We’re all fed and medicated.

I think that I found a crate for Bella, but I need to clean out the bedroom to make room for it.

Woke up a little before my alarm at 7 AM. Took the dogs out, and I’m wondering if I should lie back down for a half hour. I lay down for an hour. I'm going to have to scramble to take a shower over lunch because I have meetings before and after.

Today is going to be a zoo of a day at work. I'm already grumbling in my mind about going to choir because I want to lie down, but I'll go and it'll be okay.

Dubai chocolate is one of the only types of chocolate I like (basically, I like chocolate when it's mixed with something else). But sheesh, it's expensive. I think that I need to stop buying it. That led me into looking for a pistachio cannoli, but no luck. Found a nice restaurant with cannolis though.

Rehearsal for choir went well, although I was hoping that we would get out early, but she kept us the whole time. We’re singing some songs I like though.

I spent some time unwinding, although I have a headache. I fed the critters, and it's time to go to sleep.

Spent almost all day out because I couldn't do anything due to the stupid power outage and when I got home the elevators were STILL not working. Good thing I only live on the second floor and not the top one.
Got a weird e mail that seems to be charging someone named Patrick Thomas $300 for a year renewal of Geek Squad by way of some guy named Nick Smith. Sounded like a scam to me especially since I bought this computer a good deal less than a year ago and don't know anybody named Patrick Thomas or Nick Smith and didn't sign up for any yearly renewed membership at Best Buy. Also noticed bad spelling on the e mail. I tried calling Best Buy but was on hold for ages.
Had a nice goat curry for lunch out but most of the rest of the day was kind of disappointing. Lot of places were closed, no movies playing around I wanted to see, my friends were too busy to hang out. Pretty weather though and the pet store was at least open so I got to look at some cool parrots.

And, we're done. With Summer, that is. In the 10 day forecast, there are no days when the high goes over 75 and a couple of days when it does not get to 70. Whew. Nice. Also the night time lows start to dip into the 40's and I can open my bedroom window again. Julio will be quite excited. He loves the window open and so do I.

I was able to cancel all Key Bank accounts via text and it didn't even take that long and the agent didn't even ask me why. Success.

I have a couple of errands to run but nothing critical and I will probably put them off until tomorrow when house cleaning is here.

Today feels like it needs to be lazy. At least this morning. This afternoon is the first aqua stretch class. Should be interesting.

It has taken me two hours to write this - stopping to fall down rabbit holes and find out what crashed in the bathroom then cleaning out the litter box, etc. So clearly, I've got nothing critical to say this morning. Time to post.

We live out in the country, and haven't seen many cats over the years. Cindy says there's a long-haired grey one, but I'm not sure I've seen it. There's a white one with grey patches on its face and hindquarters, and a grey tail. Last week I saw it in the wildflower garden.

And then I realized I hadn't seen many chipmunks or voles this year. I don't always see the voles, but I didn't see any sign of them in the vegetable garden this year - no gnawed vegetables. And I don't think I'd seen a chipmunk since early summer. So I figured that must be because of the cat.

But then I saw the cat creeping toward the round garden, where I know there is a young rabbit. The rabbit took off, and I don't think the cat caught it. But then I realized if there are rabbits around, maybe the cat hasn't been catching the rodents? And soon we saw the cat get a baby rabbit out of the round garden. I didn't know there was a nest there.

The next day we saw a chipmunk out there. So never mind whatever I thought about the cat keeping the rodent population down.

Dog Training Class

I ordered a scale that computes what percentage of your body is fat vs. muscle. Expensive, but motivating?

Got laundry going. The cats want their nighttime meal.

Got up on my own a little before 7 AM. It’s downright cold out, 48F/9C. I need to dig out a sweatshirt to wear outside.

I need to figure out how to follow a Mediterranean diet. Dementia runs in my family, but you can reduce risk by following the diet. And exercise helps too.

I’m trying to keep moving because I want a nap this morning before I cut up hot dogs and take Bella to training.

Showered and dressed. I’m feeling shaky, so I had a protein bar.

