  • My Partner and I went out to dinner with my little brother and his girlfriend tonight…and it was the best sushi of my life. πŸ£πŸ“·

    Roll of tuna sushi, horizontally cut, next to a stack of spring rolls on a different plate. Roll of fried sushi, coated in an orange sauce.

    So full and so happy. πŸ˜„

  • We went to see the lights at the local botanical gardens this weekend, it was a fantastic evening and the lights were gorgeous; will be posting photos in a day or three… πŸŽ„πŸ“·

    Glowing sign (it says 'GLOW') behind a series of shrubs and in front of trees and light posts.
  • I walked into the bedroom and he turned around to glare at me; evidently interrupting his bird watching wasn’t the best of ideas… 🀣 πŸ“· 🐈

    Grey cat, with yellow eyes, on a bed, looking at the camera.
  • Follow-Up: The IKEA Sonos speaker is working perfectly (which is more than I could ever say of the HomePod Mini stereo set up) this morning; holiday music is flooding the room whilst I’m debugging some legacy Java code. πŸ€“πŸŽ„ (Yes, I had a spare speaker lying around… 🀣) πŸ“·

    Christmas tree with lights and one ornament at the top (a photo frame with no photo for privacy purposes), in front of a record player, with the end of a lamp on the right side of the photo. An IKEA Sonos speaker is on top of the record player, with an 'Ella' record in the middle and a series of objects is on the left side of the record player: three Nintendo amiibo figures (Link, Bowser, and Bokoblin), a Lego penguin, a Jesus stature, and a N64 Lego cube. On top of the cube is a HomePod mini, along with two of the amiibo, and a dried pink rose.
  • Pretty decent veggie burger, especially this far out of the City. πŸ€£πŸ”πŸ“·

    Burger on a plate with fries and sunglasses in the background.
  • We put up the tree last night, with one of my favorite ornaments in a place of prominence. πŸŽ„ We bought more than a few of these beauties in 2020, giving them to a number of Friends. 🀣 πŸ“·

    Christmas tree ornament, with colored lights in the background, hanging from the tree. The ornament is round and white, with the following verbiage in the Friends (the TV show) font: 'The one where we were all quarantined, 2020'
  • Rainy day + lazy cat = nap time πŸ˜ΉπŸ’€πŸˆπŸ“·

    Grey cat, in a grey/green recliner, wedged into the side, between the armrest and a pillow, with his head on the pillow and his eyes closed.
  • Another early morning breakfast with the bestie; between brunches and various thanksgivings / parties, I’m going to put on at least 10 pounds by the end of the year. πŸ€£πŸ³πŸ“·

    Breakfast sandwich (veggie burger, eggs, and cheese on a biscuit with a little bit of purple colored jam) with a wooden toothpick through the middle, the word 'Vegan' on it, on a plate. In the background is a glass of water and a glass of iced coffee.
  • Date Night: Burgers (in my case, a veggie burger) @ Red Robin. πŸ˜‹πŸ”πŸ“·

    Two plates on a dark wood table, on two oval-ish white plates; fries on both of the plates but the plate in the foreground has a knife on it, as well as a burger.
  • First and only peppermint mocha of the holiday season, from the “big” coffee chain. β˜•οΈπŸ“·

    Paper coffee cup, with a Starbucks heat-sleeve, on a table, with ceramic pumpkins in the background and a wireless charging puck.
  • πŸ“· Two Thanksgivings down…I’m honestly not sure how many more to go at this point… 😭🀣

    Various Thanksgiving food (stuffing / dressing, salad, potatoes, cranberry sauce, roll) on a paper plate, with a fork.
  • Brunch for two this morning, my breakfast companion was rather hungry 🀣 (only the one of those plates are for me). πŸ³πŸ“·

    Four plates full of breakfast food, with an omlet, hashbrows, biscuits / gravey, french toast, two servings of tots, and toast...along with two glasses of water and a cup of coffee in a paper cup.
  • He really does look rather regal here but I think he’s trying to lure me into a false sense of security; I still think Alex is upset about the continuing construction in the house. πŸ˜ΌπŸˆπŸ“·

    Grey-white cat staring in the distance, sitting on a black/white carpet, in the sunlight. Behind him is an out-of-focus plant on top of hardwood flooring with a few pieces of carpet beside it.
  • πŸ“· Going on a walk during the lunch break always helps clear my head. πŸ™ƒ

    Tree with yellow and orange leaves, in front of an asphalt paved street.
  • Yup, he’s still not happy with the construction…it’s almost done but I can tell he’s plotting our downfall. πŸ˜ΌπŸ˜ΉπŸˆπŸ“·

    Grey cat, on new (fake) hardwood flooring, in the glow of cloudy daylight, looking into the distance. The flooring is vertical planked, with brown carpet in the upper-right corner and mesh anti-slip pads in the upper left corner of the photo, with just the hint of a door.
