May. 27th, 2022 08:41 amMY DUDES!!!! LOOK! (I cannot TELL you how many times 15-17 year old me watched Willow (the movie) over and over and over again and now my 15 year-old self is dancing like crazy!!!)
Spent the first night in the new house and we LOVE it. I swear, the moment my head hit the pillow, I was out!
First time in months (even before I got Bitty) that I've done that, tbh. It is so QUIET and peaceful out here. Not having a ton of traffic driving by and, more importantly, 5-10 police and/or fire trucks with horns blaring go by in a day really makes a difference.
Trying not to think of how fucked up some things are in American society. I will say that I don't think, whether they are Dems or Republicans, that politicians give a fuck about Americans at all. /end rant
Any who, the dogs and cats were a bit freaked out when we moved in yesterday but they seem to be settling in well. Things are slowly getting sorted but the place is still a mess. (Where the heck all this stuff mom and I have came from we'll never know.)
Um, and I think that's it. oh! I do have pictures I want to post but I'm currently playing a new game, My Time at Sandrock(sort of like Stardew Valley but not) and having a ball, so I'll get them posted eventually.
Peace and love to y'all!

Last night in the old house
May. 24th, 2022 05:31 pmso tonight's our last night in this old house and I can't wait to get moved tomorrow.
My heart is breaking for the family and loved ones of those killed today in Uvalde. :*( After Sandy Hook and the Lancaster County murders, I wish I could say I hope those who govern us would do something but, well, they've already shown they don't give a damned about children dying, so I know it's a fruitless hope. :*(
Stay safe my friends.

up and running
May. 22nd, 2022 10:01 amThe power was back on at about 15 till 10 pm last night but then the internet was down. I ended up going to sleep early but, with Bitty, was up around 3am to take him for his early morning walk. The internet was back around that time. yeah!
I went back to bed around 4 and then got up again around 9:30. So over all, we were without power for about 7 hours. During that time, we drove around town to see the down trees (what? the car has ac. :P), went out for supper at Wendy's, and mom watched stuff on her phone while I read Evil Under the Sun on mine. Not a bad way to spend time without electricity.
Today, we're gonna get some more stuff over at the new house. There's not really much left here now. Mainly, just a few things to keep us going until we finally get moved in and the pets and their supplies.
Mom's currently having breakfast, the dogs are being the dogs, and the cats are laying on what surfaces they can find that keep the out of Bitty's reach. >:D
Here's another picture of Bitty (with Momo). Enjoy!

Still here
May. 20th, 2022 08:58 pmI promise I haven't dropped off the face of the earth! Just been busy moving and trying to get Bitty to learn not to pee in the house. It's still a work in progress.
Our first night in the new place should be next week and I'm very excited! It's a completely different environment then here and I look forward not to hearing sirens 5 plus times a day.
I've also been working on my hobbit brawler in LOTRO. Lots of fun to be a punchy hobbit. :D
Hope y'all have a great weekend!

May. 18th, 2022 09:44 amBeen busy with the house so I've not had a chance to post here lately.
However, before my day begins, I'd like to share this cool tumblr post about queerness and Victorians in response to Dracula Daily May 16th e-mail - https://violinsolos.tumblr.com/post/684426935798038528/dracula-daily-prof-thoughts-may-16

too damned hot
May. 15th, 2022 12:17 pmIt's nearly 80 degrees F today, which officially makes it, too damned hot. :P
Kaykay (my 5 year-old great-niece) is visiting for a bit and she and Bitty are having a ball. Currently, she's sitting in front of the big floor fan (most everything else has been moved to the new house) drinking milk, playing with Bit, and singing to herself. :D She is the light of my life and I love her to bits!
I really, really love the Brawler class in LOTRO! I am literally taking on mobs and stomping them to the ground. What makes it funnier is that my hobbit lass that is my brawler currently looks like this:
ETA actual picture of hobbit
If y'all want to give an mmo a try, I HIGHLY recommend LOTRO. It's an older game, yes, but that means it's easier to learn, imo. Also, it's the only game I know that allows players to accumulate in-game currency, while playing, to buy things from their cash shop. Yes, it's a bit of a grind but still! Also, the community is very helpful and I hardly ever run in to asses in the game world. PLUS, it makes it so that I have the option to do the main storyline stuff solo, including 'dungeon' type stuff. As I am the type of mmo-er that likes to play alongside fellow players, this suites me to a T.
Anywho, hope y'all are staying cool (or warm if you're in a cold location)!

