We didn't go yesterday, so today we did a very fast bathroom walk around the block. Again: it's creepy out.

From our back porch. It's a little hard to breathe.

My tummy is bonkers upset so I'm lying down in the middle of the day. Xena is guarding me like the good girl she is.

I normally am too lazy for fashion, but this outfit from Dolce & Gabbana is clearly meant for me. I have two ex husbands - this look is for me to finally look like the scandalous divorcé I am! I would put this on on days the alimony arrives.

The dentist today showed me ai pictures to approximate what I would look like with the (at least) partial dentures i apparently need bc I 🤮 multiple times a day (HCL acid done ate my teeth). Apparently I get new teeth *and* become a demon, had no idea prosthodontists had that kind of power.

New bedding for summer! Probably the last things I'll be able to buy for myself until I'm out of grad school & employed. I love them so much. I heard this term on Grace & Frankie: I am a linens queen.

Mood:

Our butterfly bush is frequently filled with butterflies.

That's funny, petunias & dahlias are two of my favorite summer blooms! I love your red verbena, I need to get some. Happy gardening!

Funny you'd say that, I took the pic bc it's a beautiful house but also bc I know from the other signage in their yard that they're an official (Clare sanctioned) safe house for democrats. I like to know who's safe & who to avoid - old habits etc. Bc I hard agree with the flag thing. Hella sus!

I cannot believe how picture perfect our little town is. PLEASE LET ME GET INTO PITT'S PA SCHOOL, mummy needs her own home!

Quintessential Xena. 🖤

Bff's housecleaners are here, Xena JUST discovered that sometimes strangers know how to give a dog just the right scritchies.

I mentioned once that there was a lingering cat pee smell on the main floor & that it was super gross (she lost most of her sense of smell when her brain exploded). She immediately bought one of those fancy automatic litter boxes (i call it the poop machine) & *any* smell is completely gone.

Doing a difficult puzzle that bff bought me (puzzles calm me down, have my whole life). The theme is toy store, and here is the part of the puzzle that's haunted. 😱

I tried you guys. I tried to learn to use voice to text.

Time to feed the doggies, where the heck is Xena? She must've gone upstairs, I'll call her when the food is ready (I mix 3+ things in her food, takes a minute). But then I walked into the kitchen & found her, waiting patiently for her gd dinner.

I forgot, proof that I'm sometimes less lazy than most times:

Pretty fuchsias!

Idk how she did it, but Xena put my sleeping mask on. It's fully around her neck. She may have secret thumbs.

Xena is having some sort of identity crisis. This dog does ennui better than many people I know.

Ok the one on the left is how it looks now. I couldn't talk bff out of having every color in that rug represented with stuff, so it's just...way too much. Trying to get as close as possible to the 2nd picture. But without candles bc cats.

Xena has started whining at me in the evenings, clearing wanting *something* but I couldn't figure out what. I finally did: she missed the evening pets & praise sessions I used to always do with her (just a lot of scritches & telling her she's the best doggy). Tried it tonight & boom, quiet. 🖤

I did not enjoy the attention of being the the bride but I loved having legitimate reason to wear a faux fur capelet & the gigantic dress. Like 2 lifetimes ago.

So this picture from an area rug on Amazon - it scared the shit out of me for a second. Doesn't it look like a weird chicken foot?

Power has been out for about 5 hours. It's HOT AF. Poor Butters & his short snoot is panting away. The outage map shows an outage that we are at the dead center of. Supposed to come on in the next hour, I have doubts. But hope bc omg steaming.

I also brought the other cabinet in. This room is just...where clutter goes to die, but I'm close to done reorganizing w/the new storage/display items. The painting you can see was done by bff's mum. Both her parents made a lot of art n her home is full of it in the best way.

Bff is at an appointment, her furry son will wait at the back door for her forever if he must. Butters loves his mummy.

Bff took her dog to the vet, I used the time to get one of the cabinets we bought yesterday placed inside. We're still going to paint it (the stain is not to either of our taste). It's bonkers hot, so I'm just doing one today & one tomorrow. Excited to decrease the clutter!

My vitals have been fucky for awhile, mostly an insanely high resting heart rate. Normal is 60-100 bpm, mine is usually around 130-170. Today it was bad enough I took my pressure too: 179/103. And I have a squeezing pain in my chest. Even I can't ignore that. Lame.
