Got my flu and COVID shots yesterday so I'm feeling icky, but at least Toast is getting her snuggles
Toast the black cat is curled up in the crook of my body as I'm laying on my side under the covers

More cuteness on the O's Instagram story!!
A screenshot of the Orioles Instagram story about Craig Albernaz with three pictures: his whole family (him, his wife, two sons and a daughter) all wearing black and orange athletic/skater shoes with their cool black suits; One of his sons supervising while his two year old daughter holds an oriole bird bobblehead; His daughter carrying a doll and holding the hand of the oriole bird mascot

The Ravens aren't really doing fashion today because the pictures they posted are bus pictures, but I've really been enjoying that Teddye Buchanan is growing his hair back out after cutting it before the draft. I think he said in an interview that he's trying to get it long again, which would be rad
Teddye Buchanan's official Ravens picture with his hair very short on the sides and only slightly longer on top Teddye Buchanan walking down stairs before the Ravens-Dolphins game today. He's carrying a suitcase in one hand and a coffee in the other and his hair has gotten considerably longer since the official picture was taken and the curls have begun to asset themselves Teddye Buchanan's picture from when he played at Cal. His hair is slightly longer than shoulder length and very curly

Here is a cozy void
Toast the black cat curled up in a cat cave. She woke up slightly when I moved in my chair to take the picture and is looking at the camera. After I took this, she went back to sleep

Got my screenshot reflexes going
A screenshot of the Ravens Instagram story showing Lajohntay Wester in khakis, work boots, a brown shirt, and a black jacket with dusty pink roses on it. He's giving a cute little smile to the camera right after he said "let's do it." I love him.

Most of the Ravens "football but make it fashion" shots are kind of meh today, but Zay and Roquan show up in style, as usual. And Tyler Loop is getting more adventurous with the suit jacket, we love to see it!
Zay Flowers and Tyler Huntley walking into the stadium. Huntley is wearing a grey hoodie and sweatpants, meh. Zay is wearing a white tank top and large gold chain with work wear style matching tan jacket and pants. It looks like if a longshoreman was on a catwalk. He's also flashing his dimple; 10/10 smile Roquan Smith looking fine as hell in black slacks and a black turtleneck with a brown zip up jacket that looks like it's either velvet or suede. He's got shiny black dress shoes and is wearing sunglasses that look like something a charismatic version of the devil would wear in a movie Tyler Loop has ditched the 3 piece suit and is wearing nice looking brown dress shoes, grey pants and a very dark purple corduroy jacket. He no longer has the "wearing my first communion suit and aviators because it makes me look like James Bond" energy

So it's still snowing here.

(For context, we shoveled the deck yesterday morning)
The same deck as in the quoted post but now even snowier! There's about 10 inches piled up. Hard to tell in the picture but it's also currently snowing (tiny flakes because it's actually cold: ~25 degrees) This will likely melt by the end of October.

So, I'm not harvesting those carrots until the snow melts this afternoon (it's 33 right now)
Potted plants on a deck. They are covered in about 3 inches of snow

No one has ever loved her in her whole entire life
Toast the black cat giving the evil eye to the camera because I stopped petting her to take a picture

Somehow, even as a blob with eyes, she's a vibe
A very zoomed in photo of Toast the black cat. She is a mostly indistinguishable blob with ears and two yellow eyes looking right at the camera

Yes, yes, it's time to hate on the abomination that is provel "cheese"

I will always hate on provel, look at this shit
A plastic container of Provel "cheese" It kind of looks like udon noodles, but that's an insult to udon, this is just an unholy mass of weird strings that have been extruded from some machine, they're just as plastic as the container they come in

Lamar Jackson is 28, so I guess that explains it
Is it simply that there is some sort of cosmic black hole into which all 27-year-olds fall upon their birthday, only re-emerging to success and acclaim as a beautiful 29-year-old butterfly? We cannot discount the possibility.

Ok now observe THIS tomato!
A Mr Stripey varietal tomato held in my hands. I am not a small woman and the tomato is completely filling my hands. It's approximately 5.5in by 4.5in by 3.5in. Yes I got out a ruler to measure it

Watching a press conference about a hypothetical Baltimore professional sports team seems like it would be stressful, I guess that's a bright side to the fact that THERE ARE NO PROFESSIONAL SPORTS TEAMS IN BALTIMORE

Observe my tomato!
Extremely large slices of a "Mr Stripey" varietal tomato. It's very meaty and is mostly yellow with red stripes

Fortunately (?) the people to blame are apparently buddies so you can blame them all

A panel from the Calvin and Hobbes strip where Calvin has been transmogrified into an owl. He was just told that owls don't go to school and he's singing "zip-a-dee-doo-DAH zip-a-dee-ay! My oh my, what a wonderful day!" His little owl legs are taking a step in the same way as the owl in the quoted post
