Hahaha I feel so seen. And, yes! I'd love to, just as soon as the weather warms up! 😅

Omg *YES*!!!

Which reminds me, I still need a ferry magnet for my dishwasher or fridge!!!

I fucking need this ferry

My joints hurt and my head hurts and is full of Bad Thoughts™ 😬😭

Someone yeet me to Palm Springs, *please* 😭

Yes!! So fun that you're familiar with and remember them! 😁

Ok, we're well into March now. Time for the temperatures to stay above 40°, even overnight! My achey, stiff ankles and tendency to forget to take my Plaquenil 1-3 days/wk would appreciate it!!! 😭

I have a weird headache (migraine?) and I am 100% blaming the stupid cold windy rainy weather, 😤

A horned sea star that looks like its covered with chocolate chips in a tank with a couple of seahorses

I'm quite obsessed with these chocolate chip sea stars

A road sign that reads, "drive carefully think of the impact you could make" with two people and their books being flung akimbo in opposite directions

Y'all, I cannot with this sign near my place, 😂

Boo!

A ray and other fish swim by overhead the underwater dome

Aquarium day with Former Housemate is the best post-therapy activity

I could be wrong about the speed, it just seems slower than usual!

I feel like the ferries are traveling slower than usual? Maybe orcas or grey whales in Elliott Bay today??
