Gray Thursday


Just my legs in the mirror’s reflection as I waited for my post-op exam, where all looked good. Did have something put on the wound which is still burning a little three hours later, but that’s all right. I’m very grateful for my entire medical team from my primary care doc to the specialists and nurses, PAs, and NPs who always take good care of me.


I have a long way to go to finish the beginning of the first coloring pages in the “Mountain Jewels” section of The Magical Unicorn Society Official Coloring Book. This group of unicorns is gray (of course!), each with distinct mane, tail, hoof, and horn colors in red, green, blue, and purple.

Tom’s working from home at his desk next to mine in the office. Though I usually don’t sit in the office when he’s working, the range of music his phone is streaming is excellent, so I’m working quietly next to him. I took that photo mainly so I could show that I’m FINALLY having my first coffee in nine days because I finished my antibiotic (doesn’t get along with coffee) yesterday. We still have snow melting outside, but I craved cold coffee.

I’ll add the finished coloring pages to this post later.

We have dogs all around us.


Like the princess and the pea, Anime rests on four layers of blankets/beds.


The smol dog Eva hogs the heater.


Jack and Delta: Uneasy are the heads that claim the daybed against interlopers.


As promised, below are the newly completed pages from this book. Excerpts from the book include this info: Mountain Jewel unicorns are known for their short tempers and gruff personalities… [They are] wary creatures who don’t often trust humans… Found in some of the harshest environments on Earth, [they] can survive high altitudes and cold temperatures…and are fiercely loyal to each other.

  1. Thursday and Friday, especially after the lunchtime drag back to work, the doggies are somewhere else I’d rather be. (What breeds are these? I can’t remember.)

    1. Eva is a chihuahua (rescue paperwork says chihuahua mix, but we see nothing but chihuahua in her appearance and demeanor). On their other rescue paper work: Anime was listed as “podengo poqueno” (a Portuguese breed); and when she was young and quite thin, I could see a mix of that, but as she aged, Tom and I became sure she’s a corgi and chihuahua mix. Her medications (she has Addison’s disease) keep her plump. Delta is listed only as “dachshund mix,” but her ears never fall, so we think she has something else in her, maybe Italian greyhound. Jack is a dachshund chihuahua mix.
