#aflife — Public Fediverse posts

today's plans:
✅ breakfast
- take out recycling
✅ post pictures for fiberuary​
✅ put away clean dishes
- #HebrewStudy?
- make living room livable again

I have therapy soon, then a couple hours to myself before work. also I'm thinking of changing the #AFLife hashtag? I modeled it off of @sheepchase's #sclife, but I'd like it if there was a more widely used hashtag like "Life Posts" or "A Day In The Life" or something? anyway, time to get ready for therapy!

okay, fox, time to get off the couch and go into the kitchen and make some food! you can do it!

#AFLife

I didn't end up doing anything else on my list yesterday ... the maintenance person shows up right as I was about to take out some recycling, and then I just lost momentum 🤷🏻

so I mostly played Blanc until I had to work, and then work was stressful, and then my girlfriend came over with candy and I didn't really work the rest of the shift, and then we ordered food and played a little Blanc until she went home

so it was definitely a nice night overall

#AFLife

good morning friends!

#AFLife

OMG, my apartment is WARM again! the maintenance human drained a bunch of water from somewhere??? and now it's warm??? I don't understand, but I'm happy to not be shivering!

#AFLife

I start work in four hours and I'd like to get a few things done before then ...

- take out recycling
- post pictures for #fiberuary
- put away clean dishes
- #HebrewStudy?

Midna is on the bed with me, and she's in a very playful mood, attacking my feet 🤣

#AFLife

AND, the #VideoGame that I've been impatiently waiting for for MONTHS, that I pre-ordered two months ago and then downloaded several days ago is finally, officially OUT!!!

#Blanc is a beautiful, dialog-less, black and white game about a wolf pup and a deer kid who are lost in a snowy landscape and they have to rely on each other to get to their families

you can play both animals at once, though it's meant to be a 2-player co-op; but I'm alone and impatient!

#AFLife

I finally washed my sheets/quilt last night, and I FINALLY put flannel sheets on my bed so that my bed was very cozy (even if my quilt was still in the dryer)

I've also run the dryer a second time (I think it's done, and I think it'll need a third run, so I should do that in a sec), and moved living room stuff around for when our maintenance person shows up to figure out why my vents blow cold air instead of heating my apartment (I finally contacted the office yesterday)

#AFLife

good morning, friends and Mastodonians! it's actually 1:30pm, but I woke up before 10am for a change!

so far today, I've eaten breakfast, washed the cats' dishes* and fed them, and run my dishwasher (I mostly filled it last night, but it was late)

#AFLife

*I wash the actual bowls that hold the food every time I feed them, but they have fancy machines with lids that only open for the correct cat bc Link is on prescription food, and I don't clean the machines as often

good morning, friends, it's been a minute since I did either a mundane life post or a fiber post

mundane stuff first: I woke up with my work alarm today, so I haven't eaten anything yet ... I'm working on food in between calls. other plans/goals for today include:
- wash my bedding (cat pee)
- try to pick up my living room some (yarn all over; I've been trying to organize my stash)
- maybe play little more #Splatoon3 before Splatfest is over #TeamDarkChocolate

#AFLife

good morning, friends and Mastodonians!

I did finally wash a couple dishes last night and make instant mashed potatoes. I think I'm having the second half for breakfast, bc idk what else to have ...

goals & stuff:
- grocery order
- wash dishes
- shower
- #psychiatrist (virtual) appt in 3 hours
- eat something
✅ clear off my desk before my video visit

idk, y'all, I'm tired. I have roughly zero motivation. I could really use like an aide or something, but 🤷🏻🙃

#AFLife

just started work; trying to decide if I should work on a #textile project for #fiberuary or continue writing up my #indiePerfume Solstice Scents reviews ...

also I went to the dentist for my final filling!!! I have one more visit to get my temporary crown replaced with the real crown, but then it's just like yearly cleanings and nothing else!

anyway, that's my day. currently sitting at my work desk with one cat on my desk and another under it 🤣

#AFLife

took my migraine med, took a nap (not a great one, but I did get a little sleep), and woke up to ... still a #migraine 😭😭😭

also my medication instructions tell me I'm only allowed to take a second dose if "some response to the first dose was observed"

so basically today sucks

#AFLife

I was supposed to start work an hour ago, but I overslept and I also have a #migraine. I called in late and I'm about to lay down again, but yeah, I hate migraines. and #insomnia.

#AFLife

Link is sleeping on my torso like a folded up weighted blanket. this boy is 18 pounds of fur, purrs and warmth, all on my one hip 🤣😭

I've got plans to hang out with my friend Jessica and their dog Harper today, but only if Link ever lets me get up and put on clothing 😅 I'm mostly awake, but I've got this very warm creature on me now and he's making me feel sleepy ... fortunately (?) I'm in a pretty uncomfortable position, so I'm unlikely to actually fall asleep ...

#CatsOfMastodon #AFLife

hi friends. it's been a rough few days, just in terms of, like, self-care. my sleep has been shit, my #ChronicPain has been acting up and I just realized that my cannabis card renewal process has been in limbo for a month. I called the doctor's office about that one, and I'll get a call back soon hopefully

my brain is also in a bad place right now. partially depression, partially overwhelm, partially #AutisticBurnout. also pain. I don't know what to do ...

