to you and keep them close.

Got myself out of bed and out of the safety of my house today to go for a silly little walk. All on my own. Proud of me.

A reminder to myself in better times (when I find my pride at this laughable) to take it easy.

And hopefully a reminder in the bad times that it only *feels* impossible.

Therapist: Have you tried carrying a worry stone?

Me: Yeah. Once.

My last worry stone:
Small gray worry stone with impression for thumb. Meant to relieve anxiety. It is broken in half. I broke it in half.

Someone made a challenge coin commemorating a cop we sued, for doing the thing we sued him for.

Didn't work out well for him.
Coin with Virginia State Police logo, reading on one side, "I'm a fucking specimen right here buddy" and "I'm giving you to the count of 3." On the reverse side, an image of former VSP Trooper Charles Hewitt reading "watch the show" and " how do you like that motherfucker?" Commemorating the traffic stop that cost him his job.

Now that I have more time on my hands, I know @joshuaerlich.bsky.social appreciates these little messages from me throughout the day.

Callie is a labrador.
Text message I sent to my husband: "Callie's neck smells like perfume I think she's been seeing other people."

Anyone else's cat try to jump in the shower with them from time to time?

Or is that just our little guy?

Nearly took the shower curtain down earlier like I was at the Bates Motel.

Cat scared the spirit out of me.

Last day of vacation!

Walked down to the Shenandoah River.

If that sign is supposed to be funny, it's a good bit.
Sign reading snake zone with drawing of snake, boarded to tree Yellow flowers and tree alongside Shenandoah River bank. Lots of greenery, smooth water, cloudy day.
