31 years ago, someone gifted me a #Hallmarkn #sxifi #Xmas ornament. Today I have an entire sci fi tree! It is glorious. These ornaments are the only thing I’ve ever collected. I have ships, cruisers, figures, challenge coins…it is my joy every December. They bring me joy. #Starwars #Startrek

From a family meal to a service project, this week was a needed break. Now putting the tree up - it’s glorious! I’ve been collecting sci-fi ornaments for 31 years, a project that lights me up. Best theme tree ever. Photos starting on Monday. Find your joy y’all. #holidays #weekend #family #scifi

Happy #Caturday to those who celebrate! Princess Eudora was engrossed by the installers carrying solar panels up a ladder this week. She’s a bit of micro manager! #cat #cats #tortie #weekend @fantasyyeti.bsky.social

Happy Harvest! Grateful for this 🦋 #community keeping me sane w/independent journalists, dad #jokes & #animal pics. #Grateful for our local pantry & for all of us working together to keep it stocked. Grateful the kids & grand dog are visiting, for the food I’ve prepared & Alice’s Restaurant! 🥧

This is shaping up to be a strange holiday. Over half of my guests for the big meal are sick. Urgent care kind of sick with the #flu & bronchitis. And I was worried about #Covid. So many leftovers… #Thanksgiving #food #fluseason

Help #Caturday! Princess Eudora took advantage of extra chairs this week. Also, she is annoyed we are looking at her. #cat #cats #pets #wfm

Finding #joy is critical right now. Tonight @fantasyyeti.bsky.social and I left the house to celebrate our friends 50th birthday. Lovely gathering of people from all across his life. Loved the #bourbon cocktails at Remedy in #Bucktown, #Chicago. #weekend #saturday #happyhour #emptynestingisawful

Happy No Kings Day to all who celebrated! Peaceful resistance by coming together, demonstrating our values and communicating to our leaders this is not right is critical. Show up so others know they are not alone. I am so proud. #nokings #nokingsday #peace #resist #community #chicagosky #chicago

I don’t know who needs to see this but Rosebud on Taylor is still open & awesome! We took a needed break after work last night - @fantasyyeti.bsky.social and I sat outside, people watched and enjoyed a wonderful meal. It reminded of warm evenings as an undergrad at #UIC. #Chicago #restaurants

Back to Chicagoland after working in #Miami, Florida, for a week. Seems I brought the humidity back w/me. It’s can be 100 degrees and I’m still taking walks, birding & drinking #coffee. The bonus in Miami is spotting lizards everywhere! #travel #work #worktravel 🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎💚

I too am a sucker for a good soundtrack. They become a milestone in my movie viewing history and timeless.

This evening at Berger Park, #Chicago lake front. Falafel, a long walk along the lake front, a band playing at a cafe, thrifting on Broadway. #summer #summervibe #chicagosky

Wait. I thought Chicago was a hell…
