RE: Pets!
I’m fairly sure the rescue I work with is one of the more unhinged ones. I swear they have added several new questions to the app, and every one has a story behind it.
We are considering a new one “Have you ever surrendered a cat due to medical needs?” Because we have a beautiful orange baby who was surrendered with half his face missing. He turned out to be FIV+, was not neutered, and we had to have his eye amputated on top of all the healing for the infection. Several thousand dollars went in and people donated specifically for his care. Now the owners who surrendered him are attempting to get him back.
I don’t think this question will make it, but this isn’t the first time a cat has come to us on death’s door, we’ve saved them, and then they try to get the cat back.

RE: Pets!
Part of my responsibilities at my shelter is to approve or deny adoptions for our cats. This could be after the initial application, or after their Google meets home visit.
I hhattteee having competing apps for cats, but over 50% of interviews fail so it is nice when at least one of them is good so they can still go home promptly. (Over 75% of the initial apps fail, seriously, it is crazy any make it. But with that said, in the 3 years I’ve been there we have only had 10 cats returned with ~100 cats going home each year. )
But the WORST is when they are both amazing and we have to choose. I hate having to tell someone “You are amazing and please come meet more cats and you can take them home that same day! But we have decided to go with another family for these particular cats.”

I miss some of my characters like mad and get hit with random wants to play them.
Today I saw a clip from a show called Banshee that had the PERFECT look for Isi. I wish her story hadn’t been cut short in such a gross way.

I’m afraid I also don’t read descs. I rely on systems that give me an overview, like +finger. I don’t know what “shorter than average” means to you, but I know what 5’3" means!

We don’t do transphobia or other aligned hate talk so… yes.

I gave my child chocolate milk and showed her the joys of blowing bubbles in the milk.
Why did our parents tell us not to blow bubbles? It is awesome!

RE: Real Life Struggles/Support/Vent
Another school year (year 14) has passed. I’m feeling really meh about it. My position this year was half of two different teams, and that made it hard to really integrate anywhere. My relationships with kids were way more shallow then I would like.
Just leaving me flat.

RE: RL Peeves
I just realized that while I would love to participate in the Kellogg boycott - they also produce the foods my disordered eating child will eat when all else fails.
I feel like they bank on that fact. I’m not going to let my kiddo, who at one point in her life didn’t have access to food, not eat because she can’t stomach anything beyond her comfort food.

You don’t have a fever nor are you throwing up.
Sorry sweetheart, OFF TO SCHOOL. -
RE: RL Peeves
Getting yelled at by a 7 year old just minutes after they woke up is apparently a huge trigger for me. Who knew?

Isn’t it funny how our perception of things can be so different from what other people perceive?

Government jobs take FOREVER. It took almost four months for my husband to finally get his tentative job offer with the county sheriff.

RE: MU Peeves Thread
You should ask staff for permission to rp something that works for you better! I feel like banned = NPCing is reasonable.

RE: Real life happy
It has been 3 weeks today!!
She is still in her honeymoon phase, but I’m starting to see the shift happening where she is losing her ‘public’ face and her trauma is raising its head like in past houses. I’m banking every yes I can give her right now, and if I have to leave because she has started to get physical I tell her how long it will be till I come back to check on her again. Even if she isn’t in a rational mind right then, the words will be in the air she isn’t alone.
I got to meet her BFFs mother, and former foster parent, and then she introduced me to another woman currently fostering. We exchanged numbers and went out this morning for Starbucks. They talked a lot and I was able to just blurt out questions generally along the line of “I’ve been doing x,” and generally they affirmed what I was doing, and then also added a handful of ways to tweak said things when they stop working (because they will!). One of them I was like “Well duh!” (Get her help picking out a toothbrush and hairbrush!) and I’m going to do it.
It was such a blessing.

I’m so happy for you!! Losing a job is such a gut punch.

RE: Real Life Struggles/Support/Vent
I feel bad that I’m super grateful little foster child is in school today while I’m home on my spring break. (She is in a different district than I teach in.) But I am grateful. I needed a solid rest from the constant stimulation. I hope it helps me be better for her.

~lice~ and this little girl HATES when any of her knots get tugged on. So once I get permission to treat her she will be one sad little muppet.