Gracie is barking at the cats. Sigh.

We went to the dog training class. It was good. We were the only students there at first, but another person and dog showed up late. We did “sit” and “leave it”. Bella was good except for stress peeing a little. We did “leave it” with some beef jerky that Bella really liked, so I bought some while Bella was making friends with the cashier to the left! I want to bell train them to go outside, but I didn’t want to go all over the place looking for the bells, so I’ll order them from Amazon.

Ate lunch. I want to take a short nap if the dogs will let me. Right now, they’re wrestling. They settled down. Fed everyone except me. I’m not all that hungry.

Bought a pan and tilt Web cam to use for piano lessons.

I'm tired. I'm thinking of going to bed early and getting up early. I'd like to stop by the gym tomorrow and have an orientation. Oh, and choir starts up again tomorrow night.

Had some black tea with cinnamon and ginger this morning, then spent several hours having fun at the Haight St Fair, then came back home and did laundry. I'm annoyed that tarot.com seems to be down permanently.

I mostly post about: Fanart, fanfiction, character/story development, personal ramblings

My hobbies are: Illustration, writing, collecting figures, plushies, and other merchandise (both official and fanmade)

My fandoms are: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003, IDW, 1990, Splintered Fate), Pokemon, plenty of other animated TV shows and video games I won't bother listing

I'm looking to meet people who
: Share my interests, are open-minded and respectful, and otherwise pleasant and chill to be around.  
 
My posting schedule tends to be
: Aiming for at least once a week, possibly more frequently depending on how chatty I feel or if I have art/writing I'd like to share

When I add people, my dealbreakers are
: I do not tolerate any form of bigotry. AI "art" and "writing" is also a major no-no, and I have a few major squicks on the shipping front that I prefer to avoid as much as possible. In addition, I will not subscribe to or add users to my access list who are under the age of 18.

Before adding me, you should know:  For the moment, none of my entries are locked and anyone is free to subscribe.

Superglue

I learned a while back that when you reach for the superglue, also reach for the acetone. It scares the superglue into not glueing everything in a 1 foot radius of your target. Science. I promise.

I have a big toe with a problem nail. It's been a problem for a lot of years and I think it's about 6-9 months away from growing back to no problem. But, it takes some babying. There's a vertical split half way down. What I'm shooting for now is keeping it from snagging on my pants or the sheets or my socks and encouraging to grow out perfectly. This morning, I cut, filed and could not get it totally unsnaggy so superglue. gel.

Application 1 was a success. Later on, I'll get a piece of teabag and glue it to the whole nail. With the acetone within reach.

My swim was really good. It's really helping my back/leg issues. And I'm enjoying it.

The pool is reserved today from 2-5. Butch (who lives with his wife in the other wing) is turning 90. They have invited all their children, grandchildren and great grandchildren to a pool birthday party! I love that. If I were a little kid forced to come to an old folks home for a yawn-adult party, I'd be instantly perked by the idea of the pool. With no lifeguard!!

Laundry is laundrying. The Mariners are up 9-0 over the Braves in the 3th. And I have meatloaf for a sandwich for lunch.

My food money has to be used up by Wednesday and I got a bright idea yesterday. Every night, as an option, they have plain grilled chicken, plain grilled salmon and meatloaf. You can add sides or just get the cooked meat/fish. Last night I ordered the meatloaf and for $10 I got enough for four sandwiches. SCORE!! This is an idea that will be repeated, probably monthly.

The Mariners game is on Roku. So they have some low rent non-denominational broadcaster with a Mariners broadcaster (the one I like the least) and it is painful to listen to. So I'm doing the radio/TV combo. They are also doing to the 'interview the player out in the field WHILE HE IS SUPPOSED TO BE PLAYING THE GAME' SOOOOOOO stupid. I have Closed captions on. The game is going on and these two broadcasting yahoos are talking to this Braves outfielder about his fucking tropical fish. OMG. Time to turn on the Phillies game.

Media Post

Movies: KPop Demon Hunters! I thought it was really cute, and the songs are very catchy. I had been wanting to watch it and was going to suggest it to Scott, and then he brought it up first.

