Last night I dreamed about bugs crawling all over me. And having sex with Melon Husk. I don’t know which one creeped me out the most.😳

Am I limping? Why yes I am. What did I do? I pulled a groin muscle. How the hell did you do that? I don’t know. Maybe- *When I cleaned up shit, stripped the covers/pillows from the dog bed and got them in the wash (she’s an old dog and has accidents). 1/

*Threw dog bedding in dryer. *Fixed the dehumidifier. *Let cat 1 out (or in…I lost track). *watered the houseplants. *cleaned the litter boxes. 6/

*Made up the dog bed. ********************** AND FINALLY GOT TO SIT DOWN WITH MY SECOND CUP OF COLD COFFEE This is my #retiredlife and it is…a lot. fin/

*Checked glucose level on dog (diabetic) and started making her food. Gave her insulin shot and fed her. *Let cat 1 inside. *Emptied dishwasher and reloaded it. *Took out the garbage. 4/

*Attempted to vacuum. *Took apart vacuum and washed the filters and bin. *Rescued washing machine from out of balance death thrall. *Mopped up and placed a dehumidifier where washing machine drainage hose overflowed. *Took out dog for another walk. 5/

*Mopped the floor where she had her accident (all before my first cup of coffee). *Took said dog out (she’s blind) and walked her around til she pottied. 2/

Let out cat 1. Let cat 2 roam around the house. Let out cat 2 when the coast was clear. Fed and watered outside cats 3,4,5 and 6. Had a cup of now cold coffee. 3/

How do I explain to someone that their cat probably has lung cancer, and secondary sarcoma mainly caused by second hand smoke? I like this person and they are suffering also from the effects of cigarettes. I don’t want to guilt shame them. Smh, maybe I’ll be kind instead.

This Midwest “in between”season gives us 40 mph gusts and a chorus of banshees keening through the bare branches.
