Today is my Two Year Anniversary 🥳

I'm not going to lie: it's been challenging dealing with major fatigue, brain fog, pain, breathlessness, random flare-ups, and an ever growing assortment of medical and mobility aids.

I'm not saying this as a pity party, but rather to remind you that every time you get , it's another chance to join my Long COVID Cool Kidz Club, and you really don't want to be a member. The dues are too high, theres no easy way to cancel your subscription, and the service is terrible!

Thank you Mastodon and the Fediverse for the laughs, conversations, connectedness and the cat photos..... Sooo many cat photos. You really put the social in social media, you adorable weirdos. ❤️

Charlotte is sleepy and grumpy. What do you call that: Greepy? Slumpy?

In older times, my body's uncanny ability to detect changes in barometric pressure might bring me fame and fortune.

Right now, I'll settle for a heating pad, a cat, and a comfy blanket.

Said this to my equally exhausted spouse just now: It's better to be tired with each other than tired of each other.

2023 was the year I pushed myself back into reading again. I recommend all of these:

The Hyperion series by Dan Simmons.

Kaiju Preservation Society by John @scalzi. Thank you for my autographed edition of Starter Villain - it was the highlight of my Christmas presents and will be the first new book I read in 2024!

A Memory Called Empire and A Desolation called Peace by Arkady Martine @ArkadyMartine

A Mystery of Mysteries: The Death and Life of Edgar Allen by Mark Dawidziak

The Fall of the House of Usher by Edgar Allen Poe

All the Birds in the Sky and The City in the Middle of The Night by Charlie Jane Anders @charliejane

The Sympathizer and The Committed by Viet Thanh Nguyen

The Wager by David Grann

The first three books in The Expanse series (will start with the 4th in the New Year) by James S. A. Corey

Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin

Got any suggestions for 2024 reading?

Well, our entire neighborhood losing power a few minutes ago was not on my Christmas list.

Am I in a deleted scene from The Grinch?

Btw, this is the first time I've really been able to capture how colorful her eyes are.

I literally had a game open on my while reading this in bed.

"Do you remember when we were kids, and how much fun it used to be to spend the whole afternoon in some game world?” “Of course,” Sadie said. “Sometimes, I would be in so much pain. The only thing that kept me from wanting to die was the fact that I could leave my body and be in a body that worked perfectly for a while—better than perfectly, actually—with a set of problems that were not my own.” “You couldn’t land at the top of a pole, but Mario could.”
“Exactly. I could save the princess, even when I could barely get out of bed."

Finally, someone who knows how to deliver loaves and fish.

Happy Thanksgiving from Renard and Charlotte, aka Ankle Warmer XL and the Ankle Warmer 2000.

I'm thankful for you all for keeping me informed and entertained. The cats are thankful for extra helpings today 🐾

Today is my one year Fediversary! 🎉

A year ago, I decided to give Mastodon a try and I've never looked back. I found fellow Twitter refugees and discovered amazing OG Fediverse accounts. Many of the folks I discovered in my local feed are still my favorite follows. Y'all are stuck with me now. ❤️
