OLD PUGS NEED LOVE TOO!

While your kids are asleep, remove their hamster from its cage, bend a gap in the bars, and hang a tiny rope ladder down.

This one took a little over five months to complete because I did most of it on the train to and from work. It's called Some Things. Microns on laser cardstock, 2007-2008.

When I was about twelve, I went on my first flight as a solo traveler where part of that included a layover in Chicago.

When my flight landed in Chicago, I went to my transfer’s gate, but there was a wait before my next flight departed so I went into the restroom to kill time.

It seems like a weird place for a kid to kill time, but I had this thing where I’d do karate kicks in front of public restroom mirrors because I didn’t have a full-length mirror at home and I wanted to be able to see my “full moves.”

It should be noted that the only karate “training” I’d ever had was watching a VHS tape of the Karate Kid on repeat, but I was certain I was an absolute natural, so I “did my kicks” in front of the mirror and was having a great time until a lady walked in the restroom and saw me doing my kicks.

I was absolutely mortified, so I grabbed my enormous backpack and tennis racket bag and proceeded to hide in a restroom stall until I was confident that nobody else was in there, at which time I exited the restroom and headed to my gate which was just across the aisle.

As I was walking up, I noticed that all of the people who were previously waiting by the gate were now gone and it was then that I learned I was too late and they had already closed the boarding doors.

I was absolutely terrified that I was going to be trapped in Chicago for the rest of my life and I broke down crying, but the gate attendant was very nice and made a call to the plane and they ended up making an exception to let me on and the doors were reopened and I made my way toward the plane.

Because I was late, they had given away my seat so I had to take the last seat available which was at the back of the plane. As a result, I began my tortuous walk of shame past all of the other passengers who were now delayed because of me.

It felt like slow motion as I sobbed uncontrollably and lugged my gigantic backpack, all while my tennis racket bag smacked against every single seat as I walked down the aisle toward the back of the plane.

After what felt like an eternity, I FINALLY made it to my seat at the back of the plane and I was relieved that the embarrassment was over—until I looked up and saw the very same lady who caught me doing karate kicks in the restroom.

She didn’t seem to recognize me (or at least pretended not to), but *I* knew.

As a result of that traumatic experience, I never practiced my karate kicks again, but I bet I’m still REALLY good at them.

My best friend asked whether I wanted to join her on a one week trip to a Greek island and for the first time I straightforwardly expressed that I can’t because I intend to not fly for short trips anymore because of the #climatecrisis.

I was anxious to express that, but afterwards I felt lighter. Like a weight lifted off my shoulders. And my friend understands. She will fly anyway, but I am honestly glad that I won’t.

I’ve been kind of busy which has been making it challenging for me to keep up with mastodon, so please feel free to boost some of my old toots so we can trick others into believing I’m still actively participating.

Said goodbye to my senior pet bunny Charles today after he suffered a major neurological episode he could not recover from. No matter how sick or how old, it’s always so heartbreaking to say that final farewell and return home without them.
