I cut my hair using a butterfly cut tutorial. The weight of my hair was pulling my curls straight, and it needed a split ends trim. Well, I cut two inches off most of it and 4 inches off for shorter face framing layers. You can barely tell, but now it's curly again and easier for me to manage.

Bad day, but the cats are sweet. Max was a good boy about the litter box overnight . Josie threw a fit over her food that she's liked for a week.

Max has been having a string of good days with only one dementia day this last week. He's asked to cuddle, I've been working with him on litter box retraining and making the box tough to hang out of or only go halfway in. He actually showed up to sleep on his fleece mat on the bed the last few days

Oh, the millet congee with jujubes is so good. The infused honey and white miso just adds so much flavor. I added a bit of shredded ginger, too.

Channeling Zhang Ping the Noodle Detective and making millet jujube congee in my rice cooker for breakfast tomorrow. I added a little white miso & some tumeric and ginger infused honey. My thrift store luck gave me a Zojirushi Neurofuzzy rice cooker for $10 several years ago, which makes this easy.

I found a vet who can help today. I can text and schedule it the next day after a confirmation exam. I can have Josie present too so we can all say goodbye when it's time. He had a great day today where he played with and cuddled Josie,but the fact it's easy and quick to schedule gives me peace.

Jujubes were available at the Asian market today and now I can make sweet congee.

Max has let me know. This hurts. The only vets who answered charge anywhere from $500 to $700 and they're not close by. I need the other vet hospitals and pet organizations to answer the phone or respond to my messages because they're more affordable and have mobile services.

Dear streaming services, stop putting a tag declaring what language a character is speaking over the translated text showing what they're saying. It often stays there the entire time, blocking important information. Put it right above the translation. You can do better.

I ordered fun stickers to cheer myself up. There might be a K-Pop Demon Hunters one in the batch. Also, this one, which I loved. These are created by Rachel at Doodlesandsketches.com.

If you're gluten free, I highly recommend Siete's cookies. The Mexican shortbread and Mexican Wedding cookies are so good and surprisingly affordable for GF. They're also not greasy or overly sweet like many store bought GF cookies are.

Max had a bath. He really needed one. He doesn't mind. He had his first one when I brought him home to foster and he was filthy and burned. Now it's just part of our routine althoughl Josie prances and gloats while standing on the edge of the tub, because she doesn't need a bath. 🤣

Today, I caught up on sleep. I had a mild migraine and a mild Crohn's flare. My cats kept me company, but I can see Max is declining further. It's not going to be long now. Ugh.

Well,the fever is gone, but I'm really tired after dealing with it. No more soreness in the Covid shot arm, either. Nurse Josie cat wants to sit with me while I watch TV like a zombie. Max is asleep in his guitar rack fort.

Well, maybe I should have split the vaccines up into 2 at a time instead of 4 at once. I have a fever, probably from the MMR or Tdap and an extremely sore left arm from the Covid vax. I am going to bed. Hope I feel better tomorrow. Hope you all are staying safe and doing OK.

All vaxxed. I didn't get a microchip or an embedded QR code for Satan or any of that ridiculous stuff people claim about the covid vaccine. I didn't even get X-Men mutant powers.

Getting vaxxed today for flu, covid, DPT and MMR because my titers are low for MMR and DP & I'm due for tetanus anyway.

They had gluten free coffee flavored shokupan slices at Grocery Outlet this morning. Of course I had to buy some. It wasn't as fluffy as I remember the wheat shokupan being,but it was still reasonably soft and delicious.

This morning, Max didn't recognize me or Josie. This afternoon, he did recognize us and acted like normal. I decided that he will be spoiled until Monday, and I'll call the mobile vet then if he continues like this. He's had two major accidents near his litterbox and he isn't eating as much. 💔

My sweet cat Max is in rapid decline. He has dementia and has forgotten who Josie is several times. Poor Josie is confused as to why her bestie is sometimes terrified of her. I wish I could have a talk about dementia with her. Once he has more bad days than good, I have to make a call. I dread it.

I don't wear much makeup, my nails often look horrendous and covered with ink and paint stains, I live in jeans and graphic t shirts, but I really like skin care.

🧵 Normal flirting isn't misogynist if a man hears no and stops doing it. I have had women and non binary people flirt with me and if I wasn't interested, I'd turn them down, and they'd stop. With some men, they'd use "Say Anything" as a model and just keep going despite my "no". That is misogyny.

I think I'm going to drop some of my SM accounts. I get right wing idiocy from men and women. I had a woman tell me flirting isn't misogynist. I was describing men who won't take no for an answer and think they can wear a woman down. That is misogyny because it is men not respecting their choice. 🧵

I made carnitas for dinner. I like them with roasted chipotle peppers and lots of fresh vegetables. Tonight was fresh sungold tomatoes, microgreens and radishes. I put them on hatch chili pepper corn tortillas that I made a while ago and froze for later use. It was really good.
