Bad things come in threes, right? Mom's in the hospital (doing better), our AC is dying, and apparently the pipe that brings water into the house is leaking. That's my three, yes? We'll be done for awhile, right?
I'm hot, anxious, and about to be broke. Can't take much more at the moment.

It's been a day and it isn't over yet.
9:20, my Dad's text wakes me from a restless attempt to sleep in. Something is up with Mom. I leap into clothes, get the car and race to their house. She's incoherent, high fever, etc. We have to call EMS.
Hour 5 at the ER now and we know nothing, as usual.

I've been enjoying the new planet Pheanna, in #FFXIV. The low-key crafting vibe is soothing and doesn't require too much of my over-taxed brain...

Life hack: if you want to disappear digitally, have your last name legally changed to "Test".

I'm wearing one of my favorite necklaces today because, given the bullshit going on in this country and my state (FL), I really feel I must.
I can't believe we as a country have devolved so far as to actively stop protecting children and others from preventable diseases!

Somebody won't know it until Friday, but his birthday wish has been secured.

Nothing like that half second "oh shit" moment when you hit send on a text to your spouse and immediately hear your coworker's phone buzz.
I mean, I *know* I wasn't accidentally texting him but still...

So irritated at Costco right now. I've been hunting for a Switch 2 for the kid's birthday. Costco website says Members can get one delivered just in time...
So, I reluctantly sign up for a membership, pay my fee, and head to order... Now it's Sold Out.
Bloody bait and switch. 😡

Still obsessing over here for #DateEverything, sorry not sorry.
This morning in game, I got to play dominatrix for the air conditioning (Hector) and I... enjoyed it?
Given some of my D&D characters, I really shouldn't be so surprised. 😉

Finally got to start "Date Everything' this morning and, damn, did I really need this delightful dose of silliness!
I've been excited for the game ever since Robbie Daymond (one of my fav voice actors) started promoting it and it does not disappoint!

Date Everything Review: I Kissed a Towel and I Liked It
While it may look goofy at first glance, Date Everything is a lengthy feel-good dating sim with plenty of heart, soul, and furniture puns.

The world is going to absolute shit and I just can't think of that right now because my heart is broken. 💔
We just lost Cupcake. She was fourteen, was technically my son's 6th birthday present, and was the matriarch of our little pride of house lions.

So, this happened. Big surprise from my other half who saw me wistfully looking at the preorders online.

In today's episode of "getting older sucks":
I never eat breakfast. Just can't, food too early makes me nauseous. Trying to get lunch today was a comedy of errors and so didn't happen. Nevermind, I'll get a decent dinner after my trip to the grocery store, no worries.

Some days I get so tired of the "woman is the caretaker" mentality of our culture.
I am not the biological child of my MIL so why does everyone medical skip over her son and call me first? He is the logical one to make decisions...
