I'll need to think on this. I read. A lot. I used to sing. A lot. I write - just for me. I'm a gay man past 40 - so, basically, dead.
My Dearest You, I'm glad to be seen. It was not decided until early afternoon that I would attend. I needed to make sure I felt comfortable leaving Bella for a few hours. She's much improved but it's been a very very very tough week. But she and Ivy were fine.

And here they are, the Secular Pie Thursday offerings as described in the ALT-text.
All in honor of the sacred holiday as celebrated by the Beloved @duchessgoldblatt.bsky.social- who has made this world infinitely better, despite having no corporeal form in it. #SecularPieThursday

Taking Bella to the vet at 1:30. She's got what I think is a yeast infection. She's eating and drinking, but she's really worrying the area and it's affecting her ability to walk and sit comfortably. Her parents are on a train in Europe but talked to the vet, as did I. Wish me luck. Poor baby.

There are few things more un-nerving to me than someone else's dog or child in my care and they begin to feel unwell.
Poor Bella had a rough day and a half which means I had a VERY rough day and a half.

Why am I up at 4am? Well, some people don't really respect personal space when they think it's time for breakfast. Actually, they barely leave me space all night long. But, that's what uncles are for. 10 days of heaven. And, uhm, 4 hours sleep maximum.

Ten days (nine, now) with Bella and Ivy, my favorite pals with whom I sit. (Don't tell the others.)

If you're wondering where your ancient gay uncle has disappeared to on December 20 ... I can tell you.

Reading and pups, until Carlito hits the court at 12 - which will, of course, be more like 12:30. I can wait. More time for reading. Pretty certain this is a one day book and future Netflix show starring and ep'd by Reese.

It's been a busy busy stressful week of caretaking, but I'm finally getting to read THE FOUR SPENT THE DAY TOGETHER, by Chris Kraus. Never read any of their work before.

I remember days.
Or, at least, I try.
But as years go by
They're a sort of haze.
And the bluest ink
Isn't really sky.
And at times I think
I would gladly die
For a day of sky.

I brought my lemon tree in for the winter. I love my mini-garden in my bedroom. At least something is alive in here.

To say I'm shocked would be an understatement. I'll take my wins where I can get them. I bet justices cthomaga and alitolottajackass are throwing goons. I hope they give themselves coronaries.

Lol. I only realized after posting that most people don't know my name is Smith. No reason they would lol. I've long been a fan of Smith No.45, peppermint tea. I usually use the leaves but the teas bags are great too.

My younger sister was on a month long cross country jaunt (I am the only poor sibling, lol) and brought me back some tea (and also a tote from Ann Patchett's Parnassus Books). I'm very very happy she's back in our hometown.

Maryland Senate President Bill Ferguson is wrong, and unilaterally blocking redistricting - just like he assisted in allowing ice-thugs to contract with local sheriffs in the state. Please call him and tell him he's wrong and we must redistrict. 410-841-3600.

Starting a wagering pool Bi-fecta (so to speak) about the upcoming AMERICAN HORROR STORY season.
1) How many episodes in before Ryan Murphy has Evan Peters ass on display? AND
2) How many Tennessee Williams-esque monologues will Jessica Lange deliver?
Go.

Thank you, @kimberlyburns.bsky.social . Arrived this morning. Can't wait. I know she's in DC tonight, but we're afraid to drive in to DC anymore. It's just too heartbreaking and scary to see maga-vaders roaming with guns.

This is what I call hope and fortitude. My dwarf lilac has lost all of its leaves, yet, it has gifted me these little blooms!
