Near disaster on TogetherCraft trying to find Elytra and very foolishly took my good gear with me, whereupon I got hammered by a billion shulkers. Doing time at the EnderEnder to get some levels back. Syrich, if you're out there, not all heroes wear capes. Some wear elytra and get your stuff back.

Dad was very sad to see him off, but very happy he’s with me. He’s been calling for updates, and the resident community manager said if I keep sending pictures and video, she’d show them to Dad. Milo has been very scared, but today he was waiting for me at the isolation room door and I got purrs!

So Dad’s condition had advanced to the point where he remembered to scoop Milo’s box, but would leave the open bag of waste in the closet and continue using it until the other residents complained about the smell. My aunt wanted to have Milo euthanized. So I have three cats now.

The face (and unexpectedly blurry roses) of someone who's still in too much pain to bother with products or blow drying, but who is ambulatory and enjoying a new cute shirt.

So many amazing new ideas to take home from this @microsoftcertifiedcoach.com virtual cohort. Huge thanks to #i2eEdu for the opportunity. Disability can be so limiting for being able to participate in PD like this, and virtual programs like this one open worlds of accessibility. #MicrosoftEDU

Pain is really bad today and Toby seems to know something is off because he’s being uncharacteristically companionable. Also he has no bones.

Went to vote at the elections office (it was simple and took 10 minutes in and out), and the office was right next to the little fruit and flower stand, so of course I ended up bringing home a haul.

Toby, who is the littlest boi rescued as a kitten from a hoarding situation and remained fun sized, and Bean (Vanilla Bean), who was found in a Boost box with his siblings at a couple days old, and is the biggest non-Maine Coon I've met. In build and personality, they are Yzma and Kronk.

We’ve been cleaning it Dad’s house following his move to assisted living, and found this on top of a shelf in the garage. Dad made it before I was born. We thought it lost decades ago.

As someone whose job involves, among other things, designing digital stuff for people of all technical abilities to navigate, I am enjoying the untold story behind how many different times the instructions to access the Wicked bonus content appear on prime Video. (Pops up when you hit play, too).
