Poor Tiny Cat… our building is getting a new roof next month and my little guys are going to be apoplectic.
I’m a member of a large Facebook group that I really enjoy reading and participating in. Just found out they’re getting off FB and going to a paid app model. I can’t really pay for another subscription and the last thing I need is more social media apps to check. So I’m feeling that loss. I get why they’re doing this, the group is so huge that the moderators feel they should be compensated for the work they do to run it. I agree, but this isn’t a good fit for me. I’ll miss it.
Like, a bag of empty grocery bags? Maybe someone really really needed to scoop their litterboxes? (We now have to pay for grocery bags in my city and 9 times out of 10 they only give you paper anyway which is unsuitable for wet litter. I run errands in the just-over-the-border suburb I work in now just so I can get plastic bags to put the catshit in and I’m always still getting caught short and having to scoop it into a ziploc!)
My reusable shopping bags. I think I end up using more plastic constantly replacing these bags than I would just using disposable ones, but it’s the principle of the thing.
Also I noticed that I can see my nose in my normal field of view and now I can’t not notice that I can see my nose even when I’m trying to look at pretty scenery and it’s weirdly annoying to me.
My gendernonconforming autistic 12 year old is going for halloween dressed as Wednesday Addams. He is going to look so great! He has her build and hair and can easily do the dead-inside facial expression. But also I’m sending him to middle school in a dress. He is excited and can’t wait, and I am worried about bullying.
I’m so proud of him for not giving the smallest of shits about gender norms, but also I would worry less if he conformed more.
My complaint is that I can’t just be happy that he has a cheap and fun halloween costume that makes him happy. Instead I have stupid mixed feelings. Thanks a lot, patriarchy.
XH threatened Monday to sue the law firm that separated his retirement in the divorce, report them to the state bar, and go to the media because “it’s illegal to separate a military pension in California” and “the county court doesn’t know the law.” They politely laughed in his face, and (privately, to me) called him a dickhead.
Today he’s two days late paying support. Coincidence?
Today, the day it well and truly POURED biblical amounts of rain, was the day I had a networking meeting, video show, and a talk, all in completely different corners of the metro area - requiring me to bike, show up looking like a wet rat, and reapply makeup several times throughout the day.