#AFLife

in 2 hours, I'm going to find out if I can get a ride from a friend to the pharmacies, so I am going to run the dishwasher now

then I will probably play #Splatoon3 or #Portal2

oops, there's a cat on my lap now ... pretty sure it's illegal for me to get up until he leaves ... guess I'll continue with my word games for a bit?

#AFLife

okay, so far I have:
✅ stop playing wordle/etc long enough to make breakfast
✅ make breakfast
✅ do some research on cat insurance for prescriptions

I haven't done a ton of research, but enough to know that I can't sign up for an insurance plan today and get Link's meds covered today. so I'm still planning on getting insurance for him (and Midna), bc he's an expensive boy, but I'm not going to just pick something quick

#AFLife​ #CatsOfMastodon

goals for today:
-stop playing wordle/etc long enough to make breakfast
-make breakfast
-do some research on cat insurance for prescriptions
-run dishwasher
-go to two different pharmacies to pick up two different cat medications
-cry about $40 kitty Prozac
-collapse on the couch until it's time for work

#AFLife

okay, I'm going to toot this, and then stand up and make breakfast. I got this. I can do it. and ... GO!

hey friends! it's been an eventful morning! Midna always always hisses and growls and sometimes swipes at Link after he goes to the vet, for at least 3 days

it's been 4 full days since I took him and she's still at it. Link is mostly doing fine except yesterday and today he hasn't been keen on his breakfast, and Midna isn't helping

so I put her in the bathroom for 20 minutes so he could eat in peace, and he was so confused about why she was there 🤣 but he ate. some.

#AFLife #catsOfMastodon

morning friends! I have but one goal for today, and that is:

-finally fill out this recertification form so that I can continue to live in my low income apartment

I should definitely make breakfast, though, so I have the spoons for this 27-page* packet

... okay, getting up to make breakfast any minute now ... any minute ... in five, four, three, two, one

*I'm exaggerating, it's actually like 10 pages

#AFLife

good morning, friends, and shabbat shalom! today's going to be a good day bc I finally get to see my #queerplatonic partner for the first time in I don't know how long!

my friend group were supposed to have our annual winter gift giving get together sometime in December, but stuff kept getting in the way, but today!!! I get to see her!!!

so! today, I gotta:
-breakfast
-wrap her and her sister's presents
-decide on an outfit
-wash some dishes?
-change my bedding?
-#Splatoon3?

#AFLife

GOOD NEWS!!! no stones!!!

he did have some kind of bacterial infection in the skin near his privates, so they gave him an antibiotic and gave me a painkiller/anti-inflammatory to give him for a few days to help with any pain

they also prescribed him an anti-anxiety, something I've been wanting to pursue for a WHILE. we're currently in the vet's lobby waiting for our ride, and he's being very calm

#AFLife #catParent #CatsOfMastodon

I did shower and wash the silicone tape and all that, but I did not leave the house. instead I played video games to distract me from my anxiety

but I have a ride to the vet set up, and I'm going to try to get him into his carrier in a minute, and I'm writing notes for the vet so I don't forget anything ...

I'll update after the vet

#AFLife

breakfast accomplished. Link has found a different hiding place under a bedside table I turned into a foot rest with loose fabric sides, for the cats

I'd like to:
-shower, scrub the silicon tape & let it air dry, etc
-take a walk to the nearby coffee shop (& hopefully see the queer, Jewish barista who works there)
-I don't know what else
-do something to turn my brain off
-motivate myself to get off the couch so I can do any of that
-I'm just worried about my cat 😭

#AFLife

I put his dish in front of him and he ate a little, so that's a relief. he's now moving around the living room very cautiously, looking for like a nest to hide in (while still being able to watch me)

I need to make breakfast; I'm starving. my brain is squishy, so I'm going to work on breakfast, and then come back with goals for today and other, hopefully mundane, life stuff

#AFLife

plus, he always knows when he's got a vet appointment. I don't know how, but he does, and he HATES the vet with a passion and is a pain about getting into his carrier, normally, but I'm still not supposed to lift 18 pounds

my girlfriend is coming over and will do the actual carrying, but he's also very scared of people who aren't me, so I'm going to have to get him in his carrier myself, which is just going to be an ordeal 😫

4/4

#AFLife #catParent

he did eat some treats that I pulled out bc he just wasn't responding normally to anything, and I'm going to try putting the bowl right in front of him in his little hidey spot, but 🤷🏻

he once had a urinary tract stone that was 1cm across, and was an unusual type that couldn't be dissolved with food and he had to have surgery, and he's showing some of the signs he had before (no blood in his urine, though), so I'm just super worried about him

3/4

#AFLife #catParent

I could tell by the way he was walking though that something was wrong. he just wasn't being himself. he peed like a couple drops. he followed me into the kitchen, but did not immediately start gobbling down his food. and he was still walking slowly/cautiously/low to the ground ...

anyway, I called the vet & they had a cancellation for later today, and he's currently hiding in the corner of the living room, silently. I think he's had like a couple nibbles of his food?

2/x

#AFLife #catParent

welp, I woke up and started feeding the cats and Link was nowhere to be found. I spent the whole prep time calling for him and Midna was meowing around my feet, but not in the normal "I'm hungry" way

after I set the food out, I found him under my bed out of my reach, hiding behind a box. I saw him move when I moved the box a little. I went to the bathroom and tried to not freak out, and then he came into the bathroom to use the litter box
