Autistic fibro runner, writer, musician, cat enthusiast. Over 50. Fan obsessed (mostly BNHA but other nerdy stuff too). Coffee obsessed. Weird. NSFW. ADHD.

Just started actual training for my March marathon. 6.5 miles, and a hojicha einspanner to celebrate. I always do a before and after photo shoot. My weight isn't an issue, but my SHAPE always changes dramatically while in training, and I like to see the difference. (not bad for 52 with 2 kids!)

when the chemistry is so good i can spend years reading fanfiction about the same two people falling in love in nearly identical scenarios

In the same way that the invention of photography incentived the development of abstract art, the silver lining to this immense dark cloud is that a type of "dirty" art will be incentivized. One that revels in ugliness and the vulnerability of human error. The end of auto-tune.

I'm extremely susceptible to bribes. Even if I'm bribing myself. Sooooooo...I just ordered a box of these assholes. They'll live with my husband until I 'earn' them (work on a project I'm having trouble starting). Hopefully it won't be a repeat of the gachapon 'oops, all Endeavors' fiasco.

Picture depicts eight (seven, really) stupidly cute cats designed after the My Hero Academia characters Deku, Shoto, Eraserhead, Present Mic, (not you, Endeavor), Hawks, Mirko, and Dabi. The poster will absolutely make some of them kiss (NOT YOU, ENDEAVOR)

I was finally able to pick up my prize from the West Central Illinois Quilt Shop Hop. Now if I could only get my new sewing machine up and running...

An arranged variety of quilting supplies, including a purple rolling tote, two packages of pastel fabrics, batting, thread, and square templates. Someday the components might come together to make a small quilt or table runner.

Took my mom for x-rays and post surgery follow-up in the midwest heat. We decided we needed a treat afterwards. Oreo. Reeses. Cheesecake. Love the food scene in LA, but I DO miss Culvers!

5.5 miles. Iced caramel oat toffee nut latte (half sweet). 2.5 miles home. it was already 84 degrees when I got home, but at least I avoided the upper 90s later in the day!

Pigeon and Goose. This is around two weeks after the two were introduced. They never so much as hissed at each other, and were snuggling nearby after a couple days. And now... They are just the Bestest Boys. I'm so glad my niece adopted Goose!

I've been more or less keeping up with my running while helping my mom out, other than the entire week where it was either raining or 100+ degrees. This was my first run long enough to get to a good coffee shop. Half sweet almond milk cafe miel.

A middle aged sweaty woman with dark hair and eyes holds a large, delicious iced coffee.

I'm staying with my mom for a few weeks while she recovers from a broken hip. She's getting aroun surprisingly well, but mostly just goes to the bathroom or her office. My main job is cooking. Last night was garlic shrimp fried rice.

Ace (Now Goose) has arrived in Illinois! He was a fantastic traveler. The big guy is his new brother, Pigeon. No one consulted Pigeon about getting a little brother.

A smol 12 week old tuxedo kitten tries out a fleecy gray and white bed. It absolutely dwarfs him.A lorg tuxedo cat curls up in a cozy white and gray bed. Unlike his tiny little brother he fills up the ENTIRE bed. With no room. Especially not room for upstart little kittens.
