things have obviously popped off this week geopolitically so i’ve been pretty busy trying to bail some people out of very bad decision-making. this has gone mixed to say the least; anyways a lot of people gotta shut the fuck up about geopolitics because there have been 80 unnecessary trillion bad takes this week

    chuck (foster dog) is recovering well from his rear left limb amputation. took him to the vet to get his stitches out, but they’re not quite healed, so we have another appointment next week. he was cleared for a bath, so we’re heading out to do that now!

    i had my teeth cleaned today and remembered to bring my headphones. spent a majority of my appointment listening to an audiobook, which made the appointment both quicker and less stressful. 😀

      My first appointment in years is coming up and I’m dreading it. My habits are so despicable I won’t even describe them anonymously here… 😞

      I’ll be listening to Warrior Cats: What Is That 😻

        i’ve been there! i went at least a decade without brushing my teeth regularly, and definitely without a professional cleaning. once you get things fixed up, stick with it! find a way to brush twice a day and floss at least once a day. it’s worth it!

        disclaimer: i had to have eleven fillings and a root canal the first time i went in. it was as rough as it sounds, but i picked a dentist who would put me under general anesthesia. that was a huge help for me in the beginning. now i can sit through a single cleaning/filling, but not more than that.
