Got the news I was expecting, but didn't want to hear. My grandpa's heart function is too low for heart valve replacement and he now has kidney failure as an additional complication. Family is looking to hire 24/7 care. But now it's just make him as comfortable as we can and wait for the end.

Nothing is quite as demoralizing as trying to get a controlled medication prescription filled.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes <3 :3

It's this dog's birthday :3

very specific but if I find out any of you work for PaloAlto developing their linux VPN client I'm going to fight you sincerely, the sys admin trying to support your garbage pile of software

Annual performance reviews and self reflections at work are the bane of my existence. I'm spending hours polishing and typing what I do in a way that HR wants instead of doing actual productive work D:

After 10 years together with @doubledogx2.bsky.social I proposed to him while we were on top of the world together in the Alps. He said yes!

I'm so tired of dealing with bad news Got word today that my grandpa is in the hospital due to heart issues and severe edema around his heart, lungs, and legs Then my aunt now needs to go to the hospital Then like 6 months ago I was basically told to say goodbye to my grandma (she pulled through)

Me wondering why I'm so wired at work right now Me realizing the coffee shop I frequent changed their iced coffees to be triple shots, and I've had two this morning

The owner/CEO of my company is like 85 years old and was calling my sys admin team nearly daily this week because he kept getting confused when trying to connect to the VPN. He's nice and all, but man do I think he needs to retire.

One of those nights where I'm just kinda feeling useless and not good enough I know it's just my brain being dumb

When a user somehow manages to disable their endpoint protection AND THEN ASK WHAT TRAFFIC WE MONITOR ON COMPANY OWNED DEVICES Those are some pretty big red flags

Honestly looked like the top AC hotels were already sold out BEFORE the general opening...

Started my second batch of mead on Sunday and it's already at about 10% ABV and tastes pretty good :D

I wish more people would post their fursuit maker in their bio or in their pics I see so many cute fursuits and can't figure out who the maker is 😭

Man, I hate being alone with my thoughts

Finished playing Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 the other day and I can honestly say it's one of the best games I've played. The writing, voice acting, setting, and performance are all phenomenal Now I just want more of it D:

I <3 farmer's markets I wish I was better at planning out what I'm going to cook so I could buy more of my ingredients from local markets

I'll be honest, I've been trying to ignore some brutal anxiety lately. My family lives in Minnesota, and my mom isn't a US citizen. She's afraid, but being strong about it. It just breaks me knowing that my mom is scared everyday

At what temperature am I allowed to leave work lol Asking for a friend

Paid off the first of my student loans today. It was the smallest one, but it still feels like an accomplishment. Hopefully I can get through the rest of them sooner rather than later

Stremio + RealDebrid + Torrentio combo is so nice for streaming. Genuinely was getting pissed off with the fact that streaming apps I was paying for wouldn't give me HD streams even with gigabit internet

My company's HR can't go a year without fucking up our benefits somehow through lack of communication.

For dinner I made seared Hokkaido sea scallops with garlic wine butter pan sauce, parmesan/pecorino risotto with fried shallots, and prosciutto wrapped asparagus with balsamic glaze @doubledogx2.bsky.social is in a food coma now :3

Helping wrap gifts!

Get back into work after MFF only to find out that my manager didn't do any of the tasks I usually do, while I was gone 🥲

Even my barber today commented on my weight loss 😭 It's nice to know others notice it even if I don't see much of a difference myself

it is absolutely demoralizing that I'm going to miss Thanksgiving because I'm sick and Christmas because my family is visiting my grandparents in Germany for it

Idk if it's the stomach flu or food poisoning but I haven't felt this sick in a long time x.x

Day two of my internal alarm clock waking me up earlier than needed x.x Just like a real dog, it doesn't understand daylight savings
