She knows I am pissed off. Hope she had a good time scratching bc this cone is not coming off again. I just want her to be BETTER & have this wound HEALED. Bc otherwise she is totally healthy & doing well. Anyone else ever deal with something like this? Vet has cleaned her ears twice this month.

my cat got out of her fucking cone while I was at work & scratched the entire healing part completely off the side of her face. It was nearly healed up. Blood all over her. I am so upset. I cleaned her up, got some meds on the sore, tightened the cone, gave her a prednisone.. god dammmmmmmmmmmit.

My animals have had me so stressed out the past few weeks: Cat has a wound from scratching her ear that is not healing well, dog was diagnosed with low glucose issue, and yesterday I was not ok. I finally fell asleep around 5am & I SLEPT slept. Feeling better today.

Just got word my former colleague from wash U, Henry Claude, has passed. He was a remarkable percussionist, led the studio musicians in dance at wash u, played for my ballet class, played for the SLSO for years, A one in a million person. Rest well Henry. You will be missed.

MU is gonna beat Florida. hell yes. Ive been saying don’t sleep on Mizzou gymnastics.

You know how life is insane right now? Ok.. so I heard TWICE today that the soccer was going be at City in STL for ‘28 Olympics. TWICE. Didnt even bat an EYE. Yea it just hit me: THE OLYMPIC SOCCER IS GONNA BE 3 BLOCKS AWAY WTF?!

Day 3 of the cone on the cat. She keeps trying to scratch her bad ear & it doesn’t work. I think she keeps scratching off the scab as it heals & gets itchy. She is so frustrated, bless her heart.

No one works as hard as Jeff & his wife at Everything Auto in Gatlinburg TN. He is doing a live on YouTube in a snowstorm, driving around looking for cars he can help get out of ditches & winching cars off the side of mountains like it is nothing. Yes Ive reached a boredom youtube flow state

My cat has been scratching her ear for 2 months. I have tried everything including 2 vet visits, tape on her back paw, meds.. I just caved & put a cone on her. Now she is having a really bad day bc she hates the cone AND cant reach her ear to scratch it. prayers for my sweet Jane.

Today is one of those news days that makes you cry for humanity. So I did that. Now i’m gonna go touch some metaphoric grass & get some lunch & try to get my head right.

I am so tired of having sinus issues.. I do steam, humidifiers, nasal spray, neti pot, decongestant, zyrtec, teas.. I started an antibiotic last night bc I was getting fatigued… this weather is too much dry air…

1st full day of work since last Thursday & your girl is tired.. lol Happy to be back to a normal schedule but I wanna thank that 2 hr nap I just took..

Had a good day. Studio is intact, cat got a good report from the vet, got recital dates clarified, Noem threw Miller under the bus, you can sense their disarray, 😉chicken tendies & fries for lunch, roads were not bad, felt so good to get out of the loft… I am grateful for a nice day.

I was just on FB & friend posted a meme calling Bovino the “1/3 reich” 🤣

lmao did he really say Americans cant have guns?

Im going to venture out. Ive been cooped up since Friday. Pray my car can make it out of the alley behind my loft.

Reached the phase of snowed in where I just sit on the couch and toss tiny chicken pieces to the dog so he can get some exercise.

Idk.. replacing Bovino is like playing whack a mole tbh.

Watching the replay. Still in my feels for missing it live.

On my mind: All day I have seen posts about how DHS killed a man. Then the NRA made a statement about how he was a “lawful gun owner.” So all I can think about is how many people of color have been summarily executed by the govt for decades upon decades for less. This is not new The skin color is

Me: So excited, it is great to see MSU & UCLA gymnastics on network tv today. STL Fox affiliate: let’s interrupt this broadcast to have an overly obvious modot update about not driving Sunday bc our reputation is ass & we do a crap job of clearing roads. Me: 🤬

While this may be unpopular… I miss the leadership Pelosi brought to the caucus.

Making snow day tacos compliments of my neighborhood grocer who had plenty of ground turkey yesterday after everyone panic shopped for a month worth of groceries.

It feels weird to try & say anything at this point. Because so many of us tried for over a decade to warn & were called names like paranoid/delusional etc. And here we are. Prayers to the victim & their family.

Not the HOA sending a firm letter about making us turn on our faucets & turn up our heat & if our unit causes any burst pipes we will be charged for it..

My cat is so tired of me. She has had an ear issue requiring meds & had to go back today to get checked out… If I walk towards her she runs away.. bless her heart..

Ice agents are apparently pulling over off duty cops 🤣

Carney’s speech at Davos will be a time stamp to look back on someday as a turning point in World History.

Because of the owner of this competition called “Varsity” which is I think owned by a private equity group. Varsity has fought against Title IX inclusion for cheer for YEARS bc they have a chokehold/monopoly on the entire industry.

Can I say something? There is not a dollar amount that exists to get me into a driverless car. ffs just make some reasonable public transportation options.

MU only .5 behind OU w 1 rotation left. Thoughts: They guy announcer is awful. He is acting like MU didnt finish 3rd last year🙄 KJ’s choreography & music is so bad. Her desire to find artistry in “quirky” is giving bad academic modern dance in the 1980’s iykyk. It disempowers these women imo.

I know you all need a laugh. Im sharing this from my tiktok. Please watch if you need some levity to balance this dark time we are in. @hartmichelle.bsky.social u know which kid this is. 🤣 www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8fS9CmF/

💯

meanwhile on tiktok..

I hope my friend @hartmichelle.bsky.social is having herself a time with the Bears in the playoffs.

Me checking in on social media once or twice a day: waves arms around wildly 🗣️ what the f is even happening rn & then puts the phone down. (fyi: This was me 5 minutes ago when I learned Iran is having a people’s uprising & djt said he condems the Iranian govt from killing protestors.)

That her last name is “Good.” I cant stop thinking about it.

Black people five years ago: you know, they can kill anyone they want to out there Everybody today: hot damn, did you know they can kill anyone they want to out there?

Just walked into a chair & broke my toe. . I taped it to the other toe but omg the pain is 12/10. seriously whyyyyyy I miss winter break already. sigh.

Im catching up on meets from the weekend. UCLA & Clemson are so far my highlights. The vibes & clarity of gymnastics with Clemson is elevated with their new coaches. Im so glad Amy is gone. You can really tell they like their coaches & are working well.

It just keeps hitting me that the US President really kidnapped a world leader & his wife.

If your position is that regime change should be forced on countries where the president does not respect democratic norms and regularly kidnaps opponents using an officially sanctioned paramiliatary, have I got news for you about your position on the United States

Went to bed. Slept ok. Woke up. Made some coffee. Sat down. Opened this app. Excuse me .. what do you mean the govt bombed Caracas & kidnapped Maduro? And he said we are gonna run Venezuela now? Whewwwwwww this is too much. Did they kill civilians? For oil? Again?

Ive been scrolling through old posts & it is really something how often I tweet about my disdain for Chuck Schumer 🤣 I stand on it, but Im still laughing at myself..

Mamdani: For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty

Happy New year indeed..

nature is healing

Watching West Wing, dog is snoring, made myself a charcuterie snack, cats are sleeping in the other room, having myself a happy little new year. Wishing us all the best in the coming year. 🎉✨

Remember the good ole days just a few years ago when flu shots were free or $10 & covid vax was free? Yea now it is $75 for flu & $200 for covid. Fuck these sociopathic billionaire capitalists all the way to the sun.

One fun thing about my health insurance is that they dont pay for vaccines. So Im about to drop $250 for a flu & covid vax. Love this for me. I figure being broke is better than being sick AND broke. Happy New Year! lol
