Talented friend!

#projectsciencebaby still haven’t started my period properly so I’m trying to go early for my bloodwork appointment. Hopefully I’ll get it back today. I don’t see any reason to be particularly hopeful but I guess you never know.

I gotta make me one of these

Can we just let people make horny art please! What problem is this trying to solve!

We’re watching gbbo on Gem and they just subtitled something [speaking foreign language] and it was fucking French. Are we in Canada or what.

Ha the landlord has to lower the rent increase 0.9% because of tax things. So even if we lose the hearing to fight the 1.5% over guideline increase, they still aren’t getting more than .8% of their illegal increase (they’re applying for the reduction to be 0.7 instead of 0.9)

Okay do I cancel with this therapist and go with the other one? Or do I trust her when I say I want to opt out? She does have a privacy and opt out policy. It just makes me so sus that she’s even considering this option.

I got no showed which means I have time to catch up on reporting and also work on the project I’ve been neglecting. Small mercies.

Always the worst

I know my coworkers don’t want to hear “oh didn’t do much, just found out I’m not pregnant. Again,” in response to “how was your long weekend” but it’s literally the only thing I can think about. Don’t worry, I don’t say that. I show them the video of Shoosh at the river instead.

Shoosh had fun at the river and was mostly very good. She lost her ball in the current but her dad spotted it and she got it back. She also fell off the ridge onto some nice ladies who were very worried about her.

Ugh there go the period cramps I think. Kill me.

No smoke detector on this one. Done baking for the week.

We set the smoke detector off three (3) times.

Gem just gave me advert for my workplace. Cut that the fuck out.

Some of it spilled over into today, but I'm on track to finish Kitchen Confidential by the end of the holiday weekend. Tomorrow if I"m feeling ambitious I might bath Shoosh. ✔️Laundry ✔️Change blackout curtains ✔️Vacuum ✔️A/C to basement ✔️Clean bathrooms ✔️Walk the shoosh ✔️Read my book (onto part 2)

Shoosh walk report: B Very good at all the people and even two other much less well behaved dogs; still cannot walk on a leash to save her life on the forest trail and also cannot resist chomping any long grass she sees which makes it hard to let her snuffle.

We’re watching the shape of water and it’s so good but so many feelings and also so gross augh

Didn’t even set off the smoke detector

@psikeval.bsky.social Do you have a Jane Goodall biography or one of her books that you would particularly recommend perchance? Trying to keep the reading machine going and realizing I know very little about her that I didn't learn from The Wild Thornberrys

Inspired by reading Anthony Bourdain, I sharpened my chef's knife for the first time in mumblety mumble and holy shit, game changer. u would not believe the quality of my sliced tomatoes on this morning's egg sandwich.

Pediatrician ruled out autism 🙃🙃🙃

Anyway here’s a picture of the boy enjoying the return of the sunbeams now that we don’t have to blackout curtain everything to not roast alive.

this month in #projectsciencebaby failures, I was like "okay, now I know I apparently get nausea as a PMS symptom, not gonna let that fuck me up" and I DIDN'T until yesterday when it was SO MUCH WORSE THAN LAST MONTH? AND my boobs hurt which they NEVER DO? I am fucking going through it.

✔️Laundry Change blackout curtains ✔️Vacuum ✔️A/C to basement ✔️Clean bathrooms Walk the shoosh Read my book (onto part 2)

✔️Laundry Change blackout curtains ✔️Vacuum ✔️A/C to basement Clean bathrooms Walk the shoosh Read my book (now two chapters in)

Plan for the day while husband working: Laundry Change blackout curtains Vacuum A/C to basement Clean bathrooms Walk the shoosh Read my book

Apparently there was a big baseball but my two (2) baseball friends only care about the blue jays* so I had no idea til it breached containment through other friends who have baseball friends *mariners friend erasure for the bit

I’m almost caught up on reports (sob) and I bought the duck for thanksgiving and now I am free for three days. Yay. Pregnancy test tomorrow.

I actually really enjoyed Activation Degradation. You could see the Murderbot inspo but it was its own thing with a different theme and a few fun twists.

Oh also they said she weighs 29.9 kilos!!!!! Huge baby wtf.

Higgledy piggledy Timothée Chalamet Has a name meriting Endless design Much like his forerunner Benedict Cumberbatch: Hexasyllabically, Easy to rhyme

#projectsciencebaby Part of me almost wants to go back to the progesterone feeling of “god I hope I’m not pregnant “ because rn I’m sitting here feeling nauseous (because of stress about my class later or because I ate too much papdi gathiya instead of a real meal probably) and being like WHAT IF!!!

Shoosh vet report: skin/teeth/joints all look good; she’s just got some callouses and she sits like a freak for no discernible reason. No reason for the grass gorging either. It does increase the risk of blockage and parasites but otherwise doesn’t seem to be causing problems

When u live in the meanest dog hating neighbourhood but everybody at the vet loves u

Other things that made me well up besides the homesickness book: Baby’s first library display A staff member being nice to an old man seeing the fourth edition of the herbal medicine encyclopedia my mom used to have that I read cover to cover as a kid

Not me randomly crying in the indigo

Peabody

Are you kidding me!!! A coworker who I have some friction with (and unfortunately am working closely with for something) just shared me on a file with “hi ladies.” Did we not fucking. Just. Get trained in this.

I’m supposed to meet with the #projectsciencebaby doctor but she’s not heeeeere. I also don’t know why we’re meeting there’s nothing to discuss until my blood test in a week????

#projectsciencebaby I paid the 300$ sperm handling invoice for the local clinic on autopilot so I guess it’s a good thing I’m off the progesterone and feeling like maybe I do want a baby after all.

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day? Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

Evil overlord maps app, at what point are we going to accept that this is just what traffic is in this godforsaken return to office world and stop telling me it’s “heavier than average” and “getting better.” If I could be on a bus I would!!!

New staff told me today that they were told I was the person to go to for strengths based reporting and autism and pulled up a report to tell me what they liked. I’m only good at one thing but I’m damn good at it!

Somebody at lunch just tried to justify the anti immigration push because we dont have enough housing. Gosh! if only there was something government could do about that.

Man we just did a gender sensitivity training (e.g., retraumatize sea by showing them a video of a medical experience that is exactly like the ones they deal with daily) and my boss STILL just “ladies” me in a group email. Girl. Do better.

Therapist is supposed to call me at 10 scream. Complaining in hopes that that works.

Fuck meeeeee I’m so tiredddddddd and my morning commute just keeps getting worse and worse traffic wise.

Finished my book. Definitely not Murderbot. Way too much kissing.

Throw a few bones our way, receive 💀🍄!!!
