What's Bothering You?

My cat Misty has to stay overnight at a pet hospital bc she was extremely lethargic and possibly had a stroke. 😢
Misty update: She is likely coming home tonight or tomorrow. The tech called and said Misty’s been eating, walking, responding to chin-scratches, etc. Her blood pressure was a bit high, too, so she’s taking meds for that in addition to her usual thyroid pills.
This was a relief to hear! Finn will also be happy to see his sister.
 
I feel almost offended when I'm told to be normal, but at the same time I also feel bad for acting differently compared to everyone else.

It makes me wonder how my online friends and/or my partner will perceive me if we ran into each other in person. I'd feel bad if they just don't like me anymore, because they would expect me to be a certain way. I just want to be accepted as a person, not rejected like some monster. It doesn't feel right for me to change for others, but what if it's the only way...?
 
This gressingham duck leg in orange and port sauce doesn't taste of orange nor duck, more of an artificial taste, it's quite concerning as they used to be nice. Another reason to use a Chinese takeaway
 
the impractical jokers situation.

i’m pretty young, and i have been watching impractical jokers for as long as i can remember. my parents used to turn it on all the time. they even went to one of their live shows.

my family knew that something was wrong years ago when episodes of the show with joe acting inappropriate were taken off of streaming services.

it’s just weird thinking that two of the men that i grew up watching on tv are actually disgusting people. murr and joe were never my favorites, so i’m not as sad as i would be if i found out sal did something like this.

the allegations aside, the show has only gone downhill since joe left a few years ago. they changed their intro to something that looks like a 2010s youtube channel into (if that makes sense) and the jokes just haven’t been as funny.
 
Edit: I was doing okay, drained. Now I’m still okay, but kinda also not feeling good. I think part might be because I spent too much time yesterday drawing since I feel like my head kinda feels funny (not a head ache) and my energy level feels like i got no sleep even though I did. I kinda feel a little overwhelmed, strained too, not sure why though. I might take a short nap; I probably shouldn’t draw anything today. I’m still having some difficulty coping with and my feelings about some stuff.

Having really bad anxiety about something I thought and said today.

My dad said that the Switch 2 Pre-orders being delayed has nothing to do either with Trump. I should’ve had it pre-ordered today, but I couldn’t.
 
I hurt someone I care about (months ago), but they’re still the same sweet person they were before everything went down, and they still care enough about me to wait with my friend while she was looking for me. God, I don’t deserve them

Misty is BACK! 😻 She doesn’t like the IV bandage, or not being able to go in the basement, but otherwise she seems like herself.
 
Thankfully it doesn't seem like anything serious, and she's generally acting like herself as usual, but I think my cat is having some stomach issues. At the very least, she might be a bit constipated. I picked up a little pureed pumpkin for her that hopefully helps move things along, since we've given it to her before and she likes it.

glad to hear your kitty is doing well 🥺. my pup, also a girl, who also has a brother, was in the pet hospital as well last week.
 
no matter what happens, i love you Blitz.
i will always love you.

His heart stopped beating today.

It was a difficult decision but it was all for the better. He body has finally caught up to his age and we couldn't handle seeing him in any more pain. I don't want to detail it anymore because it's excruciating and not really something I'd like to remember him by.

He went peacefully at the vet. I gave him lots of forehead kisses to bring with him on the way to heaven. I was gently rubbing his head and holding his hands as he finally went. I said I'd be strong but the tears just kept coming.

Thank you Blitz for the 14 years. You've seen me graduate not once, not twice, but four times. Four! And you had just enough strength to wait for me to finish my boards exam and come home to you. Even until your last moments you were looking out for me.

My boyfriend gave me a bouquet of flowers right after my boards exam. I placed the same bouquet on his death bed today as a thank you for all the years he's been with me.

Good night, Blitz. Rest well and eat lots of merienda when you're up there. I'll see you again my sweetest baby boy. 🐶💕✨

I hate when I bleed from dry skin, then it becomes a pain to clean up. This time it was my heel, and I didn't notice until I got blood all over my bedding and kitchen flooring. Spent a good hour cleaning it up, now I can't get back to sleep.
 
just a minor bother, but when I'm on my desktop computer and I'm signed in on youtube, it keeps giving me a popup that says "Ad blockers violate terms of service" and it won't let me watch the video. I do have an ad blocker (UBlock), but I still get the popup even when the ad blocker is turned off and youtube is whitelisted. the only way I can get it to work is if I clear cookies and site data. if I sign in again, it'll just give me the popup. it's pretty annoying.

I've tried reporting the issue, but it gives me an error every time.

but hey, if the ad blocker keeps working while I'm signed out, then I guess I'll remain signed out on my desktop.
 
I wish my co-workers would just stop discussing politics in the lounge so it doesn’t put me in a sour mood later on. I hate pretty much everything they complain about as well, but it just drags down my mood every time.
And my boss wonders why I’m always so cranky…

A lot of political stuff gets discussed in this thread too, which is why I typically don’t read the posts as often as I’d like to. Maybe I’ve become super sensitive about it all, but I’m simply so done of hearing 99.9% negative crap come out of political discussions.
