Russell was begging for scratches and who was I to deny him…he got a lot of scratches.

Decided to get out and enjoy the weather on the first day of the New Year. 🌤️ Russell had a great time exploring one of the local parks. 😄🐾

Well, I finally finished it! 🎉 It only took a year (I bought this back in October of 2021) but I finally finished building the Super Mario 64™ Question Mark Block, aka, the "?" block from various Mario games.

I have a notoriously bad memory for my own personal history but two big things I remember playing with as a child: Legos and Nintendo. Not only was it fun to build, but as I was slowly combining piece after piece, attaching set to set, I was remembering all the fun I had playing Super Mario 64 back in the ’90s. 😁 It was quite the nostalgia train for me.

This was one of the most complicated Lego sets I’ve ever built and I had an absolute blast building this but now comes the hard part: finding somewhere to store / place / show-off. 😅

Lazy Supervisor

Of course, Russell supervised most of the construction…in his slipshod and lazy manner. 😁

I think he’s going to be getting a demotion. 🤣

Note: This post is from my old site and was ported over into Micro.Blog when I consolidated from two sites into one. All of the migrated posts can be found here.

Russell was chasing the sun, poor little muffin. 😹

The cold came in over the weekend and I never saw his head again… 🥱😸

Sleepy boy…he woke us up and herded us into the living room so he could take a nap… 😅😴🥰

Russell was eyeing my breakfast this morning… 😋🐶

Sleepy kitty… 🐱😴

Of course, as soon as the couch has been cleaned, this messy monster decided it was time to continue his campaign against cleanliness.

Someone was eyeing my dinner, hoping I’d look away… 🤣

Russell is annoyed with me, he can’t seem to understand I have to work right now instead of giving him head scratches. 🤣

He’s waiting for an important phone call.

Russel is basking in the sun and silently judging me for not sharing my lunch… 🤣

Begging for food and being quite the adorable nuisance… 🥰🐈📷

Cute ‘lil cardinal was right outside my window most of the early afternoon, snacking from the buffet. 😄
