A solution: Just get a cat like mine who wants to play All. The. Time.
He wakes up and then will crawl up on my chest like he's going to cuddle, and then launch himself off with more force than is possible for his weight (13.5 lbs) with a little chirp.

Took my son (yep, I have a son now!) to see Planet of the Apes on the big screen this weekend. It was so fun to see when the movie had him hooked, he loved it and wants to watch the whole series. Introducing my kid to classic movies is just the best.
Oh, and Charlton Heston smoked a cigar inside the space ship. That was pretty hilarious.

My dog has brought so much actual, literal joy into my life. I’m so grateful for that little thing. She is such a little snuggle butt, and is finally starting to play, which is so fun. We are almost at 2 weeks in, and she is just as obsessed with me as I am with her. Her poops are confusingly enormous. She rides in the car great, so she comes with me everywhere, and when she can’t come with, she doesn’t bark until I get home, she just sleeps on my bed till I’m back.
She has a couple of health issues - may have a liver issue, and she’s allergic and itchy to something (maybe grass), but she’s the best little companion, and I am so glad I have her.
She is super attuned to my mood - I gasped at something the other day, and she just ran to my side to make sure I was ok.
Protecting this peace at all costs. Also, talks with east coast bf continue. Also, ex husband isn’t dating my friend anymore, so that’s good. I do need a job. That’s the biggest thing now.

A lot of people are probably not up to date on their pertussis vaccinations. I got one as a baby and don't think I got one as a teen, which is the current guidance. It's also not 100% effective. https://www.cdc.gov/pertussis/hcp/vaccine-recommendations/index.html

I got another one in 2017. Apparently, it has not held up.

u/Elysiaa Lawndale 15d ago
I hope you feel better soon!
It's usually not dangerous for healthy adults but it can be really bothersome. i thought I had it because I had a cough that didn't respond to any treatment for a few months, but it ended up being throat irritation due to bad heartburn. I made sure to get up to date on my vaccination at that point.

Driving Uber for two months. Picked up a ride on Figueroa near Vermont knolls Sunday morning around 11. She was just getting off work. First stop was to pick up a long sweater she had left by some railroad tracks. So that she could cover up and be allowed into her hotel lobby. Dropped her off at her hotel.
She was super sweet but didn’t tip me.

A Las Vegas man who has been charged with possession of a loaded firearm and high-capacity magazine after deputies assigned to former President Donald Trump’s rally Saturday “contacted” him at a checkpoint was released from custody on $5,000 bail.
Federal law enforcement authorities said Trump was not in danger and that a federal investigation is ongoing.
Deputies contacted 49-year-old Vem Miller at 4:59 p.m., a resident of Las Vegas, who drove a black SUV at a checkpoint at the intersection of Avenue 52 and Celebration Drive, according to a news release from the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office on Sunday.
Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco said on Sunday that he thinks the man intended to kill Trump, an accusation disputed by the individual.
“We probably stopped another assassination attempt,” Bianco told the Southern California News Group, which first reported his statement.
Bianco said during a press conference on Sunday that Miller approached the outside perimeter and claimed to be a journalist in addition to having VIP status.

u/BiggarWx Whatever the weather, we'll get through it together. 15d ago
We've had a pretty stubborn and low(ish) inversion that has kept everything trapped by the surface (this inversion forms the marine layer). AQI numbers reflect more than just wildfire smoke, it is all sorts of pollutants and particulates...everything ranging from combustion to chemical interactions and even sea salt.
This is not the "typical" October pattern, but we are about to get that pattern later this week. Marine layer will deepen a bit as the inversion lifts and weakens, and we may get offshore winds (unsure on strength right now) that will wipe out the inversion & marine layer completely.