Television/Streaming: I picked back up with Buffy, first episode of Season 2, "When She Was Bad." Now, I get that Buffy obviously has some unresolved trauma from the previous season end, and she's a teenager and doesn't know how quite to deal with that, but - and even though Xander annoys the piss out of me - her coming on to him at the Bronze still seemed a bit out of place.

Also watched an episode of Farscape, "Through the Looking Glass," where Moya starbursts but then gets split in all of those different dimensions. The red looking dimension was a pretty accurate approximation of a bad migraine, I thought. Heh.

Books: I finished Ten Restaurants That Changed America. Like I said in the previous media post, I've always been a fan of food history, even since I learned that was a thing.

Going out to restaurants was always an Event when I was a child, as we didn't do it very often. Lots of times it was chain restaurants like The Ground Round (you could throw peanut shells on the floor! You could get Shirley Temples!) or Bennigan's (Turkey O'Toole on a pretzel roll! or the truly decadent Monte Cristo sandwich!) but still a treat. My grandma would sometimes take us to the local diner when we were off school for the summer, and we'd get a nice, relatively inexpensive breakfast.

Anyway, as an adult, I still enjoy going out to eat, trying new cuisines, just spending time with friends and family over a meal. And I love reading about these things, as well. So I enjoyed this book, and ended up adding a few more books to my TBR pile from the still-rather-extensive Selected Bibliography.

Freedman makes sure to emphasize at the beginning that these are not the ten BEST restaurants, but that they changed the landscape in some way. From Delmonico's (not THE oldest restaurant but the oldest fine dining establishment) to Schrafft’s (what would become a chain of restaurants that catered mainly to women, so that they would have a safe place to dine unaccompanied), Howard Johnson's (which created the franchise system and central commissary kitchens) to The Four Seasons (power lunching and elaborate menus with seasonal, not necessarily local ingredients), this book was a really intriguing tour.

In addition to the books, it also uncovered a few really cool food blogs that are STILL posting today: The American Menu (which is Henry Voigt's blog and where he highlights menus from his impressive collection), and Restaurant-ing Through History (which has intriguing details about the smaller, maybe lesser-known eating establishments; it's run by Jan Whitaker, who has published a few books about the history of department stores and tea rooms). I obviously haven't had a chance to peruse too deeply on either of these sites, but they look really awesome and if I find anything cool, I'll be sure to share.

Huxleyenne's Theme Hits

Age: 36

I mostly post about: I ramble briefly about writing, wrestling, people, whatever I'm feeling. I try to save my most crude and raunchy language/ideas for the fanfiction that I write. As a person who's been on the Internet long enough to know what it's like to run a Geocities site, I've seen... oh god. I've seen things. We've all seen things we cannot unsee. Sometimes I can be a little sardonic and grumpy about it, but I have a sense of humor. I'd always rather laugh, even when I'm crying. Not in a toxic positivity sort of way, but more in a way that I don't burden people with too much emotional baggage.

My hobbies are: Writing fanfiction, reading books and wrestling fic, watching emotionally damaged pretty people in tights get into stage fights, cooking and baking, and walking/jogging/hiking as my antidepressant (I've lost 95lbs. I am a weight loss advocate, but I'm neither fatphobic, nor do I view weight loss in an of itself as fatphobic. Let's respect each other, OK?) I'm not nearly the gamer I used to be, but I have dabbled enough in JRPGs, D&D, and Magic the Gathering that we can have conversations about all of these things.

My fandoms are: World Wrestling Entertainment (the superstars, particularly Dusty's kids f*ck the company, though!), South Park, Dragon Ball Z, Sailor Moon, Final Fantasy (in general, but 9 and 8 are overwhelmingly my faves) Stardew Valley, and gosh. Take me back to 90s/early 2000s Nicktoons and anime all day.

