#averygayface

So full of love for my boy who knows he’s not allowed on my puzzle but is intrigued by it, so he’s got his two front paws BARELY on it watching me put pieces in.

First up: date night / weekend:

When I started sitting by @hyperfix8edcryptid in bio 101 all the way back in fall 2012, the first real conversation we had was about Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition — so when Leah saw that the symphony was going to be performing it, we knew we had to go! 🎻

The next day we walked along the wooded trails just outside our new neighborhood (we moved to a new place in November, same city but now free of our crappy landlord) — it was chilly and drizzly all day so we had the place practically to ourselves (apart from the birds, who were plentiful). Child me would be thrilled to learn I now live walking distance from a woods that has a lake, creek, spring-fed pond, and community garden! Also, Leah found a fallen rose on the path and presented it to me with a flourish 💕🌹

So that was a lovely weekend. 2023 has already hurled some curveballs at us all in a row (scarily sick kitty, canceled surgery due to insurance probs, family crisis), so we’ve both had some Sad Times and a lot of Tired days — yet I’m feeling pretty darn content with life overall right now. I feel like our new home fits us really well, and it’s been fun decorating it. It’s still a little messy but check out my craft space (the trans flag hides two shelves with storage bins full of crap haha):

And then there’s our bedroom walls! Leah’s got hats and stuff hung up on cute hooks on her side, while I’ve decked out my side with my rock and thimble collections as well as a bunch of art I’ve gathered over the years:

So yeah, slowly but steadily *kronk voice* it’s all coming together.

As spring peeks its head around the corner along with the daffodils, I’ve been dreaming up ideas for the yard — moss and clover, beans and tomatoes, peppers and pollinators…

We are also planning to add some kitty-proofing to the top of our privacy fence because we let our cats out there, but Flapjack keeps jumping the fence and forcing me to chase after him before he can get far. Bastard boy. The culprit:

Aaaand his sister Nerys, who finds her own ways to be a bastard and would totally jump the fence too if her old arthritic hips allowed it — as it is she takes her joy from looking out the kitty window:

@hyperfix8edcryptid and i celebrated our 4th anniversary up in Ohio this past week. It was so good to see our little nieces, my bro, and my parents 🌈💚

Also look at the frog and toad print she got me it’s too perfect 😭 My mom’s verdict on it: “awwwww cute…I didn’t know they were gay!”

Got a helix piercing as a birthday present to myself!!

Since it’s my bday (or will be at midnight) you legally have to tell me i’m cute. to entice you, i’ll throw in some kitty pics for free
