I feel like this was my reward for getting out of bed this morning

Nice clouds out tonight

When I walked into my office this morning I froze in the doorway and hissed "A child has been sitting at my desk" so I guess I'm finally becoming the storybook witch I wanted to be when I was 8

Kind of ominous sky tonight

Might take a little mental health break from mastodon, see y’all when I see you 💜

I was in the middle of feeling just absolutely wrenchingly miserable and then my dog simultaneously sneezed and farted incredibly loudly and then looked at me with such shock and betrayal in her eyes that it made me laugh, pets are good

Now I just need to figure out what sounds like someone unlocking my security door because every time it happens my adrenaline goes through the roof

Been trying to figure out what I’ve been hearing all day in my house that sounds like someone knocking or hammering haphazardly and it’s the wind knocking the wooden block on my chimes into the back wall of my house

It’s warm enough outside right now that I can sit on my back steps and listen to distant trains, easily my favorite part of living where I live

Do you ever get about five minutes into a movie and you just instinctively know that it was written because someone found a great location and they had to come up with a quick justification to film there

I’m home sick today, what movie should I watch?

in addition to hives, I'm now wheezing and coughing and lightheaded, what the heck did I get into

Sherlock Holmes but instead of solving a murder he's trying to figure out why I'm currently breaking out in hives all over

Good morning!! I hope everyone’s Monday goes really well

I’m in a restaurant and they’re playing some soft plinky piano music that sounds like it would play over a world-weary PI in the third act of a noir film who’s stopped trudging through the heavy rain for a moment after a long difficult night to glance into the windows of a diner where all the people seem happy, eating breakfast together in small groups in the golden light, and the PI reflects that you never truly know a person, not really

My dog’s car anxiety seems to be getting worse and I’m not sure what to do about it. I think some of it is due to my currently driving a different car than the one I’ve had since she was a puppy but all the things that helped her get over it before (treats, driving to special places) aren’t helping and it’s not just my car that stresses her, it’s mom’s car and my brother’s car now as well

It sounds like there are two or three different types of owls and also a hawk in the vicinity of the park today

It’s always nice to go to the park and see the wildlife
