Friendly reminder that if your worried about your relationship, it's perfectly okay squirrel away a to-go bag with a few days of extra clothes and important documents. And if anyone asks, it's part of your emergency kit, you know, in case of tornados, flooding, or fires.

Convinced this idiot is somehow rubbing his face with bacon grease every night and that’s the reason he’s the only one getting acne. (Don’t worry, he’s getting treatment for it).

Weather dropped to the low 80s (30s in c), which means it is no longer too hot for mosquitos. It will not be too cold for mosquitos until it is almost Christmas. I am allergic to mosquitos. I hate global warming.

I don’t have anything against ancient Egypt. Pyramids are neat. I am having a problem when a game introduces an ancient or desert theme map and it’s all pyramids and mummies. I don’t want another mummy map. Give me Etruscans or Sumerians. 90% of Australia is desert. Alaska had quick sand. Come on.

I’ve played two games this month that did this. If I were a several thousand year old civilization that survived the burning death of the Bronze Age, I’d find it rather hurtful to be downgraded to “desert location.”

I can’t prove it, but this is the fault of the British. Them and their Victorian mummy unwrapping parties. This has to have butterfly effect’d into me being mad that Horus’ people get this disrespect. Has to have been the British.

It’s always mummies or Anubis. They had over 1000 deities. Learn some new ones. I know it’s because they’re well documented, but we also got all sorts of pyramid loving people in South America that are also well documented. I guess sorry that the Nazca Lines are “too flat” for “good game design.”

Despite the fact that we live in a desert, my free fed cats have increased their eating in order to fatten themselves up for winter. I tell them we will not run out of food, they simply do not care. (They do lose it all in summer so it’s all good).

Being chronically online means I have a lot of friends outside my country. They’re pretty worried about Americans, but then I explain things like ambrosia salad and Jimothy and they… they, uh, become more worried about our health and sanity.

Got the usual scam discord friend request but they had the nerve to CALL instead of the usual message, and I already get 10+ scam calls a day on my phone. I don’t need them in discord too.

I hate having trauma and anxiety because I am stone faced with horrific adversity, but I am broken down in a ball right now because my dinner plans have fallen through for a third time tonight.

The recent episode of Lanterns featured a magpie-jay that is native to Mexico. This has started an argument between me and my partner on if the non-native bird is an alien or bad bird-casting. I’m on team alien.

I get Dutch Bros as a treat for when I do a big adult task, so maybe once a month. Accidentally scheduled and showed up to the doctor for a body part I don’t have, (had a hysterectomy), so…. No tea today…

Grief is hitting me super hard in the form of a dehydration headache from crying so much. Everyone give your sibling a hug next time you can, or at least some kind words of support. Also get your health checks in and eat your fiber.

Had a several month issue where this idiot was pulling out all the fur from his legs. We tried coning him, treating for anxiety, stress, the works. Turns out he just wanted a replacement collar. The bow/bell fell off shortly before the mess started and apparently I didn’t replace it quickly enough.

It’s not a cheap collar and he wrestles the other cats all the time. How was I supposed to know he loved how it tinkled while he attempted murder against his fellow felines?

Anyone have tips for taking pictures of black cats without their phone freaking out because it thinks black cat=extra exposure because nighttime. I just want to show everyone what a perfect lady she is.

Had a friend who had to take a mental health break during their shift due circumstances a patient was put through today. I don’t want to go into details but it’s stressful to have another fear added to the back of the mind. Anyways, here’s Meemers.

Every time I have an endometriosis flair up, I feel like I’m on my deathbed. One arm limply hovering as I cry to the heavens, “Ladies, talk to each other about your periods, some shit ain’t normal…” “… and get your cervical screenings.”

Update on my injured cat, struggling with long-term medical collars. She can’t wear the plastic will work one and still eat. She can’t wear donut because she can still lick her foot. She’s currently wearing two donuts, which makes her lick her wound less but she’s absolutely miserable.

Depression means sometimes you pull yourself up and get things done, but then the Panda Express server shoots you a glance before throwing in an extra scoop of orange chicken… And you realize that even though you’re doing better, you still look like you’re having the worst day ever. Baby steps.

Send some thoughts and prayers for the poor vet techs having to work on Ellie, for she is in full Upsetti Spagetti mode. She has a cut on her paw and I don’t have the budget to fix both my leaking toilet and get her sedation. Last night was wild.

Update: she did really good, she just has to be a kennel prisoner for two weeks. It’ll help us monitor the wound and keep the others from picking on her.

Basically the toilet is leaking into my floor, and while trying to figure out what the damage to the floor is, Ellie ran over some measuring tape and lacerated her back foot open.

Anyone have a good music service they listen to? Spotify is basically dead to me after the bugs I ran into last night and I think I’m stuck listening to international radio stations until I find something better.

Happy Evemas everyone! Last year, nights before family meetups had me shadow boxing in the corner preparing to argue any dumb political stuff that came up but I literally do not have the energy this year. I’m so tired, guys. So tired.

As we enter the finish line, I’ve decided that I have bought enough games this year. Luckily, Steam’s winter sale goes until Jan 5th so I can give next year a head start. Very excited to check out Blue Prince!

I need my cat to realize that if I am handing his sister a treat, and she drops it, and he punches her so he can eat it, I will not be handing him a treat. Cats and consequences do not go hand in hand but I am trying.

I was talking to a friend about Final Fantasy and he said the second Dissidia was his favorite. I don’t have many hills to die on but there is clearly collection of valid FF games that are allowed to be someone’s number one but I will not stand a Dissidia being amongst them.

No one asked but the the tier list is: All the games are different and special in their own way. Often the first is your favorite, or it lead you to one you’ll remember as being special. Unless your favorite is any of the Dissidias, X-2, or 13. Then you are wrong.

Got asked to send a postcard to a relative, and even though I haven’t touched a paintbrush in over twenty years and have practically no experience watercoloring, I tried to do something special. I tried the technique of unifying color by having the same undertone. I think it worked?

I live in an area where it’s still going to be in the 70s by the time Thanksgiving comes around, but I’ve never understood why no one turns on the grill during the colder seasons. I get why in places where it does snow and rain, but I don’t get why they don’t here.

When my long-distance friends and I discovered we all take out our garbage on Thursday, we formed the Thursday Night Trash Crew. This is the day we do a splurge of cleaning around the house. It’s really helped me because my headset is wireless, and I can be mirroring clean up with someone else.

My foster kitten is all healed up and ready to go. I’m going to miss Napoleon. He’s the only long haired kitten in the bunch. At five months, he weights 8.5 lbs and is larger than his short-haired mother. Genetics is a crazy thing.
