Ok- if anyone would like to donate towards Leto’s final vet, it would mean a lot.
I can do this; but timing sucks and I still have a specialist doctor next week and my budget is so tight it’s squeaking.
(Vet has been moved up to Friday, tomorrow)

I was the worst mom in the whole world and left her for FOUR DAYS!
Obviously I had to remedy that with Broccoli Wed to help bribe #Tzipporah into forgiving me.
Completely my fault for having a birthday in the first place.

Thanks for an incredible birthday weekend, #Tucson ! It was wonderful! Bonus thanks to Linda, Dad, Maggie, Akiva, and Heather for making it a most memorable holiday.

Bye bye, #DasBoot
BACK TO THE CORNER OF THE CLOSET WITH THE OTHER MEDICAL SUPPLIES YOU GO..!
Also the Dr said my friends are allowed to remind me/yell at me to walk slower for the next few months.

My house got down to 71°F and my #chihuahua has disappeared!!! Has anyone seen #Tzipporah ?
October 6, 2025 at 2:25 PM
One of my favourite #chihuahua things that #Tzipporah does is steal rags/washcloths and then bury only her head under them.
I love my dog.

I miss you both

How the fuck am I going to survive tomorrow?
September 11, 2025 at 1:26 AM
I hope I can continue to grow as a person who would make her proud

“May the saints of all the stars and constellations bring you hope, as they guide you out of the dark and into the light. On this voyage and in the next. And all the journeys still to come. For now and evermore.”

And now I’ll look for you and Wash in the TARDIS, mom.

I love you forever.

Ortho in one week. So far, anecdotally, every one of my medical friends who’s seen photos of my foot says “…you SURE it’s not broken?”
Which, let me be clear, is NOT a reassuring thing to hear.

Fuck!

Also broke down and cried for a bit but I think that did help.

Tzipper… I need that pillow to help with my ice pack elevation …

crap

GOOD NEWS
It’s not broken!

BAD NEWS
It’s a severe sprain

AKWARD NEWS
I’m back on crutches but at least I didn’t have to pay for a new set! Then back to a cane.

GREAT NEWS
My friends continue to be amazing and incredible people who will help when asked.

Hey, Tashi, did ya learn anything this week?

YES YES I DID

I LEARNED TO CHECK THE SIZING BEFORE I ORDER A NEW SQUISHMALLOW

And now I have a stegosaurus that’s 1/3 the size of my couch.

Or a new pet bed.
Unsure which yet!

You already know my voice is bad, but hey, my dog doesn’t care at all if I sing out of tune or even off key.
She loves me.
And cheese.
But maybe me more.

It’s the kind of Wednesday that deserves not one but TWO videos of Vegetable Dinner Theater with Tzipporah.

Enjoy! She sure did!

#SummerOfSeltzer2025 continues with a #Waterloo heavy rotation, mostly because I’m now ADDICTED to the Guava Berry flavor…

Well if I’m up early I might as well hit Bagelfeld’s for breakfast! Trying the olive oil and orange bagel today, and of course got a couple Asiago ones for later.
It’s Friday my friends.
You’ve made it this far.
I’m proud of you.
August 15, 2025 at 1:58 PM
Did I go over my budget at Costco today because I needed to bring this Snorlax home?
Yes.

And I’d do it again!

My asthma is flaring right now so this week’s acapella is even worse, but there’s some great carrot CRONCHIES if you do listen with volume.

No broccoli so this orange ode comes with apologies to Peter Frampton tonight.

How am I???
#asthma flare at 2am. Levialbuterol nebulizer at 5am. Prednisone at 6am.

At my office hoping my inhaler will last to the end of the day when I can pick up my refill at the pharmacy, and hating I might be doing a DuoNeb before noon. Stupid faulty lungs. #BadAssmatic
