Shouting Into The Void

New Year

1. This year has had its ups and downs, but looking back, there were more ups. I’ll call it a win.

2. Sometimes taking a leap of faith is what you need to do and I did that. Just waiting to see if I jumped far enough to make it work.

3. Shooting pool is a struggle today.

1. Abbey Road turned 50 yesterday and it’s still one of my favorite albums. For reasons. ❤️

2. New adventures start Monday. Much excite. 🥂

3. Toddler phone adventures are my favorite thing. I giggle every time they have the phone and run around the house. 💜

4. The aspens are really starting to pop up here and traffic is hell with all the leaf peepers. I have to admit, I am one of them. The ambers, deep crimsons, and pale greens make for a beautiful contrast among the evergreens throughout the mountains. Might drive through Guenella Pass this weekend and contribute to the traffic. LOL 😂

5. My favorite little dive bar closed down and I feel so displaced. I’ve meet some really nice people there and it’s odd to not see them as often. There’s another local watering hole, but it’s not the same. I’m missing their cheeseburgers and fries for sure, because steak fries. 🍔🍟

I hope everyone is doing well and that you all have a great weekend!! 😁

1. The event from this past weekend went well, even with a few hiccups that we managed to smooth out pretty quickly. I’m up to my ears in paperwork right now sorting everything out now in terms of silent auction items, paddle auction items, wine pull funds, and more. Good times.

2. My orchid plant has a keiki growing on it!! I have beeen nursing this plant for months after the cat knocked it over and traumatized it. It’s been slow going but it just got finished dropping flowers from the three spikes it grew out and now the keiki makes me happy. Once it’s big enough I can remove it and plant it in its own pot. Phals are pretty resilient.

3. Making some transitions in life is never easy but sometimes it needs to be done. It’s a waiting game now.

4. The craving for a Slim Jim is real right now.

5. I was gifted with some vintage Pyrex and there were two matching lids that fit three of the five pieces. Lids are like the Holy Grail in collecting, especially if they match the set. Much joy ensued.

6. The leaves are already starting to change colors. 😞

Theme song for this week.

So one night, about two years ago, a German Shepherd and a Corgi has a secret rendezvous after getting out of their respective yards. One thing led to another, possibly while listening to the Marvin Gaye classic “Let’s Get It On,” and well, here are the results.

William Martin Joel gave one hell of a performance last night at Coors Field.

I was also extremely excited for the two ladies in front of me in the t-shirt line who were headed to their seats up in the nosebleed section and ended up with front row tickets to the show. One of his crew members stopped them and asked where they were headed and they told them the section. He gave them two tickets and said the only catch was they had to stay for the entire show. The look of pure joy and excitement on their faces while they were telling the story gave me goosebumps. I really hope they had a great time and it’s definitely a show they won’t ever forget! 🥰🥰

Happy Friday!! 🎉🎊💥😀

1. A toxic person at work was relieved of their duties recently and the mood is much more jovial, relaxed, and calmer.

2. I’ve been listening to Living Colour at work today and they were totally underrated and under appreciated when they arrived on the scene.

3. Spring/Summer has somewhat arrived here. Considering May was nothing but winter weather advisories every week, it’s nice to see greenery up here.

4. There were two does with two fawns each crossing the road on the way to work today and it instantly put me in a great mood. Babby 🦌!!!

5. I took in a foster dog recently and it became a failure as I ended up adopting her. Now if her and the cat could play nice, it would be much appreciated.

I hope everyone managed to keep all their fingers and limbs after yesterday’s shenanigans. Have an excellent rest of the day!!

Nothing like trying to help someone relocate a raccoon living under their deck, giving them a number to a wildlife rehab center, and finding out the number is associated with a swingers club. 😂😂😂😂

1. I lost one of my kitties a few weeks ago to cancer. I just hope she was comfortable in her last few months in the house looking at plenty of squirrels, birds, and other assorted woodland creatures, and being loved. I miss my Miss Betty Bea.

2. There’s some shady shit going on at work with the ED and I’m getting annoyed. I’m going to be documenting some stuff for future reference.

3. I think we finally got the last snow of the year this week. 🤞🏻I’m so over this white crap.

4. Where has this damn year gone already?

5. I’m still getting goosebumps from seeing Florence last week. It was the coldest damn concert I’ve ever been to, but damn if her voice and stage presence are on a whole different level. It was funny when she said it was “fucking cold” as it was lightly snowing.

