So, overall, since my one cat passed in March, the remaining cat has been surprisingly okay... I partially attribute this to her being a bit of a bitch. We have been talking about taking a break from pets whenever she does pass... but it is so hard to see people looking to find homes for sweet kitties and have to say no. Partially because of the plans of a break, but also because this cat barely tolerated her own littermate, so we can only imagine how she would react to a strange new cat (she does NOT like the strays in the complex at all).

Right now it isn't too bad, but I worry when I have to go back to the office. She already has been crying when Kaleb has to go out for part of the day for his job... though I wonder if that might be because I'm still here. She doesn't seem to care if we are gone all day running errands or whatever, but she has been randomly more vocal the last month or so. I need cats to be able to talk, guys. It's 2021, why do we not have this technology yet?

Honestly, work did. 2020 was the year no one took a vacation so my job was totally overwhelmed with requests. It's better this year since they moved me to a different team, but it's still been crazy.


What is something that you consider unique to how you (or your family) make chicken noodle soup?

I hurt my knee at work. Annoyingly on the FIRST DAY I was back from my personal leave of absence for my dad's passing. Now I'm on restrictions and having to go through shit with calling out and hoping to not trigger disciplinary action for the number of points I'm racking up. This is such bullshit.

My knee is not great, but I'm able to walk. It, however, buckles when walking up or down stairs and has irritatingly random leg cramps that make it impossible to stand sometimes.

I've been crying about Dad every now and then.

Spent the weekend with family for Thanksgiving. That was good.

A year ago, I was going through therapy and not able to do what I've been able to this past year. I've been back to work, but I've also had to overcome grief and dealing with bureaucratic nonsense without my Dad in my corner any more.

This new variant does have me nervous, but more about my upcoming plans being ruined AGAIN.

I'm tired.


*all of the hugs*

You make sure to fight for your rights regarding that injury. Be sure you file for Workman's Comp if you have not already, since it was on the job, and document everything. The fact that they are threatening you with disciplinary action when you got hurt on the clock and they are legally responsible for your injury is utter bullshit. Knee injuries are no joke, and if they won't make accommodations so you can heal you should be able to go after them. Have you had it scanned yet? It sounds like something got wrenched in there pretty badly.


On my end, work is getting super busy because of the end of the year again. I'm not doing 13 hour days anymore like last year, but I did put in 3+ hours of OT on Friday just to make sure I got a project done.

Holiday stuff has been... interesting. One of my nieces and her fiance are holdouts on the vaccine (we've tried to convince them, nothing works) so it makes gatherings fun since they either need to get tested right before or not show up. So far they are willing, but it is just fucking stupid.

So California has reinstated restrictions that masks must be work indoors and yet all day today in Orange County I have seen about 50-60% of the population just ignore it. I am not surprised at all by this, just continually disappointed.

So the Mass Effect novels were awesome and made my playthough of the re-release of the games that much more awesome.

I'm up to book 5 in my re-read of the Wheel of Time series. Already curious how some things will change in the live action given what has aired so far.

So how goes the fantasy reading? That still going or did you decide to put it aside?

Fuck you work building management who can't figure out something so simple as actually unlocking the doors of the building at 7am when you are supposed to. Clearly, you can't be bothered to fix the key cards, so at least unlock the damn door when you are supposed to. It is absolute bullshit that I had to waste time driving to the office then having to turn around and drive back home just to be able to start my shift on time.

And a side note of fuck you to the managers who can't be bothered to come in before 9am to let those of us with earlier shifts in either. You want us back in office one day a week, do what is needed to make that happen.

Hey, me from the past.

Bad news, we end up getting COVID during a trip. Someone removes our mask and breathes in our face for 20+ minutes during a massage while our eyes are covered. Yup, sucks, but it happens. Ends up spreading to Brandon and our Mom. Pretty much wrecks the vacation.

The good news is we survive. Thankfully we were all vaccinated and boosted (Mom double-boosted.)


It was part of the staff that got you sick? Oh I would be livid!! LIVID.

I've gone into mini-quarantine for the next few weeks. Working from home by permission, not going out unless we have to... I am not taking the chance of getting sick right now.

Well, just got back (a week ago, really) from a trip to Alaska. We ended up getting COVID during the trip, so we were quarantining. Then had to euthanize our cat. It's all been rough lately. Our cat was pretty much my mom's companion since Dad's death.

Mom's been challenging to spend time around these days. I'm worried she's going the same as her sister much faster than we can prepare for.




*hugs* I'm sorry it's been such a rough week. Was it steadily getting worse before this whole series of unfortunate events or did the stress exacerbate it?

I had to read the "Folk of the Air" trilogy after you mentioned you found it OK (gasp, Rogue ready a YA series?!). It was enjoyable... I ended up reading all the other tie-in works as well.

Finally getting off my ass and reading the Dresden Files books (yeah, I know, late to that party)... so far I am in book 3 and it's definitely getting more entertaining as the world is unfolding.

In the wings I also have Dungeon Crawler Carl, on recommendation from a friend (WhiteRose if any of the old timers remember her)... basically, it's the trope of real life person getting tossed into a D&D-like world and a series of "What the fuck is going on here?" ensues. I am looking forward to it.

Happy that whatever nightmare cold that kept freaking me out thinking it might be covid but kept testing negative for covid is finally clearing out (it takes forever for the congestion to clear out when I get stuff like this).

Happy that I'm getting married in just over two weeks (holy shit, hi anxiety spike)

Happy that I have AC. It hit 106 at the beaches in SoCal yesterday... I would have melted.

From the stories you tell, they aren't the brightest crayons in the box, Rogue.

Kaleb's been trying to sign up to also be snipped, but the HMO said that the surgeons are backed up to next year already because of the Roe v Wade decision so we get to wait. They are actually moving to find specialists out of network to meet demand. I about fainted when I heard that.

In other news, I'm getting married in two weeks and then doing the most impromptu honeymoon ever. It's weird but kinda freeing. Normally on vacations, I have a freaking itinerary in a folder. All I really have now is "see part of Big Sur, Monterey Bay Aquarium? and show Kaleb what a CA mission looks like".... also we get to rush back from NorCal like crazy folk the weekend after thanks to the Rammstein concert we bought tickets for back in 2020 being rescheduled that weekend. What is sleep?

At the moment, taking the car in to get a faulty tire pressure monitor sensor fixed. We check the tires regularly, but it just seems like every single time we fix one, another fails like a month later.

What is the most WTF thing you have ever heard about being stolen?

So we got new plates. Turns out that the stolen plate was on a *gasp* stolen car. They caught it because the had a different stolen plate on the front.

Oye. Just oye.

So hearing you tell me the story about Julia Pastrana in person made it even more tragic, just saying.

Hmm, the best way to make a s'more I think is to start off with better chocolate like Cadbury or Symphony instead of Hershey. Something that is gonna melt better (and dark chocolate if possible). Personally, I like to get my marshmallow just starting to get burned and melty and then I assemble my s'more by setting it on the chocolate between to graham crackers, smooshing, and removing the stake I toasted it on... old school, but efficient.


What are your thoughts on the pumpkin spice vs apple cider debate?

So we have finally gone back to the movies. Saw Multiverse of Madness... it was good, even if it was starting to get more crowded like the beforetimes. Still, not a bad experience.

I still need to watch both the new Hocus Pocus and Munsters. I've heard just as much good as bad, and the "bad" stuff doesn't seem to hold much water.