So we went out to the house today. Bitty whined for about 10 min on the way there and then went to sleep for the rest the ride. We're making progress!
We got some ac units put in and the couch in the living room. Sister 2 and BIL are working on the kitchen and my library. After we took down the old school drop ceilings they had, we saw there was water damage to the ceiling and walls (which we were expecting as the prior owner told us about it before we bought it) and now we're working on getting new dry wall up and the cabinets and sink back in the kitchen.
Once we get moved in, we'll be able to start sorting all the stuff in the boxes we have piled up. WHERE this stuff came from Mom and I still can't figure out. :P
Oh! While getting one of the ac units put in, I banged my ankle up pretty good. THEN when I got home I tripped, fell, and banged up my knee and legs. Go me! :P
Bitty is doing his post-car ride "OMG I'm SO tired" bit and I'm waiting for the tylenol to kick in.
Hope y'all are having a less bruising day!

Spending the day leveling my hobbit brawler in LOTRO. It's a new class they introduced not too long ago but I'm just now able to try it. It's fun! I get to throw mugs at my enemies and then beat them down bare handed like the scrappy little thug my hobbit is...lol!
Also started a new alt on warcraft, but are we surprised? I was able to unlock the Vulpera and now I have a shaman vulpera named Tea. :D
Here's a digitally (would it be manipulated or enhanced?not sure) fixed photo I took of Bitty this morning, I'm calling it Puppy at Rest.
Enjoy your day!

lil'bit and the harness
May. 12th, 2022 02:49 pmGot Bitty a new harness today! See!!
We also went to the house and got some more work done. On the way there, and back, Bitty and I worked on the very important skill of Not-Whining-in-the-Car. It's still a work in progress. ;)
Now he's zonked out in his cage like the most tiredest puppy that ever tired. :P
Hope y'all are having a great day!

It was WAT too hot today (still is tbh) but, other than that, it's been a good day!
Got 2 belated mom's day gifts from some of the nephews! Decided to use my paintshop pro program to make them gift appropriate. :P
Lil'bit is currently asleep under my chair and i'm about to play some warcraft while I read fanfic.
Over all, it's been a good day.

May. 10th, 2022 05:04 pmHow come no one told me the new Hardy Boys series is SO good! 2 eps in and I'm already invested!
It's interesting seeing actors who are teenagers playing teenagers, tbh. Also, in less than 2 eps, I have found myself thinking, man these people never say I love you, repress their tears, and so on and so forth. Men. It's definitely a show with a male heavy theme going. ;)
This also made me remember, when I was a pre-teen/teenager, the mystery series I loved weren't things like, Nancy Drew, but like Encyclopedia Brown or the Three Investigators. I can only think of a handful of female teenage/child detectives I liked to read about when I was a teenager. Weird.

Started my period today and the older I get the more tired and miserable I feel when it happens. I honestly have only felt this exhausted that time I had covid. *yawns* Took a late afternoon nap and I, while I still feel tired, I don't feel as miserable as I did.
Um, other than that, really there's not much for me to talk about today.
Here, have a picture of my elemental shaman goblin, Ezdi.

So, the following picture belies the 30 minute car ride where Bitty whined and whined and wiggled as we went out to the house today. The trick to getting him like this? We picked up one of the other dogs to bring him back to the old house and they both rode in the back! Puppies!
Got a bit more work done on the new place today. Hopefully, *fingers crossed*, we'll be moved in within a week. I keep trying to tell everyone it doesn't have to be 100% for us to live there. We've got working bathrooms and running faucets, electricity, internet, and cable. We'll be fine. Maybe they'll listen soon.:D
Hope everyone's had a great day!

it IS saturday
May. 7th, 2022 12:20 pmSo today is truly Saturday, not just me getting my days mixed up.
I read this really cool New Yorker article about camping and politics. I didn't know people went camping for leisure as far back as the late 1870s! The parts about the elite saying camping is ok for them but not for anyone else really doesn't surprise me, tbh. Some things never change and elitism is one of them.
Fanfic rec: Here's my fave fem!Bilbo/Thorin (Hobbit) fic, An Eye for Quality by Linelen
Lil'bit is still a puppy and acts it. ;)
And, um, I'm still playing my games as we work on the new house so we can get moved in. Hope y'all have a great weekend!

Why does it feel like Saturday?
May. 6th, 2022 09:43 amSLEEP! Wonderful SLEEP was had by all! Spent the rest the time, yesterday, trying (and failing) to get Lil'bit to use the puppy pads we had. But we all have off days and, fortunately, he still let's us know that he wants to go out 75% of the time.
Look at this face! <3! <3! <3! <3!
It's probably due to my lack of sleep that I woke up thinking today was Saturday and being surprised to find out it's Friday. Mom and I are gonna do something we don't normally do today, go shopping! Of course, it's for the new house but still! Shopping! and on a friday even!
And, I did start a new warcraft alt the other day, I forgot about her but she's my Demon Hunter Night Elf (DK Nelf), Tesyana! Here she is!
Have a great day y'all!

Sleep, I hardly know ya
May. 5th, 2022 10:04 amPuppy decided he didn't want to sleep last night and, therefore, so did I. blah
Started playing a new Stardew Valley session because it's fun and I love it.
um, I think that's about all my brain can come up with right now.
Have a good day.
