Dear Reddit, how do I (33F) get my cat (21F) to stop knocking on heaven’s door all the goddamn time when clearly she has no intention of dying?
Anyways, surgery on Tuesday, Miss Mia’s last remaining tooth seems to have to go. Pretty sure I caught her browsing Amazon for nunchucks earlier.

Taking the cat to the vet because on top of everything, the cat has developed an infected tooth (which isn’t covered by insurance).
Do y’all think I can ask the vet for a little treat? A little bit of euthanasia for me? A dash of Euthasol straight to the veins? Please? As a treat?

The last five years have been one big Monday. I guess at least the trauma made me funny.

I joked yesterday about how I was suspicious of my car, given how long there hadn’t been any issues. Given I’ve just lost my livelihood and was forced to move, it feels like the car is brewing something up to suit the occasion.
Anyways, today my very expensive bike got stolen.

As a total aside to a super important post: it is so wild to me that the term “Kristallnacht” is still used in the anglosphere. My skin crawls a little every time I read it.

So y’all recall I got fired by my manager, who also happens to be the boyfriend of my team mate and direct competitor? Anyways, guess who inherited all my old contact leads and is now farming commission on them, and guess into which household that commission flows?

It is just after eight and I’m travelling to Stockholm with a very excited eight year old, who is about to see her long distance bestie again.
I’m begging my ADHD meds to kick in; I love this child with all my heart but I don’t think she has taken a singular breath between words since we left.

“Why is the council opposite sending me cat photos?!”
No clue what @bearlawyer.bsky.social is complaining about, being a lawyer in Sweden sounds like great fun.

We just signed the contract, so it’s written in stone. Excuse me while I positively lose my mind.
Green. Timber.
I’m going to be insufferable and I’m so sorry in advance.

Starting off this morning with @bearlawyer.bsky.social giving the small orange son a stern talking to for attempting to eat the jelly Halloween window stickers.
I maintain it isn’t his fault that he’s perpetually unlucky when it comes to thinking. Also, those stickers look delicious. Jelly!

I’ll be honest, preemptively announcing that you will be ghosting candidates unless you’re interested is a new low in HR.
“Please invest two to three hours of work for the chance to be considered for a rejection!”

Side note: I have a mental image of old wooden cottages esp. in Central East Europe having flower garlands painted on them on the beams or right beneath the roof. I’ve frantically tried to google this but can’t come up with anything. Anyone know what they’re called? Or am I hallucinating?

Y’all. The crossed fingers worked. We got it half a million SEK under asking. I hope you’re prepared for lots of annoying “renovating my ancient house with my equally ancient cat” content.
Did I mention it’s from the 1700s? And has exposed green timber? And a barn? And a fireplace?

Okay, I’m going to need all your fingers crossed. We found ✨the✨ house. Nothing in my life has been smooth sailing as of recently, and if there is one thing I need to go smooth it’s this. I don’t mind the rest of the chaos, but that house? That’s what I need to work out.

In true “we are a trustworthy family that you should totally sell your house to” fashion, we all collectively overslept and will show up to the viewing of this idyllic lake view villa one child short and presumably at least two shirts inside out. They’re lucky at least one of us brushed their hair.

Related: Some guy at my old job once told me not to order her expensive medical cat food in bulk, because “it’s only a matter of time anyways” (he was generally quite vocal about thinking that adopting an old cat is a waste of money).
I often think about the fact that she has outlived him by now.

I can’t sleep for the life of me, but at least I went on a research deep dive and found the human supplement that contains the same active ingredient as the cat’s anxiety meds at about a tenth of the cost. You win some, you lose some. This creature will be so fucking chill.

The cat is attending more pressing matters now, given that she finds the repetitive idyll of the southern Swedish countryside quite offensively boring. Not enough brutalist architecture, or secret basements to execute the bourgeoisie in (she will not elaborate further without her lawyer present).

The cat is assisting me in choosing which of the pre-selected houses to book for viewings. After all, she used to have coffee with Frank Lloyd Wright every Thursday (until he got too busy with that Fallingwater nonsense, way too wet in her opinion) and has an exquisite taste in architecture.

Ursa Major has announced that she will simply become a very rich and accomplished writer and then @bearlawyer.bsky.social and I can become trophy parents instead of having to be trophy spouses to each other. Nobody tell her, because I could get used to that thought.
