Big "what's the point" hours lately

[Fetian]

-The pipes are backed up again, property managers have scheduled an appointment tomorrow afternoon for a plumber to come snake the cleanout
-They've also scheduled an inspection for a couple weeks from now, though Lee is trying to get it rescheduled for a week further out
-Speaking of Lee, he and Erik are travelling across the country for a few days, so I will have the house to myself and also need to take care of every animal
-Speaking of animals, Dr. Les called and wants to tweak Oz's methimazole again, but the dose he wants to tweak it to is a dose she was already on so I'm waiting to hear back about that
-Finances have gotten to the point where it's stressful to look at them, which makes me not want to look at them, which is bad. But it's on my list to take care of bills today
-I also want to take a shower, clean the litterboxes, do homework, and work on SnowRPG, we'll see how much of that I get done

Okay I love you bye bye

Vet called back and has confirmed he wants her back on the dose she was on when we first brought her in to see him (though reversed)

I did get bills paid, but I didn't do anything else on my list because what I actually had to do was wrap Lee's birthday present. I got him a jewellery box I found at the flea market on Sunday -- on the way home with it I talked briefly with a homeless man who told me "Your wife is going to love that". And at home I dug around in my spare change box until I found a penny minted in his birth year, and then looked up information on turning pennies to brass because I thought that would be a nice touch to include inside the jewellery box. It is bad luck to give someone an empty wallet, and a jewellery box is not quite the same thing but it still felt right to put something in it. Anyway, during that research I learned that 1982 was the year the mint transitioned pennies from pure copper to copper and zinc, which is way sooner than I'd thought it happened, and so some pennies minted during that year are copper and some are zinc, which does not actually have any impact on the process for brass-ifying them but when I tested the penny I wanted to use I discovered it was copper and that seemed cooler than turning it to brass. So I just cleaned it and put that in the box

 
I'm very tired! But I've written myself up a schedule for taking care of all the animals over this coming weekend. Hopefully they do not pee on too many things. I'm also a little worried about Ivy pooping inside if she isn't let out in the morning, you know, when I'm asleep, but my plan is to put her outside for a period right before I go to bed, and hopefully that helps.

 
Tonight I will go to bed at a reasonable time, and tomorrow I will get the homework that's due tomorrow done. And hopefully the plumbers come and clear out our pipes

fucking, why though

The jewelry box feels extremely sweet. I hadn't heard that about empty wallets, but I like the concept.

It’s really really pretty too. Look!

Cael had his first hairball this morning. When Oz had her first hairball, she went to the litterbox to do it and Cael seemed to have the same instinct, which is interesting to me.

I had two or three fingers of bourbon last night and today I have a very small hangover which is ridiculous. But Jake and I played Monster Prom 3: Monster Roadtrip, I think is the full title, and it was very fun! Absolutely not the sort of game we could play in the middle of the night when there's people in the house but it was great fun doing it while Lee and Erik are gone

Since the dishwasher wasn't usable the day before yesterday, there were dishes left to be done, so I spent yesterday doing those. Also got homework done, and I looked around for the power cable to the playstation because I wanted to play Bloodborne but I couldn't find it. Didn't get up to much else, I don't think. Today I should work on the homework due Monday, but beyond that I don't really have any plans

A new Diminish came out yesterday after like two years (not counting an in-character 'Yes I'm still alive' last year) so I'm rewatching all the previous videos first, and the end of Act I is legit making me cry a little
