How did you know
A tortoiseshell cat on top of a comforter and curled up in my lap preventing me from reaching my laptop. The keyboard is visible on the other side of her.

Yeah.......
A photo of a black cat laying on her side on a desk. She is on top of a mousepad that is barely visible. The mouse is next to it and you can see a monitor, keyboard, and wrist rest cropped on the side.

This stinky ninja used the edge of the mattress and consequentially my side as a springboard the other night during her 2am zoomies

Can I offer you a hazel belly in these trying times
A tortoiseshell cat kinda on her back kinda on her side on a rug. She's looking at the camera. Her front paws are to the side and her bottom half is on her back, exposing super soft belly fur waiting to be petted

Had to dig to find it, but in 2018 I took him to the same park and covered some of the same trail I did today. He was always down for a hike especially if it involved waterfalls.

My dad would've been 70 today. Since the weather was so nice, I took a sick day and went down to Letchworth for the day. Knee decided 5 miles was enough, but it was so nice to get outside especially today. Fuck cancer.
A photo of a hiking trail lined with trees Photo of Upper Falls at Letchworth. It's a huge gorge with a waterfall way in the distance. Above the waterfall, a train is going by on a bridge Another photo of the gorge, just looking down to the river A different waterfall up close. It's super wide.

Finally cleared m6s!! And of course my character always ends up in some ridiculous position in gpose 😭
It's the backdrop to the savage Sugar Riot fight in FFXIV - a group of 8 characters are posing with defeated Sugar Riot. My character, a male au ra monk, is somehow doing a thriller type pose mid air. Everyone else looks normal.

A selfie from snapchat. I am half in the frame, at an angle and slouched over. A tortoiseshell cat is on my back with one eye visible at a goofy angle. The caption reads: "My punishment for slouching"

Pulled up my work gitlab page for something and lol. Can you guess when I got back on medication (and got promoted, same month)
An activity chart/punch card graph from gitlab, showing sparse activity in 2024 and clear empty spots where I took PTO. January is a bit busier and then since February a lot more consistent activity.

I have a photo for that one but would prefer to dm it. it's also, again, not an amazing photo lol. This is my extremely not ergonomic resting position when using my computer which is causing the upper part of my arm to ache and,
my arm with my hand resting on a mouse. the middle of my forearm is resting against the desk holding the weight of my arm

so fortunately/unfortunately the ibuprofen kicked in so most of the little pains are gone atm. but I can explain what I mean by palm up/etc - these are both with my elbow bent around 90 degrees. I live alone lol w/ no mirror so unfortunately not the best angles here. The upper arm pain -
it's my right arm. I'm wearing a ring on my right ring finger and you're seeing my forearm against the floor of my bedroom with my palm facing up it's my left arm. I'm wearing a watch and you're seeing my forearm against the floor of my bedroom with my palm rotated to be vertical. I don't know why I'm doing alt text on these.

Cleared EX4 and I thought my friends were done with screenshots so I started a dynamic emote and this is what one of them got. My poor guy tired after getting smacked around I guess.

A group of various fantasy characters in ffxiv standing in a row against a castle-like background. On the far right is my character, a male Au Ra doubled over with his hands on his knees. A zoom in on just my character from the previous screenshot. Character is doubled over with his hands resting on his knees.

I spent a lot of time getting this ✨ fancy chair ✨ in FFXIV and I guess this is my life now. It was night in game and I was too lazy to figure out gpose to make it look better but. Dungeon cleared, rare chair received.
A male au ra character in FFXIV is sitting on a very ornate purple and white throne. The character is wearing all except white sneakers, have their hands crossed, and one leg crossed over the other at the knee. The screenshot is a little blurry.

Hazel hasn't been pretzeling (pretzelling? defying physics and the existence of bones?) as much lately but I did get a pretty good double snooze a few weeks ago
Two cats are sleeping in a bedroom - in the background, a tortoiseshell cat is laying on top of a radiator and has put as much of her body between the grooves as possible to capture all the warmth. In the foreground there is a black blob of a cat curled up on a white blanket on the bed

I have nothing to offer but this photo of a weird pretzel I found. Hope you're able to get through the day okay :(

Hurt my arm over the weekend from the three hours I spent shoveling and breaking ice. Jammed my knee at tennis class on Monday, and stepped on glass yesterday morning. Fished out my knee brace and urgent care got the glass out this morning, but What A Week

Mine melts into it instead (I've checked, not hot enough to hurt)
A tortoiseshell cat laying on top of a radiator. One front leg and her chin are between the ridges, and her tail is hanging down slightly curved.
