We literally can’t have anything nice anymore. We make something that destroys it!

Oh, livejournal, how I miss thee!! I was one of the first users and traveled the country meeting friends before people on the internet would kill you. I talked to so many people. I was really passionate in a few things, but am living with some chronic illness/disabilities now. Hi, I’m Tanya!

Indeed💕 Threads has been sweet for awhile and if you’re a writer and/or into cats you can really find your people there! I shut out social media recently, so I’m not sure the atmosphere.

I scheduled my double shot as soon as they were available here in Philly! Sat on the cvs website and was cancelled on once, but managed to go right by my house over a month ago.

Day 3: what turns out to be short lived nationwide emergency is over. One casualty, me with 32 hours of panic documented in my diary🤣😂

Holy crow! Where does all of that stuff go?! In the rolling luggage set they don’t mention?? (I guess my plan is to just perish on day one of any kind of emergency. I don’t have a bunker.)

Damn. Dude is rocking at least 4-6” (and I immediately see the joke, so let me clarify, I’m not talking about in his pants)

I’m dangerously low, too, but this past week has been a nightmare. Like, worse than I imagined things could be right now, so I’m just trying to relieve myself tonight. I really need to make sure I get some sleep tonight

Wouldn’t that be amazing!? Thanks for the sentiment

I’m too broke right now for relief

Enjoy! I hope this helps. I can only try muscle relaxers and disassociation tonight.

I was so surprised by the results of Feliway. I poo pood it until I tried it. Wow! One of my older cats developed anxiety when the kitten came home and the kitten had nerves, too. I used the spray in key places and the older cat got to wear a beautiful flowy scarf with a puff of Feliway.

Eh, I am still there to keep in touch with family and far away friends. I’ll never get away!

Poor baby! My ginger cat, Danaë, had to have a fang removed too. I really try not to laugh!

Lord, I saw this happen. Cats are magic, but not magic enough to avoid cars all the time…

Thanks goodness all of my business is tucked inside and I’m careful! Every once in awhile she catches me unawares in the mons and it’s pretty painful.

Basil always gets me in the bladder as she leaps away to escape… from who knows what even happened?

Omgosh. I need to learn about feeds! I’m just starting my second day here and of course I didn’t read any of the intro stuff.

I’m dying to put solar panels on the house even though I don’t own the place!! The landlord doesn’t pay any utilities, so she has no inspiration to ever do it. But she’s pretty nice and she knows I’m going to be here forever. I might convince her.

What does the actual Wi-Fi breast mean? Or did bluesky originally populate itself with “show your boobs!” ?

What’s the icon and is it true that we don’t have working hashtags?? I just got here yesterday, please excuse my ignorance!

I’m waiting for a moment in real life to text this to someone (or if I want to participate in shit in the cutest way possible in the other place)

In retrospect, I really regret not having any albums!! (But the phone does sort out videos and screen shots and such, so I have a little bit of help)

I do feel like I can’t cuss here and I usually swear like a sailor. I just got here yesterday…

I started a really good coffee routine and no one believes that throwing a cup back with my night meds really helps me sleep better! I have a morning and afternoon routine, too. It’s basically a mid sized problem.

I began that process, but I have 35k pictures (mostly my cats) and I got soooo tired. If you have an iPhone I found something on the phone that shows you potential multiples so you can get rid of those. As with everything, I’ll be damned if I remember where I found this helpful thing!
