Huge nerd. I love books and people who love books, D&D, Horror, SciFi, Boardgames... Basically if the thing you're thinking of is nerdy, I probably love it. Dog and cat dad to Spike & Dandruff.

It’s been 1 year since a little orange fluffball climbed my leg in the parking lot at work. Since then Dandy has grown to be a part of Spike’s and my family. She’s also gained a bunch of aunts and uncles here and I hope has brought some joy into the world. Happy Gotcha Day Dandy!
Christmas cards are in envelopes and addressed. I feel like a real adult.
There are some spares and I’ll do something to add some more people to the Christmas card list this weekend.
If you got a Christmas card from me last year, you’re still on the list.

Even though Dandy has been working on new methods of keeping me in place, the old ways still work too.

Spike has decided it’s a good day for snuggling.
This makes 3,739 days in a row he has made this decision.

Minor life update, my niblings’ school had a kettle corn fundraiser and I’m now roughly 5% kettle corn by volume. If there are any scientists who would like to study what a human/kettle corn hybrid species becomes, please reach out.

Just a reminder that Spike is the best snuggler. Now that you have this information, you may proceed freely with the rest of your day.

Dandy has found a new way of employing her ankle lock™️, keeping her head poking out from under the covers. I suspect this is so that she doesn’t have to look at her nemesis, the foot.

This is the face I get as I’m abandoning Dandy each night. And now it’s up at a much more visible level.

They’re double teaming the ankle lock again today. After I escaped Dandy’s one-legged effort yesterday, she has decided this is a whole body job today.
Also Spike has taken a more active role today. Now laying his neck across my ankle.

Both kids have adopted the new “ankle lock technique” of keeping me from leaving.
It’s super effective.
Also my ankle is sweaty.

I’m not sure how universal this experience is, but if you’ve ever come home after curfew as a teenager, snuck in all silent like, just to be met by a parent turning the lights on and glaring at you with their arms crossed… Dandy sitting on the bike seat has mastered that look.

After shoveling the other day, I draped my coat and hoodie over my bike to dry out.
Dandy has now claimed them and possibly the bike as well.

After recent lapses in her guard duty, allowing me to go into the outside, Dandy has decided the best approach is to hold onto me directly. This is a big sacrifice for her since it requires being near her mortal enemy, my foot.

So there I was, shoveling the sidewalk outside of Dandy’s window. When what do I behold? Why, Dandy of course, sitting on her Ledge of Judgement. Giving me a look which clearly said, “you’re doing it wrong.”
No photo, because my phone was three layers of clothes deep.
