We’re taking our dog to the vet soon. She’s been weird all day, not interested in food or water, anxiously shaking, standing in weird spots staring off at the wall. The vet didn’t want to wait until tomorrow to see her. So now I’m on the verge of tears worried something is really wrong. sudsy, is doggie dementia a thing? It is, but usually it doesn’t spring up out of the blue like that. How old is she? Does she have any history of seizures?

If MH isn’t home in 10mins I am going to start drinking without him. I swear that man can always make a 10min grocery run an hour and half minimum.

My parents came over this afternoon and showed me the houses my brother is looking at in Seattle. Just a bunch of $2 million houses on the Sound with views of the skyline. No big deal. Me

Is your brother single, microworm? Asking for a friend 😬 He is! Problem is we don't quite know his sexual orientation. He is very private.

The damn quarantine kitty keeps making a run for it anytime we open the door. He ran into the wild brush on the side of our house and I had to chase him down. I came out with the asshole cat and about 829184 million stickers covering my clothes.

Someone drink for me. The heating element went out on our 4 year old dryer. So I'll be driving to my mom's after work tomorrow to do laundry. Blahhhh. I hope we can get someone out within a few days to look at it. Bye money!

I hung up MH's still wet stuff in various places to dry since we discovered it when I went to pull his stuff out. But I needed to wash both baby laundry and bath and kitchen towels in the next couple days and I want those dried with heat.

Thank you! Bloodwork all came back good, so now we’re waiting on X-ray results. The vet was thinking maybe a tumor? Or something neurological causing the shaking? I’m hoping she was just being ornery and acting weird to mess with us. Fingers crossed!

Ugh, that sucks, goldenbird. Hopefully it’s not a super expensive repair.

He's now coming up on his 1 year dating anniversary with his girlfriend and she just recently moved in with him. We all love her and I hope they last. When I've asked him about rings he said she needed to move in first so now I'm curious if we see a ring on Christmas morning. Truth be told, we all thought he was gay... 🤷♀️

Worst case, IME, I was able to hang dry and then tumble dry to soften them back up when our dryer did that.

My evening went a little sideways. My stepdads ex girlfriend (so who he dated after my mom passed) reaches out and we ended up talking for 2 hours. It was a lot of intense stories about family stuff I didn’t know was going on. I’m glad she called me because I can do something about one of the parts but I have an emotional hangover from the information.
Then my dinner that I planned to cook took way longer because I’m a dum dum and didn’t fully read the directions.
Then I left a bag of groceries on the floor in the kitchen after they had been delivered and went out to tell H something. DS comes running yelling that the dogs are eating the food. They had got into a bag of tortillas and didn’t leave one untouched. My fault, but still, damn dogs.
It’s been a long day.

There’s a fly in my room and I am going to have to sleep somewhere else because it is invisible until I close my eyes and it buzzes around my head.

I’m hoping she was just being ornery and acting weird to mess with us. Fingers crossed! We had an incorrect diagnosis of seizures for ~2 years with one of my dogs and ended up at a neuro for him. If you end up going in that direction, happy to share any part of the experience that's helpful. Thank you! I’m sorry you dealt with that, how awful. For right now, bloodwork and X-ray came back good, except she has really bad arthritis in her shoulders and spine, and it’s causing a lot of pain. Which accounts for some of her weirdness and not eating I guess. I hope the pain meds help her. Poor DD is distraught that our doggie isn’t feeling well.

I’ve been a little worried about my old gal this week too. She’s been acting a bit off and I’m afraid she’s in pain. Keeping an eye on her and might take her in. Another thing to consider is cbd treats. They sell them at pet food express if you have one near you.

Thanks for the tip about CBD, there’s a pet food express the next town over.
