Silly Saturday Photos: Squirrel Games

Welcome to the weekend!

How was your week? Mine was crazy busy! I'm behind with paperwork at work, Boy 1 had an orchestra concert and Boy 2 had his birthday. It's all behind us now, though. On to the weekend, and editing and relaxation, right?

I found enough pictures I thought were cute that you don't have to read an actual post. I'm wondering what I should write about when I have to write a blog post. I haven't done that in so long!

Anyway, here's this week's offering of photos:

They look so determined!

They may eat my bird seed, but I'm still starting to find squirrels charming.

The way I feel by the end of the week. This is why I don't have friends.

So, that would be a no.

What applying for government assistance programs is like. You understand the direction, but it doesn't make sense.

A little science humor...

I think my favorite is the squirrel games. I laugh when I see flattened squirrels - unless their guts are beside them on the road. Then I feel sad.

I think I'm a little tired. Did I just write that?

Anyway, have an awesome weekend and try to stay sane next week!

Silly Saturday Photos: Wolverine Kitty

Happy (late) Weekend!

How did your week go?

I'll admit, my week was pretty interesting. If you've been on Twitter, you'll already know that I tried to cut off my thumb with a mandolin slicer. The urgent care doctor glued the skin back down, but the glue is starting to come off and it doesn't look good at all. I can't tell if it's infected, or if it just looks gross.

I bought and read a book about writing short stories by James Scott Bell. I want to get back into short stories, and the book was really helpful. Sadly, I haven't actually written anything yet. I've been working, cooking and editing when I can. I have a journal, though, and I'm working on one story idea a day. Eventually I should find a story I want to write!

Well, let's see this week's photos! I actually saw some that were funny.

My dogs are so old, they only wish they could go for so many walks.

Every single time!!

Who knew Sauron was a girl.

The likeness is uncanny!

A punny joke!

My favorite is the Wolverine cat! It's so funny!

Have a lovely week and we'll see you next weekend!

Surprise! A (Short and Random) Funny Photo Post

Surprise!

It's been a while, hasn't it! I apologize for the long wait. I couldn't find any funny photos. I did look, but either the world is not as funny, or I'm not as easily amused as in the past.

Actually, there might be something to that. Me not being as easily amused, I mean. I stopped taking anti-depressants several months ago because they were making my hair fall out. No joke, apparently a potential side effect of SSRI's is that they may make your hair follicles go to sleep. I'd not had that effect until several years ago, but didn't pin-point what was making my hair fall out until just recently. I'm happy to say much of the hair has grown back, and I don't seem to be crying for no reason yet, but I imagine it's entirely possible that my sense of humor has changed somewhat.

For the record, I went off the medication with my doctor's supervision. I don't recommend anyone stop taking medication for mental health issues solo. And my husband has strict orders that if he notices me acting like a super-emotional slug to tell me so I can work with my doctor on the issue. So far, so good, though.

Here's the photos I could find that were entertaining this week!

The realist's meme...

I actually jumped when I finally noticed to momma bear!

It looks like a skeksis from Dark Crystal! I wonder what bird that is.

In case you need help (I did) it's "Circle of Life."

I have made a decision that I am going to start writing posts to fill in for when I can't find any funny photos. I can't say what the posts will be about--probably a little about writing, a little about life. They may be super short, or maybe longer. The idea is to have a post every week, so I don't go over a month without posting again. Many of the people I began blogging with have disappeared, but I don't want to do that. I have so much time and effort put into this blog that I'm not willing to give it up. At least not yet!

My favorite photo was the YMCA praying mantis. It took me a second to figure the caption out, and when I did I actually laughed out loud--so it gets my vote!

Have a great week!
