Rando test
I need to test something so this is a tesssssst
I’m blowing balloons with my nose
No. No, I’m absolutely not kidding. I wish I was. I would love to be annnnnywhere other than standing in my bathroom watching myself blow up a balloon with my nose. LOL. I just, I just can’t. My life man.
I have an issue with my eardrum. It’s not moving with sound like it should. I’ve done extensive PT on it. It’s not working. The next step would be a procedure I don’t want. As a last resort I found Otovent. I’m telling you when I found this I for real thought someone was pranking me. It’s a balloon attached to a nose piece that you blow up with your nose in hopes of regulating the pressure in your Eustachian tube. No, I’m not fucking kidding. Stop looking at me like that, I didn’t make it. I’ve had so many issues with my ears. Actually it’s just the left one, he’s an asshole. It started with a weird balance thing and a blocked ear. When the doctor told me what it was my ear was so blocked I thought she said “You have a space station issue”. I almost fell over, I have a what now? Ma’am my space station is just fine. How dare you.
So, three times a day I stand in my bathroom and blow this damn thing up with my nose while my better half yells: “Booger Balloon!” from the other room. Kill me. I shit you not. Every time.
Apparently the issue I have is also called “Glue Ear”. Really? Could we get any more ridiculous? Why? The fucking mental that accompanies that. LOL.
So, there you have it. I am blowing booger balloons for medical reasons. What are you doing?

Hurricanes & crusty kittens
We were thankfully mostly out of the path of this last hurricane. My brother and sister both live in one of the Carolinas. Just like my house, each of theirs was just out of the way. I couldn’t believe all three of us came out ok with all the destruction that went down. So much heart break.
My mini plagues are coming along. Crusty. Little. Sharp. Plagues.
You can’t tell how big this guy is here, but my stars. He is going to be massive. He’s only a few months old and his legs and paws are HUGE.
I guess I should go back to studying. Just wanted to reach out to let you all know I was thinking of you. Hope you all found yourselves safe from all the things. All of them.

Lint Licker
Yesterday morning started like this. Sitting on my back porch watching my dog do dog things.
Then, I had this overwhelming feeling that I needed to get the dryer vents cleaning. Randomly bonkers, I know. So. I called and someone came within 2 hours. He got down off the roof with a look on his face. My dryer vent was 100% blocked. That’s a fire, my friends. I really hot one, lol. Sigh. He said it looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in 20 years. Ugh.
Why can’t I have these feelings about things that will make me money? LOL.
Today I’m taking care of the lawn. I’m about to go get the garden weapons and beat up the hedges.
I will leave you with this sign that we saw on the way to the dentist this week:
What’s this remind you of? LOLOL.

Fungus gnats, runny eyeballs, & Salad for breakfast
Fungus gnats are the worst. I want to burn my whole house down and start over. Is that an option? I’ve treated evvvery plant I own. I don’t want to admit how many that is.
The funny part about the kittens I adopted what the rescue named the male: Leopold. Who the hell even thinks of such a name these days? Me. Me, that’s who. I do. That’s a name I would have chosen, lol. I didn’t know his name when I told the rescue I wanted him. When she handed me the paperwork, I laughed so hard. Welp, that was meant to be. I would have named him Mr. Humphries, so Leopold tracks. Don’t look at me like that. At least I didn’t name him Wilberforce.
Mr. Leopold Humphries is at the vet with my better half because the whole adoption process was sketchy as hell, and they are smaller than I think they should be. I wanted them checked out as soon as possible. Plus, Leopold’s eye looks irritated. Do you hear that sound? It’s real loud. It’s the sound of me hemorrhaging money. I don’t even want to talk about the HUGE kitten cage I am waiting on and how much that cost. Totally not sorry. These kittens are wayyyyyy younger than the rescue told me. They are so tiny. So, so tiny. I have dogs, these kittens need to be protected until they can protect themselves when I am not home. (Annnnnd it was just confirmed from the vet that they are so much younger than I was told. WTF people. Eh, just more justification of the crazy amount of money I spend on a catio lololol).
I guess I should thank the Universe. It gave me what I wanted for the first time in a while. I wonder if that means the coming year is going to be better than the last 5. lol. One can hope, right?
I made salad for breakfast because I couldn’t decide what I wanted, so of course that meant salad. I need to go shopping, ugh. There’s that sound again.
Rando blurry photo of my coffee cup. Isn’t it pretty?
But the real beauty is the coaster:
I guess I should get ready for work. Ugh, pants. I hate pants.

Was it something I said?
Browsing through blogs here, when I find a new one/first post, I usually comment “Welcome!”.
I did that yesterday on a rando as I was reading blogs. The person replied asking how I found their site, and then promptly deleted their blog. What the what? Mkay sketchball. LOL
I wasn’t even being creepy, this time! I was just being nice, commmmmme backkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!
Bahahhaha what the hell, people.

Atlas
After Phoenix died I was a mess. I just didn’t know it.
A close friend told me I needed to go find another dog, stat. I thought she was nuts. But, morning after morning I looked over the bedside before I put my foot down so I didn’t step on a dog that wasn’t there. I moved to the side in the hallway, for a dog that wasn’t there, I constantly looked for a dog that wasn’t there, and left the bedroom door open for a dog that just wasn’t there. The list goes on, and on, and on.
So, I looked on all the sites, and hated every one of them. They were all cute. But, they weren’t mine. Months went by. Then I saw a photo, and even though he was in a different state and wayyyyy more money than I would have liked to spend, I immediately knew I would be taking him home. My better half immediately agreed, and later paid for him because they couldn’t stand how broken I was.
We drove to Georgia, and he wasn’t exactly what the breeder said he was. But, in the end, that is ok.
Atlas
Atlas & Randle
If you are asking yourself: “Is that..?” yep, it is. That is indeed a Malinois. At the time, I wasn’t looking at the breed, I was looking at his face.
I guess it is on brand for me. lol. My dogs are always big, and kinda dangerous. The fact that they named him Atlas is also funny given my love for antique maps.
He’s currently tell me it is time to go outside, soooooo ……..

This year is the same as last year
I knew this year wasn’t going to be great. lol. But, I didn’t have to be right. You know?
My better half’s grandmother was dying so we flew out to Maine. It snowed, her parents did what they do best, and I tired to pretended not to see it so I didn’t have to show my temper. It was hoot.
That’s all I got.
