My mother has finally started using emojis. I told her I was coming to visit soon and this was her response. I don’t have the heart to tell her it doesn’t means what she thinks it does. 😮‍💨 [🍃]

Freddy Pickles says hi as well. This is him on a therapy dog visit at a fire station. They were learning how to use new AED machines and Freddy needed to “help” perform CPR

Freddy had to go to the emergency vet today 😢 he probably has a herniated disc (he had surgery for one in 2018) so he’s on meds and rest for the next few weeks. Breaks my heart. 😔

I wrote this haiku from blackout poetry a while back and I’m still proud of how it came together.

We cannot know true
love without also knowing
the price of heartbreak.

I found this photo the other day and have been using it to comment on so many things. It’s been very useful.

When your head is so heavy with knowledge you have to prop it up using your favorite toy.

Got LAST SACRIFICE off my bookshelf to start it tonight, and it came from Borders! I vaguely remember still working at Borders when it came out. I loved that job (as much as anyone can love working in retail) and miss that store so much. I dream about it at least once a week.