Have a fantastic Friday!!! 🎊🎉🎈💃🥂

She dedicated this to Arya Stark the other night and I got chills.

1. Nothing like a trailer full of future cheeseburgers and brisket parked in front of the office this morning. Mmmm, brisket.

2. I love how my coworker talks to the kittens next door to my office as she calls them sweeties and tells them how good they are. I adore it and it always puts a smile on my face. It’s even more adorable as they are all named after Avengers characters so to hear her say “I love you, Thor” always makes me giggle just a little bit.

3. We have a cat named Elwood and he loves our morning chin scritching time together. He’s a bit on the chonky side but he’s been losing weight. He’s looking for his Jake at the moment and I’m hopeful he finds him.

4. I’m about ready to hurt our IT person. I’ve got a donor management software program I can’t use because they were too dumb to format the spreadsheet correctly, that I sent directly from the company’s website, before uploading it to the system and now all the data is fucked. Argh! It’s going to be a nightmare trying to unfuck it all and I have a feeling it’s not going to be an easy fix.

5. My favorite flame haired English singing goddess will be at Red Rocks Monday and Tuesday and I have all the excite.

I hope you have an excellent Friday!! 🎉🥂💃

1. My mind and body are tired but we’re getting on track at work and I’m thrilled. New ideas and people are making it exciting. Plus it’s puppy and kitten season!! All the happy!!

2. I’m heartbroken for the citizens of Paris, and the world, who have visited Notre Dame. I am very hopeful that they can repair the extensive damage but I know it will never be the same. At least some of the stained glass is still standing but will definitely need reinforcements. I’m not a religious person by any stretch, but touring the cathedral a few years back was a moving experience that gave me chills and one I look back on fondly.

3. Bran’s look is a mood and I’m here for it.

4. I feel so far behind here due to work and fundraising activities but I’ll catch up one of these days.

5. STM: I miss you.

1. I’m currently listening to puppies yelping and it’s the best sound ever. Imma go get my puppy snuggle on in a little bit because there is no better way to start the day than with puppy breath and a snuggle.

2. Physically and mentally I am exhausted from work, as I’ve been working six day weeks and often 10-12 hour days. But I feel so fulfilled at the end of the day so I know it’s worthwhile.

3. I hope the plumes of smoke I saw on the mountain this morning and the fire chief’s truck behind me racing to the area does not spell disaster for the homeowner. We’ve already had one house blown to bits from hot ashes left on the deck recently.

4. There are some situations where you lose all hope, but then life throws you a curveball and well, it just might work out after all.

5. I am ready to see my girls, eat some mud bugs, and have some fun this weekend. Cocktail me already.

6. On clear nights, seeing the faint outline of the Milky Way leaves me breathless. I’m just disappointed I won’t be around to see more of the evolution of space exploration since it’s still in its infancy.

Stress relief on a Tuesday.

why does this have 32k notes? it’s just a picture of a knife in a ranch bottle, is there some unspoken joke that 32 thousand people share? what is going on here, i dont get it. it’s just a fucking picture of a knife in a ranch bottle. is there some spiritual connection people have to this picture? is there some ominous and mystical reasoning that this has 32 thousand notes? do people reblog this because it makes them look like some indie blogger? or is there just something funny to this? someone please explain

[diggly]

Monday Musings

1. I met one of the most interesting people last night at our staff and volunteer appreciation event and I can’t want to talk to them about human behavior and the Mob. They shared a few stories and we reminisced about a particular place in Florida. I’m looking forward to my next conversation with this person. Giggity.

2. I adopted a kitty named Miss Betty, who had been our longest resident here at the shelter for 533 days. She’s making herself right at home and is getting used to the new digs. All she does is purr, so everything must be good. Her condo mate will also be coming home soon, and as a senior kitty, I knew she’d be harder to adopt so I’m adopting her as well.

3. I’m really digging the new job and even through we are in a bit of flux at the moment, and our ship is leaning to the left, it will be upright soon.

4. New shoes make everything better.

5. Time to prepare for our emergency management meeting to work out an evacuation plan in case of wildfires, as the area is prone to them in the summer.
