      There’s no better way to wake up than to have a cat purring against you. Even if it’s still dark out. And you could sleep for another hour. Or two.

      ETA: this is the natural order of things:

      Kitty is sleeping on my sleeve so I shall cut off my priceless piece of clothing.

            I upvoted, but then remembered that before the last year my husband never allowed our cats to sleep in the room.

            That rule died the second Calypso entered our lives. She came to us alone and we felt terrible making her sleep alone. The other kittens at the time were easily twice her size so we didn’t trust leaving her alone at night with them. Eventually she would cry if we didn’t let her in and that was that.

            Husband regrets this when she uses him as a springboard to the headboard of the bed at 2 am.

              Don’t worry. Neither do they.

                  @shit-piss-love So the real question is, was the PR “reformatted the code base”? That’s… quite a lot of changed files.

                    It turned out to be a summer intern’s research project. I showed them that they didn’t need to check out the entire repository for the image they were trying to build. It is now a 6 file PR.

                      It peeves me to know I forget the main assholery of people I’ve cut off contact with until like five minutes after I un-cutoff contact with them.

                        @eye8urcake It’s sort of one of the good things/bad things about having ADHD for me. My memory is sort of terrible, especially about stuff that I don’t find interesting. So, I often sort of forget or at least don’t focus on the bad shit people have done to me because I don’t find it interesting to dwell on people’s bullshit. I will cut them off and then sort of just… forget WHY I did that, then talk myself into letting them back in, then get swiftly reminded why I did it in the first place. Then, after a few months I have forgotten again and on and on we go. The cycle never fucking ends.

                        lol lmao

                        It's me, hi, I'm the problem it's me

                            I just get @Roz and @sao to remember my grudges for me. I INSTANTLY FORGET. If it pops up again, THEY REMIND ME.

                                @eye8urcake I’ve always found it way easier to remember times someone upset my friend that to remember times something bad happened to me.

                                let it be a challenge to you

                                  @sao There was a time I remembered everything, didn’t even need notes, or logs, I just… remembered.

                                  Now it’s like…

                                    While I don’t love that it happens to other people, to be honest I’m kinda glad that folks as a whole are getting old enough/are distracted enough by family and stuff now that I don’t even think my cognitive issues are super noticeable anymore. 😄 It used to be a real issue as far as posing speed and the like. But I know it’s stressful to have to feel around for words and feel like you have to work extra hard to keep up with stuff or recall that used to be lightning fast and detailed. On the upside, if you want to have alt privacy, chances are even if you tell me once, unless we play regularly and talk oocly about it, I’ll forget who your alts are pretty much immediately. And unless it made a HUGE impression I won’t stay mad at anything you do for long.

                                        So I just discovered that I either need bifocals, or, I need to tilt my glasses down my nose a bit to read stuff in small text or real close to my face…

                                        Now what am I going to do when I have my contacts in?

                                        Ugh.

                                        Old, why you hate me so?

                                          @Mourne i got bifocals last year and oh my dog i wish I had gotten them earlier and not resisted it!!! I love them sooooo much. It only took me 24 hours to adjust.

                                            @mietze I actually don’t mind that I will need bifocals, I just mind that it negates my ability to wear contacts and read stuff close to my face.
