The sun is shining, flowers are coming and I've just had a very productive conversation with my folks about the house hunt, their expectations, my expectations and so on.

The hunt is back on. We can coexist. There's some context I didn't have before which I now do, and things make a lot more sense.

    eee

    The beagle 2 doors down has stopped barking at me when I ride past.

    Gave it a pat and now we have an agreement ETCHED IN STONE.

    Problem is the doggo next door to that one still barks but it's a floor mop bichon frise thing not going near that.

    Those floor mop dogs weird me out. Pretty sure they shouldn't even count as dogs.

    When I first moved out flatmate had one. I will never approach the floor mops ever again after that. They're cute when they're not awake or anywhere near you though.

    A lot of the small fluffy breeds were originally bred as personal guard dogs - and they're still pretty good at it. Size notwithstanding. I think the real problem is the owners - people should be shot for purchasing a fluffy dog and not teaching it civilized manners. 'But its cuuuute' they say, not understanding that badly educated dogs are never cute no matter how fluffy they are.

    I have very strong opinions about a colleague's Frenchy. (That I don't out loud in the office) Multiple surgeries super young. Don't buy known problem breeds!

    Yeah, it doesn't get you any brownie points to tell the IT guy that his designer dog is not a pretty little princess but a yappy, whiny beast in desperate need of proper training. Felt good though.

    Eyeliner and nasal to literally breathe isn't cosmetic. Choosing such a dog is.

  • Yeah, it's the element of choice that I object most to. Why saddle yourself with $X thousand vet bills before the mutt even reaches sexual maturity - it won't reach old age unfortunately. And there is NO justification for breeding such mutants. Don't get me started on munchkin cats. And curly coated horses. And mini horses. And halter-bred quarter horses. The list of animals that human vanity has RUINED only grows longer.

    Amazing. My stupid skin condition (psoriasis/seborrheic dermatitis caused by immune system having a conniption over normal fungus on my face) has now got a patch or two under my eye on my cheek.

    I'm using Nizoral to keep it under control, but so annoying. I'm sure in 6 months it will have either migrated elsewhere or it will cover my whole face.

    Least it isn't contagious. Stupid immune system.

    It did lead me down the rabbit hole of people with trauma having it manifest in weird physical ways. People with trauma are apparently 1.5 times more likely to develop physical illnesses as adults, like chronic fatigue or pain, weakened immune system, sensitive GI issues, etc. it's so fascinating to me how it's all interconnected, our brains and GI are so complex, that physical abuse can affect the unconscious systems of the mind and body and then manifest as physical illnesses.

    I need to finish The Body Keeps The Score, it's a hard read but well worth it.

    (I mention GI next to brain, because there's evidence to suggest that there are neurons there as well, and what we eat, and our gut biome, can also affect our mental and physical health. So cool)!!

    Made it to the data centre protest almost 2 and a half hours after it started but we got there. We arrived just as people were getting back. People finally got to meet the kids and see why I can't make it to most things

    hey, I love my vintage 1980s franco cozzo furniture

    it's solid maple , lots of hand carving, no gilding , it's tuscan style I think

    but it's expensive, even second hand it's expensive

    that cream and gilt stuff in the window of the shop is traditional venetian style, which would look lovely in a house in Venice

    apparently they are bringing in modern Milan styles too

    I need you guys to help me name a cocktail I created.

    A Espresso martini has - shot of espresso, vodka and kahlua.

    My version has a shot of Irish creme espresso capsule, Johnny Walker (it was that or Gentleman Jack) and kahlua (I gave away my Bailey's).

    I'm temporally calling it leprechaun unicorn cactus. Maybe Luck? The man is calling it Power. I need a better name.
