It's that kind of day. Only substitute "reality" for "Photo"
The really old Facebook Image Feedback dialog box. It reads "What's Going On?" followed by four options. Option 1: It's annoying or not interesting Option 2: I'm in this photo and I don't like it Option 3: I think it shouldn't be on Facebook Option 4: It's Spam Option 2 (I'm in this photo and I don't like it) is selected.

Image shows an orange cat’s belly and back legs, sitting on a human lap. The human is holding the cat’s left rear paw and the cat’s right rear leg is outstretched Upper center of the image, on the human’s left knee is a pair of cat nail clippers. The cat is very unhappy and this is not at all how she envisioned cuddle-time with dad when she jumped into his lap.

Image shows a very green back yard. At the bottom is part of a concrete porch painted blue. Both a gray and red stone walkway are visible on either side of a support post for the porch overhang. A couple of potted bushes are visible in the background in front of a brown wooden fence Image shows dog lying on a blue patterned rug on a brown wooden floor, happily covered in a brown towel, getting dried off after being out in the rain. It’s his favorite thing ever! (After food. And pets. And people. And food.)

Tonight's dinner by Shado, included a slightly fancier than normal plating.

Farfalle Pasta in Pesto Cream Sauce topped with Pan-seared Chicken Thighs (dressed only with Salt and Pepper) with a side of roasted brussel sprouts drizzled with a Brown Sugar/Honey/Lemon Juice/Olive Oil glaze.
A hand on the left side of the image holds a white plate bearing the meal described in the post. The pesto pasta topped with chicken is on the left side, and 8 brussel sprout halves carefully arranged are on the right side.

Assembled Rabble of the Internet, I give you a Venn Diagram.

#ADHDSky #ExecutiveDysfunction #ADHDLife
A Venn Diagram with two overlapping circles labelled “Chores I don’t want to do” and “Chores I need to do” The two circles intersect by more than 99% indicating these two data sets are the same.

Image shows several animals in a bedroom: a giant brown dog lying on a rug, a gray car sitting on the foot of a bed, a ginger cat sitting on a box, and a black cat peeking around the corner of the bed. All are waiting expectantly for their bedtime treats.

I don’t know whether to be proud, or ashamed, that my dog understands how to eat food off a fork. Gently. He has better fork manners than some humans I know (including me)

Miss Velcro taking breakfast on the terrace this morning, instead of in the boudoir.
Image shows an orange and white cat lying on a brown and tan blanket, eating from a plate of gooshy food in front of her.

Dear Kitten: why are there nose prints all over the TV screen? #catsky
An image of a flatscreen TV with a reflection od 5 lightbulbs. All around the bulbs are several smears indicative of a cat poking its nose into the screen as it tries to catch the moving images on it.

Velcro, the amazing orange kitty was all comfy asleep in mom’s lap until I brought mom some Chicken Tortilla Soup. Then Velcro woke up and demanded @lys1022.bsky.social share it with her.

This was supposed to be burritos, but I’m a #dumbass and didn’t see the tortillas until it was too late.

Twice in one day, this void kitty has graced my lap with his presence.

I’ve had five cats in my life. Velcro is the only one that sleeps like this regularly. Is my #Cat broken? Is this normal? #Catsky @jortsthecat.bsky.social

I HAVE MADE FIRE!
This fixture has been busted for over a year (the last bulb somehow welded itself into the socket and literally won’t come out). Tired of waiting on the landlord to fix it. $20 part, 15 minutes of work, and playing with live electricity got it working. I am my wife’s hero today.
A photo if a kitchen pantry stocked with various things that aren’t important. What is important is the light fixture in the ceiling that is actually emitting light for the first time in over a year.

We may have finally achieved the perfect ratio of #WhiteStuff to #TastyCookie.
A forefinger and a thumb holding two megastuff oreos, each with one cookie removed, together as a single cookie. That’s a lot of creamy oreo filling!
