Jays in 7.
In the mirror of a dingy, graffiti-covered bathroom, a blue MLB Blue Jays jersey with the name Estrada, number 25, both in white, is reflected. The left ear of the selfie-taker/jersey-wearer appears on the left side of the frame, face strategically cropped from view.

I had to move. I cannot handle sports sometimes.
Peak stress compared to the last photo. A nearly empty pint glass of ESB in the foreground, now at the bar instead of a faraway table. TV showing baseball (during a commercial) in the background. Let’s go Blue Jays.

Beer, baseball.

The bartender: “ERIN! Is this your Jays bar now??”

It is. Unless they get off to a bad start.
A dim photo from a dark bar, a pint of extra special bitter in the foreground, the Jays/Mariners on the TV in the background.

Cheers, ma.
A pint of a very nice IPA, in front of a moody candle and an empty pint glass, at a wonderful divey bar in the east end of Toronto.

Ok, quitting time, apparently. 🧡🖤🐾
A MacBook on a desk, mouse to the right, and a tortoiseshell cat with eyes closed half-loafing as close to the laptop as she can get without sitting on it, in hopes of getting some attention because her human has been working all day.

This little roll has been curled up nearby all day and now I finally get to stop working and snuggle with it. 🥹🥹🥹
A small tortoiseshell cat is curled up to make herself look even smaller, face buried in her tail, on a big white duvet/comforter. She is quite possibly the most adorablest littlest beanie cat in the world.

Liverpool are champions of the league. Captain Virgil Van Dijk is pictured belting out You’ll Never Walk Alone after the match, head tilted back, mouth wide open, with smoke from flares and fireworks behind him obscuring the stands. Liverpool are champions of the league. #ynwa

I am not going to be someone who asks for money via crowd sharing. Ignore that. I’m kinda fucked, regardless.

Hello.
A very fancy lowball glass that, the photographer promises, is filled with a very nice citrus- and vanilla-forward gin and soda, with lime. The photographer may have finished the bottle (with 2 drinks) but that’s fine.

But while waiting, I did my nails, and now have pointy green things at the ends of my fingers.
A left hand, with pointy and slightly-longer-than-usual shimmery green nails, is posing over a fake-wood laminate desktop. In the background is the baggy in which the fancy press-on nails came, from the company Quickies. "Salon Quality Press-On Nails".

Hey, there’s Ugh again! 😆
An awkward photo of what’s supposed to be an orc warrior in World of Warcraft named Ugh, fighting a goblin in the new Undermine area of the game.

And blinded me. But OMG the mixed beer is incredible. And gorgeous.
A beautiful bubbled beer mug with three separate layers of glorious beer: a lager, a dark, and… another lager? The author doesn’t know but it tastes so good that it probably doesn’t matter.

I came, and this beer is glorious. That is all.
A very nice mug of golden Czech pale lager. Na zdraví!

She left about 10 seconds after I took the picture, but that's why we take pictures.
A view from above of the back of a very orange and black tortoiseshell cat, snuggled in very close to a foot in a grey and black sock.

And so, beer. It’s delicious.
I missed out on one other that I wanted to try, but this’ll do.

Do the thing, folks. Always do the thing.
A glass beer mug, stamped with the brewery name and logo of Godspeed Brewery in Toronto, is filled with a glorious dark amber beer with perfect head. In the background, slightly blurry, are the taps. Wonderful.

But then there’s this.
A beautiful green-eyed tortie cat is curled up and lookup up at the camera with a very tortie face. She is fluffy and looks cozy and comfortable, making it very difficult for the author to feel motivated to move.

There is now a hole/crater in the ball of my hand the same size as this little guy. I have called him Dwayne.
A close up of a wee grey stone being held between the author’s left middle and ring finger, that the author claims has been trapped in her hand since mid-October. It’s a bit jagged, about the size of a pea, and much better out than in.

I’ve updated my phone’s Home Screen and there are a couple of things on it that make me soooo happy.

I stopped at this spot for a good 20 minutes just watching the river. I’d just finished a trip to the Salisbury Cathedral (after visiting Stonehenge and other sites in the area). ‘Twas a good day.
A screen capture of an iOS Home Screen. The image is of a river - the Avon - taken from a stone bridge (covered in bird droppings) - in Salisbury, UK - in February 2022. The widgets showing date/time/other info are in a bright cyan font. The sunset widget shows a sunset of 17:00, which is wonderful.

Apparently, it is being delivered from very far far away. (It was just delivered.)
Screenshot of an “out for delivery” tracker. Apparently, at the point of the screenshot being taken, the package was somewhere in Nunavut (in Northern Canada). It was delivered to the destination in Toronto about 5 minutes later. Magic!

I had to get the Grinch socks at McDs.
The height of remote-working fashion: socked feet in maroon Croc slides, at the end of two legs clad in grey sweatpants, on a gravelly and algae-tinted sidewalk; the feet are wearing mismatched and garish socks. On the left foot, a red sock with green toes, and on the right, a blue sock with red toes. Not pictured because of the slides: The Grinch, on the red sock, and his dog Max, on the blue sock.

I keep getting followed, unfollowed, and then followed back by folks and maybe I should not care? Leave me alone?
Beer. Delicious beer.

Naturally stopped in at my local after attempting the cheese shop. Predictable, never.
A pint glass filled with golden goodness, perched on a bar with pine garland and white LED Christmas lights behind it. You can see the bar rails in the background, many liquid-filled bottles backlit by green and yellow lighting.

I LOVE THIS. Cheers, all.
An old and slightly crusty (much like the OP of this post) flat-top can of beer called "Erin Brew". Per the caption, it's from 1955; and, it's "The STANDARD Beer". Whatever that means.

Tell us your birth year by sharing the cover of an album that was released the year you were born.
The album cover for Bruce Springsteen’s Darkness on the Edge of Town. A dark-and-messy-haired white guy wearing a white v-neck t-shirt and a black jacket, his hands in the pockets and the collar slightly up, is standing in front of a blinded window, looking directly into the camera. There is floral wallpaper on the right edge of the image. The whole picture is muted in colour. The artist’s name, followed by the album’s name, both in black typewriter font, are in the top left corner of the image.
