Started @95hannahlouise.bsky.social’s big 30th birthday with breakfast in bed.

Now ending it with a nice steak dinner, baked potato and corn.

Happy birthday, Hannah! Pence and I love you 💜😘

Great info! You linked the race’s twitter, but it looks like they haven’t posted in a year. Have they moved to this app or another where they post more frequently? Facebook is fine, I just don’t normally check it as often.

Pence is finally calmed down and resting after storms all day. She’s found a new home on a different couch today where she hangs out in the living room with us now!

A hot toddy counts as celebrating #StPatricksDay, right??

Trying to fight off the start of a cold so bourbon and honey flavored Theraflu is my drink of choice to celebrate today!
