Yuji’s bedtime biscuits 🐱
guess i’m sleeping on the sofa tonight 😴
(he twitches at the end because my son turned on the dryer & it startled him)

Yuji is stalking me from his tunnel for a sneak attack. he already ran Kylo over to the other couch. happy #caturday

the wild tree that covered 80% of the side of my house is now 90% gone. a few stumps & runners remain, plus this pile of what i removed. i hated removing it & promise to plant something intentional, native, & wildlife-friendly in its place.

that nightmare was still fvcking with my head, so i went outside to see if nature would clear my mind. Kylo & i went for little a walk through the woods. it’s nice outside 😊 i tried to get a pic of a woodpecker on a tree, but we scared it off. here’s the sun rising through the tree instead ☀️

voting so far
November 15, 2025 at 6:58 PM
i purposely showed up to the gender reveal party “late” because i’m always the first to arrive. i was still the first to arrive 😅

one of the games is to vote your gender: i voted boy, my son voted girl. i may post more as the party goes full swing.

we’ll start with a Christmas tree 🎄

fail of the day: Yuji knocked over a pen cup on the desk & i called him Minx 😕 now i’m sad because i miss her

went outside to see why Kylo was barking (deer) & saw that one of my azaleas has an autumn flower. a second tiny bud is peeking out from the blur in the back. thank you to Kylo & the white-tailed deer for the tiniest glimmer of hope.

wedding reception fun

still trying to name a male Asura
(GW2 naming convention 👇)
i wanted to use Olykk (Kylo reversed + a K) but it was taken 😑
now trying combos of Kylo & Yuji
Kyujj / Kyyuj
Jikyyl (sounds like jiggle 😄)
Yukyyl or Yukyll (you kill? 😶)
Jikk 🤔
Yukk 🤭
Loyujj 🙄
overthinking 🙃
moving on to a new tactic...

good morning 🌞
new day & trying to stay positive

Kylo’s sniff-fari walk was a quick one this morning; his choice, not mine.

no Caturday pic yet as Yuji currently has the zoomies

trying a new coffee today. hope the light roast doesn’t give me jitters 🫨😅
October 25, 2025 at 12:32 PM
so here are my toons. i have at least one of each race, but not each profession. i must have gotten bored with the Revenant & Engineer because they aren't leveled up. no Guardian & a free character slot so obviously i need either a Sylvari or Asura Guardian 🤔 😉

maybe “nearly” was too kind 😂😂😂

back in our Plumbobber Challenge gameplay, our heir, Ember, has aged up to teen. she rolled hipster as her fashion choice & i'm not familiar but did my best 😬 the teen plum she rolled was volunteering & she's quit the scouts as she had maxed it out, so there was no reason to stay.

call it what it is: terrorism
October 13, 2025 at 5:01 PM
the fight gave her spontaneous rage. i guess use caution when eating her salsa cuz it's gonna be extra picante 😄
October 12, 2025 at 2:51 PM
Trey may be too Proper to start a fight, but Aayla isn't 😅
October 12, 2025 at 2:48 PM
Happy Sunday!
I tried to sneak in a quick walk before today’s rain starts (remnants of TS Jerry). Kylo made it a long walk & a sniff-fari that lasted nearly an hour! he also found another eastern box turtle about halfway through. this is a new guy…markings are not the same as the last two 🐢 😊
October 12, 2025 at 12:55 PM
OMFG 🤣
she rode up the steps (platforms) & back down through the wall!
ain't nothin' stopping her!
question mark indeed, Ember, indeed
your mom's gonna be mad if you tear up her flower bed
this game cracks me up
October 11, 2025 at 6:04 PM
she made it out of the pond & now she's running over the cat. somebody take this bike away from her 😂
October 11, 2025 at 5:57 PM
i don't remember what the Plumbobber Challenge even was (I'll look it up in a sec). for now, i'm getting everyone settled in their new house - two bedrooms with two adults & three kids was no bueno. we are so far loving this great lot built by Aveline, so thank you to her! 😊
