for a couple years now I very rarely paint my nails but before I started working out regularly they got Real Long and sometimes Very A Lot
The poster a few years ago, wearing a berry colored ribbed top. Most of their face is obscured behind their hands, which prominently feature rainbow satiny pastel polished nails that grow perhaps a centimeter past each fingertip. One gray eye peeks out from behind them.

warning, mirror mugging, felt cute might delete, wish I could put this under a content warning for secondhand embarrassment, &c
The poster, Erin, in a red and green tartan blazer, velvet top, and big satin red bow on the chest. They are pinkish pale with their hair tied back in twisted pigtail buns. They are glancing sideways as though checking their shot on the phone screen.

Went to a Christmas party in very different modes of holiday dress
The poster, Erin, in a deep red and green wool tartan blazer, chin rested on the shoulder of spouse Frank, in a dark green hoodie that says "tis the damn season" across the chest in a cutesy garland graphic.

Earlier I tried to document how he was art on this very couch, but he said pets not pics 🐈
A gray cat on a soft blue blanket in the middle of a couch full of quirky pillows. A gray tabby stretching theatrically amidst quirky pillows. A gray tabby, blurry as he is on the move toward the photographer, requesting pets.

arm temporarily out of service 🐈
A soft gray marble tabby cat using a human forearm as a pillow. There are four actual pillows in the shot but he chose the forearm.

also featuring cat 🐈‍⬛
Elliott the tuxie cat's face, eyes contentedly closed. Elliott looking alert, his tail extended, otherwise in a loaf shape on a wintry red, white, and silver quilt. Zoomed out shot of Elliot on the bed.

Not a magnificent teal stained glass endearment, but not bad.
A view into a corner of a bedroom with teal and glass green walls, featuring a buoy with a lighthouse painted onto it and artwork of the Morgan, an historic whaling ship, at port. The ceiling light fixture's glass is clear and textured in waves, reminiscent of a lighthouse's fresnel lens. The quilt on the bed clashes a bit in a wintry red, white, and silver pattern.

Maybe I'll make the CrossFit 12 days of Christmas workout my default for when I don't feel like doing whatever is programmed 🤔🏋️
A whiteboard depicting a modified CrossFit 12 days of Christmas workout. A heart rate chart showing about 30 minutes steadily in the orange "vigorous" zone.

Gaze upon my sleepo beepos 🐈😴🐈‍⬛
Two sleeping cats: a tuxie who is long, liquidly occupying the nook between a human's blanket-covered legs, and a gray tabby who is curled up.

paw 🐾 🐈‍⬛
Elliott, a tuxie cat, extends a paw possessively onto a human's sweater-clad arm. Elliott's face, his orange-brown eyes big and pupils small with daylight. Elliott with his nose up and to the side as though he is showing off how pink it is, and his dapper white whiskers.

But most importantly: cats 🐈🎄🐈‍⬛
Two young cats sitting under a Christmas tree, intrigued by a shiny golden plastic bauble hanging near the floor. The same two kittens. The tuxie has seized the branch with the bauble and is biting it. The gray tabby kitten walks sedately out from under the tree.

Handmade ornaments of which I am fond 🎄🦋🐦❄️🐈‍⬛
A hand-painted swallowtail butterfly ornament hanging deep within a Douglas fir's limbs, lit with warm white lights. A birdhouse ornament with a red roof and a cardinal motif. A circular blue ornament with negative space in the shape of a snowflake in the center. A pale green folk art heart ornament with a small white or orange cat painted on it, appearing to bound among stars.

Stayed up late putting ornaments on the tree. 🎄❄️
A room with a sleeping guy on a couch and a broad Christmas tree. The view toward the tree from the dining area, prominently featuring a crowned stained glass kitchen table lamp with swans and pink water lilies in blue water.

Won a game of Daybreak on round 6. Never had that happen before. Loss and Damage Fund was a huge contributor, as were cards that allowed flipping and removing crises. 🌅 🎲 #climatesky

Put up my mom's tree and ours in a fit of "quick, there's snow, act festive" yesterday 🎄❄️
A living room that is about 60% couch and 20% Douglas for, with yellow vertical striped walls and white tree lights.

Snow/seasonal decor 🎄❄️🐈‍⬛
Sun shining through oak, cherry, and sweetgum boughs dusted with snow. A line of colorful stake lights in the snow. A black cat contemplating hijinks with a small Christmas tree and strand of white lights.

Meanwhile, Elliott has undergone a phase change 🐈‍⬛🐈
A tuxie cat with warm brown eyes looks at you. He is in a loaf shape. A tuxie cat in exultantly twisted into a U shape. He is kind of twisting into a gray tabby's personal space. The tabby looks up at the camera like "are you seeing this shit?"

He likes when I flop him across my lap for pets but then at some point the game becomes "catch the hand" 🐈
Teddy, a gray tabby kitten missing his right eye, is on his side, looking up at the camera and reaching toward the viewer with a paw imploringly. Teddy leans into a pinkish hand scritching between his ears. Teddy is a blur that appears intent on catching the hand that has been petting him.

A white plate with plant matter on it, looking kind of like a dried spice. It smells not unlike matcha. Little quarter-sphere papery dark brown seeds in a clear plastic container over a manila colored notebook cover.
