The entire shelter closed today because a local veterinary practice volunteered to come in and do physical exams on our cats. (About half the adults we have are either semi or full feral cats, so it isn’t easy!)
The note on our social media, website, and doorway didn’t stop people from just showing up at the doorway. Most were sweet and went “Oh, okay.” and left.
This one family though, they were SO MAD. “But we came all the way from <city about 45 minutes away>! You can’t just let us in?”
Uh…no. Closed means closed. We’re catching cats that would rather rip our faces off (I wanted to hold up my bloody hands to give them a good visual) and we don’t need random strangers stressing them out even more.
I was gobsmacked at the entitlement.

@junipersky Should submit that one to r/storiesaboutkaren

I want to sleep on my back but wtf do people do with their feet? Point them straight up? Can’t you feel the weight of the blanket then? And it hurts to twist them to the side.
I feel like back sleeping is a joke people play. (I’m typically a stomach sleeper)

@junipersky Side/stomach sleeper gang for life.
-
@junipersky as a back sleeper, I have never thought about what I do with my feet but now it’s all I can think about. I guess they just stick straight up? I usually throw one leg out of the blankets and then the other foot scratches my husband all night apparently

This is also what stops me from sleeping on my back. My feet stick straight up, and I can feel the blanket sort of pulling on my tallest toe, and I do not like it.
Occasionally I’ll end up with my back on the mattress but my knees tilted so my feet can lean to one side, but it never sticks. Side sleeping is king.
-
The reason I sleep on my side or stomach is because I know I’m a terrible snorer. And I feel super guilty about waking anyone up.
I’ve heard my dad snore. I don’t want to be that.

@junipersky
My knees are bent so that my outer thighs and calves are resting on the bed, feet resting on their outer sides. -
Mushrooms that look like d*icks.

@junipersky look up the penis pitcher plants.
You’re welcome.

I WORK WITH MIDDLE SCHOOL KIDS. THEY DRAW SO MANY THINGS AND THEY ARE CLOSE ENOUGH TO SOMETHING REAL I CAN’T BUST THEM BUT THEY ARE ALSO DICKS.
Pluss cute sticker packs. I always have to remove a few that will be turned into dicks.

I was supposed to spend most of today working on schoolwork, like getting caught up on my reading. Instead, I spent most of the day in bed and a little bit playing games.
I’m so tired of feeling tired.

Have a head cold. Until I got covid I almost NEVER got sick. Since COVID I’ve been hit every other month with something that has impacted my ability to function.
I’m so tired of being sick.

hooray for getting to spend (hopefully not a lot but some) of my free time/day off getting a stupid ass tire patch. I suspect I know where it came from (the office park where my school is at just removed their speedbumps in anticipating installing new ones but did a shitty job of cleanup, leaving exposed nails in the divots as well as all over the parking lot. They did sort of come by and clean it but we’ve had a lot of people end up getting nails in their tires at work.

It’s etc, not ect.
That’s it, that’s the peeve.

Also!
It’s “rein in” not “reign in”. It’s also “free rein” not “free reign”. It’s “takes the reins” not “takes the reigns”.
They are two different words! They mean different things! I know that none of us ride horses anymore, but still.

@Pyrephox I prefer rain. Rain in, free rain, takes the rain!
