My kitties have been on something that SAYS senior (but its for ages 7-11) for a few years. My elder one is coming up on 11 I think.

Idk if you've finished it yet but there's a bit at the ending that I think says a lot about his character too!

unfortunately experiencing cramps today. Cramps are better than the PMS symptoms that happen before them, but still not an optimal way to spend time at the office.

in 10 days I'm taking a week off work purely because I have the vacation hours (I try to use a week once I hit 300 hours stored) and I'm going to spend the entire time deep cleaning my apartment.

I'm always surprised how clean my mousepad looks after I do the occasional Scrub Aggressively With Dish Soap and Hot Water on it. I'm a grimy grimy man who i guess because my mousepad gets downright dirty

finally watching Dark (german scifi series) and it is good, as expected.

I've been driving consistently for 20 years, but navigating transit systems? Probably less than 2 months cumulatively. It's Fresh, driving sucks.

It feels lame and maybe it's just because it's novel for me but I take a weird pride in navigating public transit well. Also probably related that I always take public transit on vacations so it's a Fun skill to me.

car on the way to the mechanic, keeping my dad posted since it is HIS car, but obviously planning to pay for it since I'm the one who needs it and it broke in my care :/ hoping its not too bad.

I love my luck, borrowed car overheated again on the way to work despite full coolant, so I'm getting it towed to a mechanic and spending money i dont have to repair a car that's not mine, but at least it's probably repairable when MY car isn't.

I don't think it's childish, sometimes I do take off work, sometimes I don't. I never celebrate it because no one to celebrate with anyway.

Borrowed car nearly overheated, had to pull over in a apartment complex about a mile from home and order a coolant delivery from nearby. Worried about why the coolant was low when we just did a fluids check like a month ago tho.

even with a new dept head this still sucks? ugh I'm sorry that's happening to you.

my work outlook keeps turning on copilot when i turn it off and i'm gonna Yell

palm cat scratch is fully exterior-healed but it still hurts with any pressure or lots of hand movement, can't believe my preferred son did this to me

i would like to be in bed but i made the mistake of grocery delivery and doing that order at 5pm means 9pm or later delivery.

watched the thai version of boy next world but i actually have zero memories of it so i guess i can watch the japanese version now

It took me literally 49 hours of Slay the Spire to beat a full 3 act run and unlock the last character. But I've been enjoying the zero stakes feelings of these runs. Like, oh I died? Just spend 20mins and do it again.

I still feel bad, I think I'm simply going to feel bad all day.

recovering from bullshitting about my work in front of 40 people. I always think I'm not nervous until I'm holding a mic and my voice shakes. UGH its the worst.

Anyway I find it really remarkable that the cat ripped up my palm in such a way that it created a skin flap that is still getting blood flow so I'm just kinda letting it stick back down mostly. Like you can hardly tell this is a big gouge wound at all.

trying to keep a bandaid on the palm of a hand that must be USED is proving extremely difficult. So difficult that I would have superglued this skin flap shut if my glue wasn't dried shut

Big beautiful cat got inexplicably jumpy and ripped open the palm of my hand with a DULL back claw. First cat scratch worthy of a bandage in a minute

i know everything sucks for everyone in bigger ways and I feel ultimately my employer will do their best to find me another position if mine is defunded and my experience with this employer should easily qualify me for other work if needed, so i can mitigate the dread slightly

starting to feel dread about my program not getting funding. we keep getting rejected for the few grants we can even apply for.

Actually the worst part is that I look so much like my mom but my mom doesn't rly look like either of her parents and while her dad was a shithole, the one photo I've seen he was actually very good looking so why couldn't he do one good thing and pass that down?

Never met both of these fuckers so I like to talk shit. One died in the early 80s and one died when I was like 13 but I never met him. My human brain likes finding patterns for fun and comedy.

My parents both have daddy issues it's just one is the kind when your alcoholic dad stays around and one is where he traumatizes you early then disappears for 40yrs. Like trauma cousins.

Sometimes you just have two grandfathers that are the types of guy who might have had a secret family. They've just got the vibe. The vibe and they were provably lying alcoholics.

I pretty much exclusively look like my mom tho and I KNOW her dad had another family after the divorce so my lookalike half cousins are out there somewhere.
