    Depression

    Have kind of self-destructed over the past couple of weeks. Have already just been feeling down and in a rut and still struggling to find a point to anything. Then losing my cat Sansa just sent things straight to hell. Hadn't showered in a couple of weeks, wasted 6 home delivery meals I'd had...

    The LEGO thread - or how to step on bricks in the dark

    My Minas Tirith has arrived at my mom’s house. Will be a long wait until Christmas. My brother is going to be getting the Sagrada Familia as his Christmas set. Looks awesome. https://www.lego.com/en-us/aboutus/news/2026/june/lego-architecture-sagrada-fam-lia-set-unveiled?locale=en-us

    It's sucked. While I've had pets before over the years, this is the first one that I've actually had to live daily with the loss. Furlough passed at a time when my whole family happened to be back together (I was in college, brother was living in his own place now, parents were both overseas...

    Yeah, but min-maxing doesn't taste as good as a tub of rainbow chip frosting.

    The super soaker arms race got quickly out of control in my family between my brother and I. Upgrading to this was fucking awesome. I could have sworn there was one that came out at some point that was like a sniper super soaker with a little bipod stand or something on it.

    Does it count if my mom bought it for me for Christmas this year? I do technically have to wait for it.

    I didn't even use mine that hard. 1.5-3 hours, 3-4 times a week at like 1.2-1.6 speed. Well below what these things were rated for. 99% just seem to be cheap trash, unfortunately.

    Yeah, I had the standing desk/treadmill combo. Sadly, it seems the market for the under desk treadmills is pure fucking Chinese garbage, so it's hit or miss if you get one that's not going to shit the bed. The first one I bought lasted about 10 months before the motor started dying. The...

    It's going to be really hard coming home and opening the door and not having Sansa be there brushing up against everything. I'd only been at my job for a little bit, but my coworkers already all knew her and loved her when she would show up on camera during the dev weekly on Thursday tapping me...

    The steroids gave her some relief, and at least bought some time. But the last test came in tonight for the toxoplasmosis. It was negative as well, so we still don’t know what’s wrong with her. So it’s time. We’re going to say goodbye to her tomorrow.

    Not going to make a decision today. Vet asked if I just wanted to try a steroid combo. I know this route usually just kind of buys a couple better days before it just goes to shit again. But maybe it can buy enough time for the rest of the blood work to come back. Maybe one of those results...

    Called the vet and explained the situation from this morning. Some of the tests had come back, but nothing showed anything that could give an answer. The options at this point were try to take her over an hour away to a specialist ER and see if they can figure out what's going on or let her...

    She's in so much pain. I don't know what to do. I took her to the vet again yesterday. She can't walk at all. She tries to get up sometimes and immediately collapses. She peed herself on the way to the vet yesterday and hasn't used the bathroom since. I fed her with a syringe this morning...

    This morning has been bad. She can hardly walk at all, anymore. She takes a couple of steps and then just collapses and lays there shaking. I noticed her back right leg is hurting her, too. I tried to see if I could move her appointment today up, but they have no slots. Just trying to keep...

    Well, good news is her X-rays are normal. Bad is that I’d have to find some place to do a CT/MRI to determine if she has soft tissue damage. She also could have arthritis (she just turned 10 this month). At least getting some more pain meds for her tonight. Going to keep the appointment tomorrow...

    Sansa is having a rough couple of months. Had a bad cold that I took her to the vet for in March. In April, she broke a tooth and had to get a dental to get it removed. A couple weeks ago, noticed the pupils in her eyes were completely mismatched and weren’t reacting to light, so took her to the...

    There’s a black foot cushion under my desk. My black cat loves to sleep on this damn thing and blends right into it. The amount of times I accidentally bonk her with my feet makes me sad, but she keeps on coming back.

    So glad you found her. I would have lost my kind. Fingers crossed she’s okay!

    Home Improvement

    House was a new construction, but seeing how they had apparently barely even connected the vent hose to the dryer, who knows what other shortcuts they took. I'll try to gently snake it anyway just to make sure, but also seems like I was just dumb here.

    Ordered the kit, but in the meantime pulled the dryer out, ran it while disconnected from the vent and it's blowing out the back just fine. Vacuumed inside the lint trap as deep as I could and in through the vent in the back as much as possible. Took my leaf blower and very gently pulsed it in...

    The outer vent is in the attic above my basement exit, so I have no way to access it myself (I'd need a big ass ladder and I sure as shit don't want to do that myself). I imagine it's some form of plastic. Would have to go at it from the inside.

    Suddenly got a weird itch to have my dryer vent cleaned out. I always clean the trap after every dryer use, but haven't cleaned it since moving here about 4 years ago. As a retard, is this something I can just do myself or should I just pay to have some company do it? House fires scare the...

    You know you're getting old when.....

    About mid-way through the day, my back just starts tightening up and it's basically just fully seized the fuck up by now. Can't sit still without pain, can't move without pain. I didn't even fucking do anything today. I'm just fucking old.

    This is done pretty often, though usually I think they will flip those outlets upside-down so they're identifiable, but yeah, it's usually the top outlet on it.

    Music got moved inside for the night, and I guess the rest of the crowd followed. Got the whole back patio at the distillery to myself now. Pickle is both tickled and very relaxed.
