The Almost Daily Bean

Every now and then, I allow cuddles.

Behold! My new throne.

He’s in another dimension

A valentine from Public Health of Seattle and King County. A man shivers in bed while a smiling lady in a red mask shows off her bandage on her arm. Text: Noses are red Ice packs are blue I'm vaxed so miss me with severe symptoms of flu.

A valentine from Public Health of Seattle and King County. Two lady scientists shrug lackadaisically. Text reads: My love for you can't be explained by science. Just like the new federal vaccine guidelines.

A valentine from Public Health of Seattle and King County. Protesters in Minneapolis wear thick clothes and hold signs of support for immigrant neighbors. Text reads: To the health departments in the Twin Cities: Love unites us. Our hearts are with you.

Oh my GOD King County Public Health is just wilding out for Valentines Day (and a lovely one).

NOW FOR AN BIG WASH

My collection of fluffy beds has expanded.

Behold my greatness!

If you don’t have a box to lounge in this Boxing Day, a comfy fuzzy bed will do just as well.

Yay snuggles!

Maximum comfort achieved.

Where did his ears go?