I'm looking to meet people who: I'm looking for chill friends who do their own thing, but take the time to say hello every now and then. I will try to do the same. I've been showing up to DW every day since I registered, so I dare say I'll be around. The only other social media site I use is Tumblr, and I don't do much there other than like and occasionally reblog wrestling stuff. AO3 is the site I'm most active on. I go where the fic goes.

My posting schedule tends to be: I'm aiming to update 3-4 times a week about any thoughts relevant to writing, but I won't force it. If I got nothing to say, then that's that. IRL, my life is super boring. I work. I exist. Not much to say about that. Carving out a little writer life on the Internet is my excitement.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: People under 18 is a hard no. MAGA is a harder no. If you are an existential threat to my people in the LGBT community, I don't respect that and never will. I will fight this prejudice until my dying breath, including any random internalized sexism/queerphobia that may still linger inside of me.

Before adding me, you should know: I'm just a writer, guys. The current flavor is kinky wrestling yaoi, which you can read on AO3 if you're interested. Other than that, I'm cobbling together a collection of original work. My favorite DW community is [community profile] fic_promptly, and I plan on posting a lot of fills. I'm still getting used to being back on DW. Apologies if I'm not always consistent.

If I were a programmer, I would write a program that disabled any opening of any link that used the words in this headline - together or separably. Once in a while, mostly on my phone, I click by accident and then RUSH to clear my cache. I don't want to be any part of any reward or payoff to the assholes who perpetrate.

There's my morning rant for you :)

Other than that, I don't got much.

The Mariner game starts at 9. The Phillies game starts closer to 11. It's now 8. But, there's no sun out. So I think I'll just hop into my suit and go swim before all the action.

a Saturday

I woke early today. Sleep was fading into consciousness around 7am when I heard the neighbors rolling the trash bins to the road for pickup, which was pushed back to Saturday due to the Monday's holiday. I knew the truck wouldn't come until after 9, but at that point I couldn't sleep, so I got up and took ours out. And I decided that since I was up early, I might as well drive over to the lake and get a photo because the clouds were good.

Our weekend morning ritual is to sit in the family room and do whatever it is on our devices. For me, it's reading on Substack. But today the house was down to 63°F, so I went out and got some wood and lit a fire. And then I couldn't stay awake and slept off and on for about 45 minutes.

I did some work outside. I trimmed some branches from the smaller ash tree. I thinned some of the irises. Picked tomatoes. We had a beer in the afternoon. I printed some photos. Posted a report in my gardening journal. What else? Seems like I'm forgetting some things.

Last night we went to the opening of a show that Cindy had some work in, and then went for some food and drink. No plans for tomorrow, except that I hope I'll be productive. Mainly, I have CoPA stuff to take care of.

I found some yoga pants to wear to the gym tomorrow. I want to go after my singing lesson.

Dogs: Oh good, you’re going to sleep. Me: You don’t have to stay up with me. Dogs: It’s our duty as THE DOGS. (The cats, on the other hand, sleep when they want to sleep.)

Gracie woke me up at 7:30 AM. I tried to ignore her, but she was persistent. She is the best alarm clock, but she doesn't have a "snooze" button.

I’m wondering where the cat dishes went. I had six of them, but now I have three. Found two of them.

Aargh. Gracie was chasing Lily, and Lily clawed up my leg trying to get away. Ouch. Fed us all.

I need to bring the dog nail clippers into the bedroom. Bella is very relaxed and probably would let me clip them.

Napped. I don’t know if the owner of the gym will be there on Saturday, and I have stuff to bring in, so I’ll go during the week.

I’m looking through White Flower Farm’s Fall Garden Book. I want to plant peonies and more irises in front and some bulbs by the street.

Showered and dressed. I think that I’m going to have hot dogs delivered so that I don’t have to run to the grocery store. Ack! The delivery fee is $7.99 plus tip. I can run over there later.

I told Zara that I will get her a heated bed after I get her room in order. (She’s curled up in a cozy bed right now.)

My new singing teacher is still awesome. She had me singing major, minor, and chromatic scales and some really high notes. (She thinks that my problem with high notes is psychological.)

Oliver busted into Zara’s room when I left. Sigh.

