No I do little kitcheny things like make zucchini bread and pickled vegetables. But the garden has basically stopped producing, so I just sit in bed with my cat and listen to podcasts. Today I listened to one a out car washes.

I'm still alive, I just don't have a personality anymore.

[biped, wretched @wretchedbiped]

I suppose doing nothing but lying in bed means I'm... depressed?

[biped, wretched @wretchedbiped]

Also the first one I saw literally flew into me while I was on the phone talking about how I could hear but not see them.

[biped, wretched @wretchedbiped]

For days I've been able to HEAR the cicadas but not SEE the cicadas. But at my neighbors' house, CICADAS.

[biped, wretched @wretchedbiped]

Admittedly I looked better because I'm over here dogsitting and got bored/the internet was out. But Mom and I even went around the woods yesterday and found ZERO evidence of cicadas. Except, ya know, the background whine.

I am debating ordering some peperomia leaf cuttings now because I have a discount, ahhhhh

[biped, wretched @wretchedbiped]

I finally bought myself a zigzag cactus.

(and a begonia and a plectranthus and two African violets and a variegated string of pearls and)

[biped, wretched @wretchedbiped]

Also RIP my favorite African violet, which died for no reason I was ever able to identify. I keep hoping to get another dark purple one, but every time I order a random (read: cheaper) one I just get more pink.

Breaking the silence to say: I got stung by a wasp, and: ouch

[biped, wretched @wretchedbiped]

Same as ever, just older and with back pain.

[biped, wretched @wretchedbiped]

Ugh, I'm still alive.

My milkweed I started from seed last year is blooming.

Nobody praised Oliver for being beautiful and perfectly behaved where I could hear it, but I'm gonna assume it happened when they took him back to draw his blood bc my BOY IS SO GOOD.

[biped, wretched @wretchedbiped]

I took Oliver to the vet and saw one spaniel, one chocolate lab, two Australian shepherds, a litter of 6 American bulldogs, a yorkie, one fluffy white some-kinda-dog, and a tuxedo cat.

[biped, wretched @wretchedbiped]

Took Oliver back to the vet for follow-up test after adjusting his meds, and his thyroid levels are... NORMAL. "Well within normal range," even. I'M SO HAPPY. Oliver does not care and mostly just wants treats.

I'm babysitting the world's sweetest golden retriever and a cat who just wants to sit in my lap, however will I manage

Umbrella Academy, but more feral

[biped, wretched @wretchedbiped]

I'm reading The Library at Mount Char after seeing it mentioned various places for years, and it is... weirder than I expected.

[biped, wretched @wretchedbiped]

This is my first professional haircut in I don't even know how many years, and I got like eight inches cut off. I'm afraid I might hate it tomorrow, but right now I feel GREAT.

[biped, wretched @wretchedbiped]

I got my hair chopped off to my chin and feel so much better. Like, surprisingly so.
