Today I have... Thread.

Saw a dead dog while out on my run. (:_(
I wasn't sure what it was at first until I got closer and investigated because the body was really dried up. I collect animal bones so usually when I find something like that I start to poke around and look if I can get anything neat from it, but I could tell by the skull, teeth, and remaining fur that it was a little terrier. This was in the middle of a walking trail up on a coastal bluff that wouldn't be totally unusual to find random dead stuff on, but it wasn't there the other day and the remains looked old, so it was like it was deliberatly placed there. Weird shit man. It didn't have a collar, which I was relieved by. I didn't want to have to go through the moral dilemma of if I should call someone to tell them I found their dead dog. :( I moved it out of the path so other people didn't have to look at it. RIP Doggo

Since I have no life, I made an appointment with Safelite to get my windshield fixed, and spent the rest of the day editing the Stardew Valley game files, because why not ?

If someone wrote a book about my life, it would be under 10 pages in length.

Dog things with big dog and little dog.

Big dog is getting old and is feeling under the weather, she's got an upset stomach, weak appetite and some butt problems that includes leaking anal glands. When sick she wants to get to the head of the bed and sleep with her head on the pillow next to someone to feel secure, it is understandable, in a dogs mind it probably seems that when hurt/sick it is people that makes it go away even if they don't understand how that works. So the bed is now covered in thick, rough blankets that are a couple of steps up from potato sacks in comfort and itchiness.
Doesn't want to go out, too wobbly to walk down stairs, needs to be carried. Did I tell you about the leakage and the carrying?

Little dog is a puppy, can not walk down stairs but will happily try and then cartwheel down into a wall. Needs to be carried. Pisses itself with excitement when carried.

Big dog is getting fixed by a dinners of baked root vegetables, for fiber and carbohydrates, with thyme, olive oil, swished in meat drippings and some finely cut meat, with that she's got an appetite. It seems to be working, she's getting stronger, the farts aren't as deadly and the poo has gone from "repeatedly trying to force the last of the ketchup out of the squeeze bottle" to soft-serve.

Little dog is fixed by me handing it back to the people I'm dog sitting for and telling them I am getting deported effective immediately.

update: I have inspected poo over the last couple of days, a natural consequence of baby or dog ownership, and all is well with big dog, no need to go to the vet and she's now trotting around like a show-horse and bouncing like a goat in the leafs.
Thankfully I didn't have to put a glove on and use the salve, it always feels like a betrayal because dog looks back with an expression that seems to say "but I thought we were friends!".

Today, I learned my efforts to troubleshoot my mom's computer were futile; the hard drive is failing. On the plus side, she got her money's worth out of it as the PC lasted nine years and was due to be replaced soon anyways. So, I finished setting up her new PC over the past couple of nights.

Put my dog down on monday, intestinal cancer finally got bad enough I thought it was time. My living room in this small apt is a home Gym and not much more, I play 4x games for 4min at a time between sets and every time I get up and walk back into my living room without thinking I still look to the 3 places she would giddily watch me from. Masterson is right, Life is an advent calendar of shit.

Awww that sucks, I'm sorry to hear that! :heart-empty: Try to remember the good times and how happy and fulfilled she must have been during your time together. It's tough to deal with loss, take your time to process it.

Today I had a lovely time with family and started playing some new games.
Good day, 10 out of 10 doots.

I'm sorry to hear that. :( Had to let my oldest fur baby go a year ago because of cancer, so I understand how hard it is. It's ultimately a kind thing to do, letting them go instead of prolonging their suffering.

I cooked curry today only to see a fly in the rice when I was dishing up the meal . . . fml

I keep rice in what are supposedly airtight containers. Whenever I open them after a while, though, there is always a tiny moth larva somewhere on top. How the fuck do these things get in? How do they survive? Apparently, they don't, since they're never larger than tiny, but wtf.

Today I was looking on my old notebook which I used to write some stories in them. I was about 9 when I wrote that, I kinda cringed but it was somehow wholesome. The innocence I used to have reflected on my writings, the drawings I used to make, and I discovered a story that my sister and I wrote down about the birth of Jesus Christ but Mary fucked some roman soldier and somehow Dr. House is in there.
Also, I found a bottle of Finnish vodka, it tastes good and the bottle is pretty, when my family and I finish the bottle we will convert it into a water bottle. Heck, most of our water bottles were from whiskey or vodka.

I played Gears 5 with randoms all day today. Sadly, a lot of people rage quitted when the match was not going their way. I am an average player, and even I know rage quitting is a shitty way to handle things.

Does gears screw up the ranks of rage quitters?

I don't know if it does, but if it does not, it really should start. Nothing is quite as annoying as playing Horde mode and having people rage quit around wave 30 instead of picking themselves up and trying again until they persevere by my side. The AI members suck for the most part.

EDIT (to avoid double posting) - Tonight, I will be seeing a Ghost concert, even if the lead singer is a total cunt to his bandmates.