I’m bringing food in from outside. I think that I will have the hot dogs delivered after all to get more time to get stuff done. Plus possibly a nap :) I had enough in Rewards Bucks to defray most of the delivery cost. And I got a check from my pet insurance that pays for the rest of it.

Hmm. Breck’s has a fern collection and also Astilbe, both of which I want for the shade garden. Should I get them now? Would they have time to root before it gets cold?

Hmm. Reading [personal profile] blue_eye’s post about Iceland got me wondering about a cruise to Iceland. Here’s one that sounds good.

Cat in my face. It must be feeding time at the zoo. (It is.) Fed us all.

I’m reading The Little Black Book of Workout Motivation, and it’s the best book about goal setting that I’ve read. It applies to all goals, not just exercise. And it suggests other books to read. Hmm, I could read on the exercise bike at the gym.

Okay, I ordered crocuses, tulips, irises, peonies, and daylilies. That's plenty for one day.

I'm thinking of going to bed because 1) Gracie will probably get me up at 7, and 2) I need to take Bella to her training class. And I'm yawning.

Tongue holes

Elbow Coffee was an hour of biting my tongue. But, except for one time, I did good. Joan told everyone that yesterday Seattle's air quality was the worst in the world. This is very much not true. The worst air quality listed for Seattle yesterday was Moderate. And I said so. Seattle has had the worst air in the world - in past years. Not, so far this year.

But, otherwise, the whole time Jim (the other Jim) was describing his TV issues (Xfinity gave him a new box and he couldn't get the channel he wanted (it's a streaming channel and he does not have the TV connected to wifi), I kept my mouth shut. If he had asked, I would have explained but he didn't so zipped lips. An Ingrid can't get email because 'my system is Yahoo and Yahoo says I have too much.' Jim (same Jim) said usually messages like that include and offer to sell you a solution. To which Ingrid replied 'well of course they did but I'm not going to pay them an extra $2 a month!!' My trap? Shut. Completely.

I was winding yarn into balls so my head was down and I kept my face totally neutral.

We have a new puzzle in the elbow today. But I have a baseball game at 1 and one at 4 so not a whole lot of time!

Having some English Breakfast tea. One of the idiots who run this bldg put up the flyer too late so I didn't know about one of their parties yesterday until after it was over. If I didn't know better I'd think he did that on purpose. Oh well. I had a better time later anyway, I went to hang out with the gay dudes in the Castro, had a couple of drinks and partied and had dinner and looked at some great paintings and got free cake and listened to great music and had some really interesting conversations.

It took me five minutes to clean off the stairs. Funny how something that seemed daunting last night was so easy. And Bella’s diarrhea seems to be gone, so I’ll call and cancel the appointment. Someone at work wanted to meet with me this morning, so that will work out well. I’m going to lie down for a half-hour.

I spoke too soon about Bella’s diarrhea. I got a sample. Tried to lie down, but the dogs were restless, until I got up, and then they closed their eyes. Snots :)

Oliver and Lily are chasing each other. A quiet, peaceful workplace. NOT!

I took Bella to the vet. They said that the fecal sample that I provided was too small, so they would do a rectal exam—and found normal poop. It had to have been Bella with the diarrhea though because she was the only one in the room with me. They’re running tests out of an abundance of caution. Bella put her front paws at the front desk to say, “Good-bye”. Everyone ooohed at her.

I signed Bella up for an obedience class at PetSmart on Sundays.

I had my appointment with my psychiatrist. We're just going to keep on keeping on with my meds, etc. She still will be available despite the changes at OSF.

Bella is still Giardia- and other parasites-free.

I moved my COVID and flu shot to next week because I'm not going anywhere soon. I really want a nap after work. Slept until 11 PM. I had a face full of dog kisses. The cats are like, “What’s with you? Feed us!” Fed the critters and gave Gracie her meds. Now I need to eat. Gracie: "I really want your food." Me: "Forget it, Gracie. I get to eat too." Gracie: "But I REALLY want your food." Etc.

I'm going back to bed.

