A small blonde dog and a small black dog sitting on a teal patterned blanket.

My dogs are kind of (okay, super) adorable.

Yesterday was one of those days.

Those wanna scream/cry/pull your hair out stressful days.

And I am *so glad* I gave up alcohol 662 days prior, because if yesterday had also included whiskey or wine, it would have still been bad *and* I'd have a headache right now.

Finished Seasons 1-3 of Ted Lasso. Moving on to Abbott Elementary.

A small, blonde mixed breed dog in navy and lavender pajamas with neon daisies in the pattern.

My sweet girl had knee surgery in December, and her recovery has been...an adventure. This is her post-wound inspection + new staples (since she popped her sutures). She liked the pain meds at least. 🤣

Sunday self-care checklist. Do activities you love. Look after your mind and body. Avoid bad habits. Limit your screen time. Eat healthy food.

Here is your self-care checklist for today and everyday! 💛🧡💚💙💜

Over 9000 likes and 100 post cards sold. I feel like we can do better than that. The world needs SciShow!!!

I was just wrapping up my lecture slides + activity for today, which included one of my favorite clips from The West Wing, when we got the notification campus is closed due to power outages and high winds. 😭 I'll still get to use it all next week, but I'm bummed right now. Energy deflated.

*Wicked* isn't as good as everyone is saying it is...

It's better. 🩷💚

(Though a year is an awfully long intermission 😭)

It's not really Thanksgiving (season) until you hear President Bartlet say "I'm proud of you, Charlie."

😍😭

Stop trying to make "Glicked" happen.

Let "Barbenheimer" be what it was - a glorious happenstance that naturally sprung from the weirdness of the Internet.

We don't need to double-feature-mash-up-name EVERYTHING from now on.

🎶This is why we can't have nice things...🎶

Okay, I'm about halfway through *Hot Frosty* on Netflix, and, it's not as terrible as I assumed it would be? Or maybe it's just the right level of terrible that I need right now. ☃️

Related: I keep seeing people complain about Netflix tonight. Is it *just* the fight stream that's messed up, or all of Netflix? Because, like, I wanted to watch *Hot Frosty*... 😂

The boxes of Christmas decorations are coming out of the garage. For years, I was a staunch "no Christmas decor until after Thanksgiving!" believer. Then COVID happened. And then this year's election happened. I'm sick of postponing joy and fun because of a calendar. So, it's tree time! 🎄

I have no real opinion about John Krasinski...

But, People Magazine, WTF? Did we forget Dev Patel exists? Was Manny Jacinto busy? Pedro Pascal not returning your calls? Even if it *had to* be another generic white man, Glen Powell and Jonathan Bailey were RIGHT THERE.

Not perfect, just present is absolutely my motto these days.

Congrats on 1 year, 11 days. I'm at 570 days (about 18 months).

Trying to figure this out. You will find I will mostly ramble about things I like (TV, escape rooms, Broadway musicals, theatre, movies, dogs, etc.).

I have a separate account for my bookish stuff: @dogearedeverything.bsky.social
