Anthy "Thumbs" Klaw

I'll be fine, just very careful for the next few days. It should not be this easy to pull a muscle.

Nobody told me exactly how easy it is to pull muscles when you are over 45. I mean, yeah, I'd heard people talk about throwing out their back by sneezing. I didn't sneeze, I just twisted the wrong way while sitting down. Now my left hip hates me. Getting up from sitting is a new form of torture.

Happy Birthday!

Our local library is really nice and quite close to the bakery/chocolate shop.

I was such an MTV kid that when I listen to old songs, quite often I hallucinate/play back the videos as I listen to the music. I didn't realize this until I listened to a particular song and became aware of the images playing in my head. I'm fascinated by my brain, it holds on to some weird stuff.

As a child that grew up when 80's music was happening, it is surreal to listen to some of those songs and realize that we've been living this bullshit right along. It is undeniably right in our faces now, but it was always there, if you listen to the lyrics. Music is history, unvarnished.

That sounds like an amazing sandwich - enjoy your fancy food.

Emailed my Senators. Tried to call and leave a message - voicemail is full. Keep up the calls and emails, folks. Healthcare is important to us all and to threaten it for trans people is to threaten it for us all.

Fermented food is good for the gut?

Pick one thing to do. You got this!

The answer is actually just "all" the pickles. You need a pickle bar.

I'm so glad she's home, even if helping her get better is a challenge. I hope that you can figure out how to mix her treatment with something she loves.

Still have Covid. Still annoyed at the people who gave it to me. Still annoyed at myself for exposing others. Wear a mask, protect yourself and others.

Turns out the pharmacy got the 'script, but couldn't be arsed to tell us that it was out of stock or that they didn't know when they would have it in stock. I called another pharmacy, they had it in stock, went above and beyond, and have gained a new customer.

This is my life now, an hour+ yesterday trying to get a prescription. Today a half hour trying to get someone at the pharmacy. This is normal, this is our reality. We got spoiled for a time there when we could get almost anything within a day's time.

Get vaccinated. Wear a mask.

Found out this morning that it is possible for pets to get Covid, after my boy cat has been snuggling with me for the past 24 hours like it was his job. I really hope the kitties don't get it. This sucks and I'm kind of mad at the world right now.

Tested positive for Covid for the first time. Not excited.

Readying for parental visit. Gonna cook, sightsee, and do home maintenance. Unfortunately, can't take them to the cat cafe this visit, because that's how we end up with a new cat and I'm not sure I'm ready for more chaos.

Doctors I trust more than RFK Jr.

We had one that learned to build her web in the corner of our backdoor frame near the light. She got some good food and since the door opens in, we didn't destroy her webs. I love smart spiders.

Soon, I hope.

An illustration of the trolley problem. Track 1 hurts Palestinian, transgender, and gay people. Track 2 hurts Palestinian, transgender, and gay people, as well as women and democracy. But the trolley is depicted as being blown up by a communist with an RPG to protect them all.

A set of four displacer beasts, large six-legged felines with long spike-padded tentacles emerging at the shoulder. The first one is a glossy black, bursting open to reveal energetic purple. The second is grey and white, with red-to-yellow rosettes. The third is a mix of african wild dog patterning with leaves and sundew tendrils on its body. The fourth is deep blue with a cyan aurora pattern.

it's kitties

Had a nice little birthday date with my wifey, @pmfrlyn.bsky.social, today. We went out for lunch, checked out a couple of shops, and walked by the water for a bit. We saw two river otters playing in the water. I think I'm old enough to enjoy simple birthdays.

We may not have fireflies out here in the PNW, but we make up for it with enormous dragonflies in a variety of colors. I've been so happy to see them zooming around.

Yay! Fireflies are awesome and I miss them - we don't have them out here. Enjoy the magic! ❤️

Totally understandable. It's been a lot.

Also Kiss, because it a Song.

When Doves Cry, because it Industrial Prince. I also have a soft spot for Diamonds and Pearls.