Last night, Hazel came in for help. She had, earlier in the day, brought John over to the apartment and he could not get his Fox news on the TV. Only Netflix (which is her channel). The most difficult part was understanding what the problem was. The answer was the cable box had been turned off. Hit that button and all was fine. She thinks I'm a genius.

Just now, Jim, knocked on the door and needed me. Jim moved in just after I did. He's been on a neurological decline ever since. His ability to articulate is nearly gone. Today, he poked his head in and said he needed me. I said here? or your place? My place. So we went over. And here was the conversation:

Me: So the problem is the TV?
Yeah, this is what I want [pointing to the TV] but I can't get it.
I got up and got something and when I got back, this [pointing to the TV] is all. And, nothing has changed [pointing to the coffee table].

Jim, where's your clicker? Your remote?
Oh, I have to find that. And he immediately opens his refrigerator.

I looked around and spied it on the desk next to his computer.

Is this the missing link? Now will it do what you want? I put the remote in his hands and he punched a few buttons.

You are a genius.

I am kind of proud that I cracked the case with so few clues.

I crawled into bed last night looking forward to continuing my book - a Scottish police procedural read in this wonder Scottish accent... only to discover my brother had returned it (he thought he was the one who had checked it out) and now it's not available. I have to wait in line... again! My brother and nephew and I share a Libby account with three libraries to pick from. It often works fine but once in a while, it does not. Grrrrrrr

I texted the two of them to ask them please not to do that any more. And heard back from my nephew. We had a lovely chat. He wants to come visit next June when the Red Sox are here to play the Mariners. That should be fun!

Much fog this morning. I got up and had coffee and internetted. I was not really all that interested in swimming but figured I'd go anyway and then stop and pick up the menu for next week and my package in the Amazon locker.

There's a COVID outbreak in the nursing/assisted care/memory units. Ugh.

The swim turned out better than I expected. I was glad I went. I got the menu and totally forgot the package. Oh well, more steps won't kill me.

Tuesday starts legit streaming of Jeopardy and I'm beyond excited. I've been watching it via illegal YouTube uploads for about a year. I will miss the janky recordings, the Arabian ads, and the hit or miss availability of the show. Actually, no, I won't miss those at all. But I do appreciate their efforts.

Both my baseball teams play at 4 today. The Mariners need to start winning.

Biggie's into his morning nap and Julio is playing with his laser toy. I think I'll get dressed and go get that package.

Got up at a little before 6 AM to roll the recycling bin out. Went back to sleep. Overslept and woke up at 8:30.

Bella is having diarrhea, but I don't know when I can get her to the vet. Tomorrow is problematic. Well, I have an appointment for her at 11 tomorrow. I'll have to drop her back and then go to my doctor's appointment. I feel like I’m living in a nightmare.

Had a case of the shakes after my shower. Food helped.

I'm trying Chronometer that [personal profile] bill_schubert mentioned. But I know why I've gained weight; eating lots of dessert. I need to get myself to eat fruit for dessert. Okay, I saved some recipes for low-cal desserts. Maybe I should focus on that first, and then the meals.

Man, I'm tired. My sleep consultation isn't until December too. I guess that I'll keep dragging myself along.

Picked up my groceries. Ran in to pick up some of my “cheap” makeup (I wear the cheap stuff for running errands and the expensive stuff when I go out of town, but you could argue that it should be the other way around) and some desserts.

Bought some books about determination because I could use a jump-start.

Brought groceries in. Damn, my back hurts. Ate and fed the critters. Started laundry.

I’m mulling over joining Planet Fitness because it’s nearby. I’m trying to decide on my membership. Do I want access to massage chairs and red-light booth? Yes, I joined, including the massage chair. It would be better to have meetings with a personal trainer, but I don't want the perfect to be the enemy of the good. I'm more likely to drag my butt five minutes away. And it's 24 hours.

My back still hurts. It's kind of pathetic that bringing the groceries in messes me up (see above), but there it is. I need to get the rest of my (non-perishable) groceries off of the back stairs, but I want to lie down and stretch out my back. I'll get up early to clear the stairs.
