@silverfox I am wishing I could hug you. Mistakes happen, head up. You've done so much good.

@derp Parton didn't want it, but I know why she's on the list. Love Judas Priest being on that list. Benetar still rocks my socks, so happy to see her, and yes, happy to see Eminem.

RE: Gardens!
@wretched I have a patio. Unfortunately, I also have some asshole neighbors that routinely steal/knock things over. We've put up a camera to try and stop it, but.. such is life. We're trying to move. We're hoping to find a whole house/half a house, something with some room for that sort of things.

RE: Gardens!
Apparently my upstairs neighbors got some new plants! I found out when they overwatered them and sent a bucketful of water down onto me on the patio.

@il-volpe Thank you for teaching me something new today! (the fertilizers and lead stuff)

RE: Health and Wealth and GrownUp Stuff
My ADHD meds have helped me a good bit, but the migraine meds have yet to really work. Of course, it's actually an anti-depressant.. and I'm hitting a deep depression, and I'm worried I should call my dr and tell them this.

@il-volpe I very much needed this today, after making a post about bisexual energy from a fictional couple, and having a straight white male rage at me for it. Oi.

@Derp Corrections & Clarifications: An obituary for “Leave It to Beaver” actor Tony Dow was published in error. Dow’s representatives initially confirmed his death to USA TODAY by email after sharing the news in a Facebook post that has since been deleted. USA TODAY has reached out to his representatives for more information.

@Derp I'm a big fan of chicken nuggets in the air fryer. Faster than the oven, and you can get a touch more crisp, but you can't let them get cold.

RE: Health and Wealth and GrownUp Stuff
I had to set up a date for Logan to be put to sleep. I am not okay. I do not know where I will get the 300+, but at least it is less than the 800 that was in my head for some reason.

RE: Health and Wealth and GrownUp Stuff
It's in just over 2 weeks. So I had to make the most depressing gofundme ever. Meantime, he is getting spoiled, all the junk food treats he loves, chicken nuggets, and cheeseburgers.

RE: Health and Wealth and GrownUp Stuff
Today I started the process of throwing away the things that I can not donate to a shelter. Half chewed bones, the bed he trampled, etc etc. It's not all gone, and I know some things will make me want to hold on to them, at least a little bit longer.
But on the plus side, I did manage to pet a pittie today, who had some resemblance to Logan. The owner looked surprised when I walked up and asked (Let's just say the part of town I was in, is not overly friendly). I had treats in my car and gave the good boy a couple. I explained to his owner why I dared walk up and ask. I did not cry. I call it a win.

@Raemira I would have had a second dog with logan, if I could have. He loved having a buddy around.
Honestly? I've had a half dozen dogs in my life, and temporary custody of more. Logan was something super, super special. There was something in that bond I've never had with another dog. Like, roommates reported him suddenly going to the doors/windows and barking when I was gone at work - and the time of day would be when i'd had a sugar crash. Weird shit like that, that could be coincidence once or twice, but not like.. a dozen times over the years.
I plan on exposing myself on purpose to dogs. I know how grateful Logan was to find 'home' with me. If there's some sort of connection with a dog like there was with him (obviously it will never be the same), I'd consider it.

RE: Health and Wealth and GrownUp Stuff
Thankfully, no one who lives here has those kind of balls.
He's supposedly a pit/mastiff mix. But if you look at him? Yeah no, he's too small for that. He's got to be mixed with a breed that's more 'talkative', because lord does he like to vocalize. And I found out, they have another dog, that is going with them. It's not that someone is allergic, so much as they were told only one, so they're taking their older female with them. Whatevs. Remy is better off here with me.
He's got a lot of curiosity, and it's what, day 3, and he's already learned the hand signal I use for 'sit'. He's learning to sit and wait at the doors to the outside (something I consider important) but the inside doors, he doesn't seem to understand yes I want him to do that too lol. But hey, progress is not always linear.
He's got some food hang ups. He doesn't seem to feel comfortable eating from the raised dishes, he seems afraid to just stand there and eat. He will take a bite and walk away, etc. But if I hold it, or put it on the floor, he'll dig in a bit more. He does love the bones and chews, and chewed so hard he broke the hoof he was given. I also realized today I was missing things supposed to be in the 'mixed' bag they gave me, and there's a bit CUT down the side of the bag. So tomorrow, it's back to Petsmart with the damaged bag. Because there's a rib bone and another bone missing. There were supposed to be six things, and were only 4. Sigh.
I'd been looking for a suitably geeky name. Then a friend of mine I sent a picture of him to, sent me a picture of a gorgeous bottle of Remy Cointreau all lit up, and the cognac was like the color of his fur. And Remy LeBeau for the geek angle. Not the picture he sent me, but a very pretty shot, and the cognac really shows all the colors in his fur (the non white)
I cried last night. I have Logan's box of cremains on the dresser thing at the end of my bed, next to the tv. He was sniffing at it, and looked at me, and..boom. And I cried and he came and starting giving me kisses and pawing at me, and I told him all about Logan. Then he laid down next to me and put his legs over mine.
He shows such ability to be sweet and loving, and then he gets all rambunctious. But he makes me laugh and sigh in frustration, but.. yeah. Even if this is just a rebound for both of us, this is a better place for him, and I think this is helping me, too.

Random As...
Just a lot of tumbling thoughts, with no one place to put them.
I wanted to thank a lot of you for the support a couple months back. It means a lot.
RL has been rough, there was surgery, etc etc (Everything is good, it was just fixing something minor)
I haven't been RPing anywhere, and while I still have things I want to do with characters in my head..
It's amazing how much I've caught up on, in shows my friends watch, and doing little hobby type things, when I'm not trying to MU at least several nights a week. But it's still very weird. I've been RPing my entire adult life. I don't know how I feel about it.
