  • I was hoping to start swapping my media server from it’s tower case into my new Slinger CX4712 case over the weekend…but life got in the way. Fingers crossed I can get to it this week, I don’t want to impact any end users. πŸ€žπŸ»πŸ“·

    Empty server case on light-brown carpet, with some bubble wrap in the back of the case, with some boxed computer fans on top, with wires coming out of the front of the case.
  • Photo of a container of Trader Joe's pumpkin spice coffee on the right side (on top of a kitchen counter, the 'fake' marbled pattern in various shades of brown), next to a calendar-book featuring a photo of a museum in Germany (it's a Rick Steve calendar).

    Yes, I might be called “basic” but ‘tis the season… πŸŽƒβ˜•οΈπŸ“·

  • It's too early for this, right?

    Went to a hardware store last night (my Partner is ripping up the carpet and putting in new flooring) and as we walked in, we were assaulted with Christmas cheer. Given the past few weeks, I was digging it but a couple walked in after us and one of them was complaining it was too early for Christmas … read more

  • “If I were a blessing, I’d run around naked”

    GIF image of Sophia from the Golden Girls, in funeral-black with pearls, waving her hands about. The text in the Gif: I always wondered why blessing wore disguises; If I were a blessing, I'd run around naked.

    As always, we can count on the Golden Girls to cheer us up and offer a bit of truth with humor.

  • Goodbye Grandma

    We said goodbye to my oldest friend this weekend, my lovely Grandma. She’s been…or was…a constant presence in my life, for as far back as I can remember. In fact, my oldest memories involve her, helping her bake cookies, hiding under the table with the bag of brown … read more

  • 🍿 “It’s just a little Hocus Pocus!" πŸ“·
    β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜†β˜†

    The movie 'Hocus Pocus' projected up on the side of a house at night, frozen at the title screen of the movie for the picture. In the lower-left corner of the image, a glowing fire, and in the upper-left of the image, the fading light of the setting sun.

    An annual tradition with my Girls from University, we started watching the movie (and pigging out) outside during the Pandemic and have just kept that as part of our Autumn event.

  • He’s taken to falling asleep in front of the bathroom door…and then when we try to open / close it, he glares. πŸ˜ΉπŸˆπŸ“·

    Grey cat, on the floor, in front of a door-way, glaring with one eye open at the camera.

  • πŸ“Έ September 2023 Micro.Blog photo challenge. Day 30: Treasure

    Cards (9 of hearts, 7 and 5 of clubs on one side, with the Jack of diamonds and the Ace of spades on the other side) on a white tablecloth, with pennies on top of them.

    Playing for pennies during a friendly family (in-law) poker game. I wouldn’t call them treasure but I did win a few rounds…and as I’d never played before…that was good enough for me. β™ οΈπŸƒπŸͺ™ #mbsept

  • πŸ“Έ September 2023 Micro.Blog photo challenge. Day 29: Contrast

    View of the St. Lawrence River, with ice chunks occupying most of the surface, at night, with houses covered in snow and streets with lights at the bottom of the picture. On the upper part of the picture, across the river, lights can be seen up and down a bluff, with a few well-light buildings prominent in the cloudy night sky.

    A view from the Terrasse Dufferin during February; I always love Quebec in winter…the contrast of light and dark, ice and life…it’s lovely. β„οΈπŸ’‘ #mbsept

  • πŸ“Έ September 2023 Micro.Blog photo challenge. Day 28: Workout

    Weight machine, with various brackets to hold bar-bells, in front of a wall of mirrors, reflecting other parts of the gym; the machine is set up for squats.

    One of my overarching goals for this year was to work on my health, with a large emphasis on fitness. My bestie has work pushing me into lifting weights, for my regular workout. πŸ‹πŸΌ #mbsept

  • πŸ“Έ September 2023 Micro.Blog photo challenge. Day 27: Embrace

    Grey cat, curled up and hiding his face with his paws, on a blue bedspread, with blue pillows behind him.

    He didn’t want to wake up,
    so he was hiding his face,
    in a sweet little self-embrace.

  • πŸ“Έ September 2023 Micro.Blog photo challenge. Day 26: Beverage

    Two stemmed glasses of mulled wine sitting on a tray, next to plates and a cutting board with cheese, crackers, and knives. The tray is on top of a black ottoman, with the head of a white dog staring at the tray in the background.

    I was never sure if Russell was after the cheese or the mulled wine but I know he was hoping we’d walk away at some point; he made a habit of stealing unguarded food. πŸ·πŸ§€πŸΆπŸ€£ #mbsept

  • πŸ“Έ September 2023 Micro.Blog photo challenge. Day 25: Flare

    Two giant firework explosions, one pure white, the other colored (red / white / blue), in the night sky, with a trail of smoke leading away from them and the city skyline of St. Louis, with the Arch, is on the right side of the photo. The glow of the city can be seen reflecting a little in the river below.

    Nothing like a little flare to brighten the night sky on the 4th of July. πŸŽ† #mbsept
