Oof. The world is falling apart, but my orange knows that a silvervane ‘nip bender is the best way to deal. #GalahadKitty
A beige couch has two pairs of folded leggings on it. The black leggings are covered in catnip. The bag of catnip is on the floor in front of the couch, clawed open, with catnip all over the floor. A cat must have brought the bag onto the couch and busted it open for this to happen. A hardwood floor with a beige couch on the far left side shows an open bag of catnip with catnip strewn across the floor. A pair of slides filled with catnip are in the far left bottom of the picture. Again, a cat did this.

@plushiedreadfuls.bsky.social my kid’s ADHD rabbit arrived today. There was so much squealing and excitement! Thanks! I didn’t realize there were bees in its butt. 😂
A plush rabbit with the chaos symbol on its stomach and very long gray and white floppy ears. The rabbit has one gray arm, one red arm, and has a white head and belly. It has one button eye that looks like it had to be sewn back on, and one button eye that looks like it’s been there.

So I guess my leg belongs to #GalahadKitty now.
An orange cat sleeping on a human’s outstretched leg, with his upper body wrapped around the top of the leg and the rest of his body beside it. The leg and the cat are elevated at the foot of a recliner. He is super comfy and looks like he’s hugging his human’s leg. He has one paw tucked under his head as he naps. The human is wearing a short jean skirt, colorful Marvel themed leggings, and glittery silver Crocs.

For the last three weeks at least one of us was at home during the day. This is the first day that all the people left the house for work/school. This is the face of judgement! #GalahadKitty
An orange cat sits on a couch next to his human’s leg. His face shows disappointment, displeasure, and judgement. He is MAD that the humans left him for the day.

The croissant is unhappy I keep talking about going back to work tomorrow. #GalahadKitty #SundayScaries
An orange cat is curled up like a croissant next to a human leg. The leg is wearing jeans and is attached to a human person.

Thankful that it’s a snow day, and I don’t have to deal with any 1/6 discourse with anyone I work with. The snow/ice is making DC a mess, too, which is appropriate for the day. I’m happy to hang here with #DreadPirateCookie judging me.
A calico cat sits on a green and white checkered pillow. She is staring in the general direction of the camera, and is clearly unhappy that there is no food for her.

I didn’t realize that there were maraschino cherries that weren’t neon. Happy New Year’s Eve!
A jar of Luxardo-The Original Maraschino Cherries is on a counter. They are the regular cherry color and not neon red or overly sweet.

This bratty cat yelled at and attempted to bite/scratch a friend. She looks cute, but she’s not a friendly kitty. #DreadPirateCookie
A calico cat laying on her back in a purple and orange blanket. Her paws are in the air. She has her eyes closed, but she is a biting brat.

“He’s Dead, Jim” is by the tree and ready for Christmas. He was named by my child, who was introduced to Star Trek TOS by my hubs.

I’m on winter break, prepared to rest, relax, reset, and do all the holiday things I haven’t had the spoons for so far. #DreadPirateCookie is helping with the first part. #GalahadKitty is causing chaos, per his usual.
A calico cat laying on a person’s lap. She has swiveled her head to the left in an attempt to reach the whipped cream topping a white coffee mug resting next to the lap.

The orange cat’s left paw is raised as he gets ready to smack a small pouch sitting in the tv shelf. It is doomed to be pushed to the floor soon.

I am judged. Perhaps rightly, since this is not the best Christmas movie… #GalahadKitty
An orange cat stares judgily at the camera. He is sitting in front of a television playing “Santa Claus is Coming to Town”.

The cats are the only thing keeping me from crying daily at this point. #DreadPirateCookie

#DreadPirateCookie will use me or the hubby as a bed. She doesn’t care, as long as we bring the warm. She looks so cute, but she WILL bite.
A calico cat laying on a black comforter, which is over a man’s legs. The cat has her eyes closed and looks comfy. The man’s hand is visible, holding a blue coffee cup. He’s not going anywhere for a while.

We put a table in the living room to accommodate Second Thanksgiving with my parents, and #GalahadKitty is judging us hard for disrupting his space.
An orange cat stares at the camera. He is peeking over the back of a chair which is at a long table. The cat stare is very judgmental because the table doesn’t belong here.

Guess which numbers are from the pediatrician’s office! Yeah. CO2 reaching well over 2000 at the appointment. What ventilation?
An Aranet CO2 monitor reading line graph for 11/27. The lows are in the 600 range, but the numbers spike at around 10:15 AM and go to a high of over 2000 before dropping back down. The spike is when we were in the pediatrician’s office.

Going to get my kid a heart MRI this morning. I’m thankful for ReadiMasks! I used one last year for my MRI and ordered extras just in case. I’m hoping they’ll do a better job on the IV than the last time the kid had one. It was 4 sticks and getting some nasal drug to get it in the last time.
A white woman with glasses wearing a yellow ReadiMask. She looks irritated at having to get an MRI. Her shirt has an American flag and you can see the words making up the top part of the stripes include “compassion” and “generosity”. If you could see the whole flag, the white stars make the word “Love”.

This is Jeff the Squirrel. He taunts my cats #GalahadKitty and #DreadPirateCookie from the deck railing and I guess his newest gig is randomly hanging out in my neighbor’s driveway? Anyway, he’s both bold and chubby.
A bold squirrel sitting up on his back legs in a driveway. He is right behind a parked car and looks like he’s watching the road.

I plan to use #EMC2Learning Squirrel Army Showdown to have students learn about labor unions tomorrow. My classroom is in its Spider Era…
A slide labeled “Squirrel Army Showdown” with cartoon images of Miles Morales and Hobie Brown at the bottom. Miles is asking Hobie “Um. Hobie? Why squirrels?” and Hobie replies “I dunno, Mate. Just go with it.”

Big, buttery moon above the drive in movies tonight. Red One was a ton of fun!!

My kid is so talented. She had to do a 12-sided die project in English, and every side is a delight!
A giant pentagon shaped paper labeled with the book title, Snapdragon, and the author, Kat Leyh. It has a drawing of a kid and a dog with its tongue sticking out. There’s a shadow silhouette of another character in the background.

#GalahadKitty sat on my kid’s lap for the first time in…years, if ever. He looks happy. Everyone was very quiet to encourage him to keep sitting. Magical.

I’m with you on that feeling. Say hi to #DreadPirateCookie (calico menace) and #GalahadKitty (orange boi with 2 brain cells)
A calico cat sitting like a human against the back of a reclining couch, with a back view of an orange tabby curled up at the foot of the recliner part. The calico looks like she is either blowing you a kiss or flipping you off.

I am frequently trapped under #DreadPirateCookie because she knows I need to be held down or I have to go DO things.
