Putting out a call to Star Trek fans here on Mastodon. Does anyone have an extra 2022 Hallmark Star Trek Replicator mug they're willing to part with? I'll pay for it and shipping. Our cat destroyed mine tonight and it was my favorite mug and my ritual to drink from it when watching Trek.

When she was done, she did a great job cleaning up and we went through our "dad is leaving ritual" which is a fist bump, an elbow bump, and a hip bump. Nice.
These aren't exactly great ribs, but they're not bad either and she gets 3 meals out of one pack and the process of cooking them is accessible to her, so bonus.
I shop the day before she does and I take pictures of things that are on sale and offer her those as options. She makes her own decisions. Pre-cooked sauced ribs have been $9 at the local grocery store.
I helped Alice make dinner tonight. And by help, I mean I made sure she stayed on task and really little else. She was having a good brain day today. Leftover ribs and broccoli. #disability #downSyndrome #independence #cooking #food #parenting

Oh no.
My daughter has discovered Justin Bieber. She has a playlist of Justin Bieber videos on her phone and she's dancing to them. She also insists that he's coming to her condo to meet her parents and her roommate. #downSyndrome #parenting #TheBieb
Peacock (Aglais io) - one of the earliest butterflies to appear in the spring, they hibernate as adults. I often find them in sheds in the winter, if you stay around them for too long, they make a rasping noise, possibly to deter predators
