Can you tell her to set a timer? Or do you have to wash the chicken pot pie off your hands and do it manually? πŸ€” she's very cute!

My actual fear is the releasing part of trap and release.

Last time the ickle mousie ran out of the trap up my leg into the sleeve of my coat and i screamed like a girl 🀣

I was hearing something that sounded like mouse chewing in the kitchen the other day. It stopped when i pulled the stove away from the wall.

Then i saw how yucky it was back there and scrubbed (everything) and put the stove back and no noises since πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

Maybe the grime was snacking on itself idk.

Title page from book: I Can Fix This and other lies i told myself while parenting my struggling child, by Kristina Kuzmič.

When 24 πŸ’ž was sad and had #suicidal thoughts my sober #AA friend suggested I do something nice for myself every day, even though she knew it would feel like a dumb idea

Most days all I could think to do for myself was walk to the store 4a cookie.

This book has better ideas.

PS 24 is doing great.

"Nothing must happen to you
No, what am I saying
Everything must happen to you
And it must be wonderful."

Finished my first book of 2026.

Last year I lifted weights 51 times and read 107 books. That's an honest inventory, like it or not. (I'm inclined not to like the proportions) 🫣

I thought this was depressing and tedious but then I was like wait, what? then I loved it by the end.

Redbrown pitbull with his front paws hanging off a gray sofa. His right eyebrow is cocked. Highly skeptical.

It took 3 calls to the pharmacy and 4 calls to the vet to get Boo's prozac refilled... bc the vet let his prescriber id lapse...?

Boo has so many questions.

We are still #sober.

Going to get some more fancy thumb bandaids while i pick that up.

Six gift wrappped xmas presents in a cardboard box and laundry basket. The wrapping paper is shiny silver with houses in blue, white and red -- or white tissue paper with big green dots.

Worked out this morning, cheered me up no end. The dumbbell i dropped on my injured thumb opened it up again. 🫣 Did not text pix to friends πŸ™ƒ No signs of infection.

Without that thumb i can wrap 6 presents per hour.

Should do the ones for mailing off first. Did not.

Happy #sober day friendsπŸ™β™₯️
