If you're looking for a smart laugh and you have access to AppleTV+, I highly recommend Murderbot. Alexander Skarsgård is comedy gold.

Me now & me 13-ish months ago.
Photo of the author wearing a gray shirt and jeans with a staff ID around her neck. Standing in front of a "genealogy and local history" presenation on a screen. She is smiling, fingers looped in her pockets. She is 205 pounds. Picture of the author smiling, wearing a pink top and jeans and white sandals. She is outdoors, standing in grass. She is facing the right but looking at the camera, with her hands on someone's shoulders. She is over 300 pounds.

Visiting my BIL & SIL. They have a stray that comes in to sleep and get pet. Not only is he a giant friendly floof, he also has 7 toes on his front feet. So cute!

Some library programs are more enjoyable than others. One of them got adopted on the spot!

Possum screaming in a grocery store. Did you know you can just start screaming, basically anywhere. It's not illegal or anything.

Finished my first book of 2025. I've started a bunch, but Mister Magic by Kiersten White is the only one that has kept my attention. 4.25 stars.

Next up: Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros.

I had a couple of drinks, and somehow, my "no spend January" turned into "put a laptop solely for playing The Sims and Disney Dreamlight Valley on the credit card."

Oldest selfie on your phone.

(Pics on my phone don't go back very far, so here's the oldest selfie in my Google Photos account.)

It's 2005 and I'm 25 years old. Not sure why I look so pissed off. It's crazy to see how nice my skin and hair look.
The author at 25 in 2005. Selfie of white, blonde woman with blue eyes wearing big silver hoop earrings. She looks pissed off.
