Mouth Powers
it has been a bad brain weasels time of late at chez isabelle, y'all
Mouth Powers
anyway I frequently feel very awkward talking about stuff on plurk, since I know lots of ppl only follow me for mod reasons or just game in general and that's super valid
Mouth Powers
SO I think i'm going to set up a support filter with just folks that opt-in for general future use, comment here if you want to be part of that, 100% fine if anybody is not, even if we are friends, if you're dealing with too much atm or what have you
Mouth Powers
CW for probably some discussion of self-harm urges, as that's a way my stress response goes pretty often
Mouth Powers
(I am not in any danger of acting on it, I have made a very binding promise, but yeah The Thoughts )
❁ 𝕘𝕠𝕕𝕟𝕦𝕘𝕘𝕖𝕥 ❁
I don't think I can opt in at the moment but know that I send many hugs and sympathies

i don't think i know a single person who can say they're doing well rn

^ same
Mouth Powers
I don't believe in astrology even a teeny tiny bit but I looked it up and Venus IS in retrograde
snowbogan
o/ count me in
Mouth Powers
has been since july 22 and that fucking TRACKS, yall
❁ 𝕘𝕠𝕕𝕟𝕦𝕘𝕘𝕖𝕥 ❁
as far as astrology is concerned i'm like... eh on the woo-woo aspect but I cannot for the life of me believe that as we stand on this spinny rock hurtling through space in the middle of a bunch of other spinny rocks, those spinny rocks' position to each other doesn't have some kind of impact on us lmf
Kira🌵
sometimes the vibes sure as hell do line up with the spinny rocks, I have to say. but also ye, opting in
Mouth Powers
also it seems very unfair to me that
Is Mercury in Retrograde?:
is a real website but the the same for venus is not
Ptriciadactyl
I'll opt in. if my own bad brains interact badly on a given day, I can mute as needed.
Mouth Powers
but also giant shout-out to my supervisor, I cried in her office a little and then she took over a couple of my tasks today
Mouth Powers
The Only Authority Figure I Trust strikes again
Mouth Powers
love her so much
Ptriciadactyl
I like to know what's going on in your life, and support you when I can
StupidSexyV⚠der
I'm here for you
Mouth Powers
thanks errybody [hug]
Mouth Powers
ANYWAY I have ding dang theater ticket tonight for an extremely funny play, so nobody be worried when I go quiet
Mouth Powers
I have been looking forward to this for ages and I think laughing my ass off will pry open my brain and blow on it like a glitchy nintendo cartridge
Kira🌵
I hope you enjoy the play very much!!
❁ 𝕘𝕠𝕕𝕟𝕦𝕘𝕘𝕖𝕥 ❁

StupidSexyV⚠der

Mouth Powers

M. Gustave
enjoy the play, I hope it helps
Ptriciadactyl
I hope you have a wonderful time at the play!
Jay
Absolutely count me in hon
Jay
and enjoy the hell out of your plan
Mouth Powers
play was pretty good, although idk it was entirely worth what I paid for it
Mouth Powers
came home and had to try giving otis the New Pill
Mouth Powers
he tried so hard to eat this pill pocket, guys. THE SPIRIT WAS WILLING
Mouth Powers
but they're big pills that are normally for dogs. so he licked it a lot and could not successfully eat it, and I ended up having to pill him the normal way
Mouth Powers
managed to sit with all his legs trapped under my legs so he couldn't scratch me up and got him to swallow it on the second try
Mouth Powers
i swear to god if he gets the diarrhea side effects im gonna have a whole breakdown
Mouth Powers
also he's NOT supposed to have food and of course NOW HE IS EATING
Jay
is it the kind of pill you could cut in half and give to him in 2 pill pockets? (I have to cut Bill's thyroid meds just b/c of dosage)
Mouth Powers
i tried it and no, it is liquid inside the capsule
Jay
uuuugh :-(
Jay
I'm sorry, that's hard
Mouth Powers
since I knew it would take a couple days for these pills to arrive, I argued the vet into giving me a few little painkiller/anti-inflammatories to cover the gap so he wouldn't be sore and refusing EVERYTHING by the time they arrived, and those were small enough to use the pill pockets successfully
Mouth Powers
so if this med doesn't work i'll see if that's something he's safe to use longer term
Mouth Powers
god I hope they work though they were esspensive
Jay
fingers crossed
Kira🌵
fingers crossed!
pharadyne
opting in, if you'd like me there
pharadyne
also, if he can drink, and if the pill coating is just a container and not, like, stomach buffer or something, in the past my fam has pierced a hole in liquid capsules and squeezed out the meds so maybe you could squeeze it out in a tiny bit of broth or something?
Jay
oooh, or even into the center of the pill pocket?
pharadyne
(i've also done it with my own meds when i once had a prescription for half a liquid capsule and my doctor instructed me to measure out a cup of water, pierce the capsule and squeeze the meds into the water, stir well, drink half the cup, save the other half for the next dose)
Mouth Powers
unfortunately I don't think I could get him to reliably drink most of the dose at the right time if it were diluted enough not to taste bitter
Lady Stardust
i would like to opt in please because I love you
Lady Stardust
also here is an entirely unrelated namecheck that I hope can make you smile
Mouth Powers
Lady Stardust i did smile :>
Mouth Powers
also I slept for most of 13 hours
Mouth Powers
put on my pretty galaxy light at 10:30 like "I will just look at the soothing colors. maybe snuggle under my weighted blanket for a few minutes"
Mouth Powers
OUT
Mouth Powers
fully fell asleep with my hair still all clipped and all my clothes on
Mouth Powers
anyway, woof I needed that I guess
ShaynaIsHere
ooof.
Hope the sleep did help, though!
Kira🌵
it sounds like you very much needed it!
Mouth Powers
goddamnit. Otis's gums are so sensitive that trying to fight him into swallowing this pill left him bloody
Mouth Powers
it would have left me bloody if I hadn't wrapped him in a blanket, but that meant I couldn't actually hold him tight enough
Mouth Powers
I tried to get the pill a little wet first so it wouldn't be dry and stick in his throat, but that just made it more sticky and get covered in fur every time he spat it up
Mouth Powers
and I can't mix the liquid into his food because it's supposed to be taken without food
Jay
god, I wish I (or someone) could be there to lend you an extra set of hands
Kira🌵
oh no, that sounds miserable for both of you 8(
