I cannot believe I once again have to think of a meal

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh okay I finalized the new homeowners insurance policy, I wrote the mortgage people their dreadful little explanatory letter about my employment options, so now THEY owe ME an update on why the interest rate they're offering is so much fucking higher than the market rate

I’m worried I have too much yarn for this project. I still have more than 2 full balls of the main color, out of 4 total, and as written, the pattern only calls for another inch of stockinette and then two inches of ribbing. Like some kind of bizarro reverse yarn chicken.

poured a little coffee in my pocket in collaboration with Murp

I’m sorry it’s just that the politics and the optics on the timing make no fucking sense is this another case of me naively assuming people are cleverer than they actually are (maybe, this is always happening, and I am always astonished)

can't imagine being like "democrat shutdown? not us, no, trump shutdown" and then after 6 weeks be like actually!!!! yeah it was us, we got nothing in exchange for the UNFATHOMABLE FUCKING SUFFERING of a protracted shutdown but only thing democrats hate more than losing elections is winning them

You can’t buy 18 lbs of fleece because you’re sad. You can’t buy 9 lbs of fleece because you’re sad. You have to move and you aren’t getting paid, you cannot buy a fleece because you’re sad.

my favorite part is the freehand cut on the right edge of "The" not even a blade and straightedge, and CERTAINLY not a guillotine cutter I expect the same high-quality craftsmanship on the ballroom

lol yeah man I bet steve was telling the absolute truth when he said those meetings you weren't invited to happened in his office because people kept getting lost and confused on the way to the oval for sure this will fix it

I divided the sleeves off the sweater* and the politics are a touch less bleak, hope everyone is partying like Trillian tonight (rolling gleefully in something nice like a dog in fermenting skunk) *legitimately unsure I can get back out of the sweater now send help

The thing to remember about this clown is he thinks the current president is his boss and he will never ever even hint that he disagrees with the man he thinks is his boss so he just says he’s never heard of anything ever.

I'm gonna run out of brain-engaging colorwork before I run out of big feelings and probably also before I'm un-furloughed and the proliferation of feelings is not improved by considering working on the little border leicester fleece (Twoflower loved to burrow into the bag and nest in the wool)

mortgage loan coordinator answer me please jesus fuckin christ

Ma’am. I do appreciate your quality control and your protective measures keeping my yarn in check and? unhaunted? I guess is the plan? But like. You are on top of it. You will be disturbed every time I pull on it.

mmmmmmm wonder how concerned a person should be at reference to 31 USC 1341 being omitted from their mass notification of continued furlough

hey I been workin on an activity I've loved for many years and it ????? fuckin rules actually? anybody ever hear of this?

I just think if I gotta have an october what sucks this bad I should at least be able to get pomegranates the size of my head but mostly I can't get any pomegranates at all

man fuck I unclenched against getting results from Toof’s pancreatic enzyme test a little too early and got bowled over when the specialist called and didn’t already know

did a litter change last night, so, cleaned up the last traces of Toof’s diarrhea. I’m glad she’s not enduring that awfulness anymore but oh there’s not much I wouldn’t give to still be following her to the box to check if I need to clean her up

man dangit this leftover cormo I spun a zillion years ago is way too thin for the colorwork I'm trying to do with it so now I gotta??? spin something else for my contrast color???

just absolutely SCREAMING in Whole Building Design Guide

what two flowers would/did you associate with Twoflower?

God I fucking miss her. I don’t know how to mark time without feedings and meds and butt cleanings and, and, and

Wanna go to bed because I’m sad/don’t wanna go to bed because bedtime is gonna bed sad/can’t go to bed anyway because my weighted blankets are in the wash* *no they are not the kind you’re supposed to wash, yes they plural, fuck the rules

I am…going to try to be generous about this, and assume the best intentions here. So, very gently, it is weird and a little bit violating to repost a stranger's message about a personal loss. Thank you, strangers, for your kind words for my dead cat, but it is not your place, please do not do this.

We lost Twoflower en route to the emergency vet. Rest easy, sweetpea. Your patient, gentle, generous heart enriched our lives beyond telling. We will love you forever.

I was married, but now I'm even more married. Women LOVE the vehicle.

Twoflower stop pooping and gain weight challenge

ever lose a round of Yarn Chicken so bad you have to make more yarn TWICE? asking for uhhhhhh no reason, nobody, just. curious

just gave Toof her first dose of Strong new medication so let’s get a No Deleterious Effects going in the chat

Tiny girl just spent a good ten minutes absolutely losing her shit watching the running water and her own shadow play against each other in the sink so I mean I don’t think she’s fully blind, but she definitely can’t judge distance, or see for shit in low light, so like same hat babe

Internal medicine specialist says Twoflower is just so good and sweet and stoic like yeah all the time she’s so great that’s why we need her to live forever or at least not experience any discomfort or even minor inconvenience that’s why we’re here

I do think it's funny to only buy a house in a cardinal direction + major city, not the major city itself, that's a pretty good bit to accidentally stumble into.

I won't say I'm not stressed about the possibility of not receiving backpay for the time I'm furloughed and NOT ALLOWED to seek other employment to pay my bills but like I do think it could be pretty funny to watch the DOJ try to argue against the plain language of PL 116-1

“myeh myeh myehhh universities who cave to trumps demands on speech and sports will not receive state funding” mealy-mouthed motherfucker drinking deep of the silly bitch juice chalice when it comes to actual action tho, quelle surprise

hmmmm if I were a municipality looking to collect licensing fees for INDOOR CATS I think I probably would Not strictly limit the number of cats a household may have to TWO, and two dogs or three if one is a cop especially if the portion of the city across the river permits up to six total

Maybe a distinction without a difference here, but commissaries and exchanges are separate services run by separate orgs. DeCA does commissaries. AAFES does exchanges, and much of that is contracting franchise leasing arrangements with private sector businesses for food courts and retail space.

Things I have attributed to government shutdown so far today: - lower than usual tire pressure - other people’s allergies

“No good answers” is a fucking inhumane theme for a season of one’s life and I think I should be allowed one tiny area in which that’s not the theme, for a treat, and so should all of you. Not those motherfuckers though and they know who they are.

OH MY FUCK YESSSSSS

My tiny beautiful poorly babycat has been extracted from her cave snoozing spot and become snoozing on my lap and I simply love her too much for this dreadful time to be happening to her and I would like to exchange this experience for the good kind that she deserves.

Being under contract on this house would feel a whole lot better if I weren’t so worried about my beloved little cat and trying to avoid but simultaneously become accustomed to the idea that she may probably not be making this move with us.

Why does cat amoxicillin smell like That

We made an offer on a real cute house and it’s been accepted.

Welp. Guess I’m moving to North Dakota in the middle of winter.

Oh my fucking god my kingdom for locked accounts

I’m taking Twoflower to have a feeding tube placed in a few hours. Ideally this will give us a lower-stress way to manage her food intake while we wait to see if the cyclosporine will help but it might just be a way for her to be able to better enjoy the time we have left together.

Half my coworkers have turned into Men With Tools and so the office is not a great place to do desk work today. They’re so pleased with themselves though.

surely would be nice if the medication that was supposed to be delivered by noon today showed up like. at some point. ideally before I go to bed so I can put a dose of it inside the beloved little cat who needs it and is also really concerned that I have forgotten she's supposed to get a fish tube

Spent several hours and about a thousand bucks at the vet last night with Toof. For looks like,,,, needed a dose of antibiotics? I guess?
