I use the iOS Photos widget on my Home Screen and there have been a lot of #Russell photos popping up lately. 💔🐶 I’ve decided it would be a good idea to post them, until it isn’t… 🤣

The only reason I get up on the morning. ☕️😴

I’m sometimes envious of those with a more mechanical skill set but then I get the chance to help friends fix their Wifi network or help them properly back up their photos… 🤓💻 #geek

Do I wanna make another cup of coffee so late in the day? Yes. Should I? Probably not. Will I? …I think we all know the answer to that one… ☕️🤣

Thank goodness Amazon is texting me to let me know my account is compromised and will be canceled unless I visit the link they helpfully sent me… 🤣

Was not at all impressed with the music in the overhead at the gym tonight, so I made my own playlist. Still remember the first time I heard her album, she was the first British pop artist in my music library.

I still wake up every day, missing Russell, hoping it was just a bad dream…only for reality to come crashing down on me. 💔🐶 I’m so grateful to all the friends who’ve been there for me, trying to offer comfort and companionship; I’m truly blessed. ❤️

Took a day off this week (there was no way on earth I was going to be able to work 💔🐶) and making up for it today; currently flighting with authentication issues between .Net and Java land, it might be time for a little break.

I keep looking up, expecting Russell to be on the couch or in his nest of blankets. I keep expecting to hear the clatter of his nails on the kitchen floor. I keep expecting to hear him woof and growl at the slamming of a car door. I keep expecting him to greet me @ the door. 💔🐶

“How did that annoying little creature worm his way so deep into our hearts?" - me asking my Partner between breakdowns today 💔🐶

Nobody tells you how much this hurts…or maybe they did and I just didn’t realize? I’ve never lost a pet as an adult; it’s been less than 12 hours and I feel like it’s been an eternity. I don’t know what I’m going to do without Russell, the world just feels so…empty. 💔🐶

We said goodbye to our boy today. He drifted across the rainbow bridge full of all his favorite foods (ham, meatballs, & pâté), nestled between us on the couch (it was his favorite place to be). I’m going to miss you, my little puppy-rabbit, I’m going to miss you. 💔🐶

Just made an incredibly tough decision, one that me and my partner didn’t want to make but it’s for the best. Tuesday…and the lead up to the event is going to be rough. 😢😖

I think he’s plotting my demise… 😬😼 #cat

🍿 As is tradition, watching Groundhog Day on Groundhog Day. 🎬

I might be the only one still playing Animal Crossing but one’s island doesn’t rearrange itself. 😃 Gotta give credit where credit is due, ACNH Travel Guide is a lovely companion app for the game.

How is today the last day of January 2023?! Where did the month go…? 🥱

“Waste not, want not” is a phrase my Partner took from his grandma’s grandma. I very much doubt she’d have applied it to finishing off a bottle of bloody mary mix but here we are anyway. 😅 (For the record, it’s a virgin drink, this is a working-day 🤪)

I’m still not sure how I was coerced onto the PRIDE Committee @ work but hanging out with a bunch of ADHD folks while trying to make things better for members of our Community…it’s a lot of fun. 🏳️‍🌈🤣
