I haven't been feeling very well lately. I have been extremely nauseous and I am not sure what the problem is. I know that people have been getting sick, so maybe I caught a little bit of a bug. At this point though, if I am going to get sick, I wish it would just happen. Then I can get the not feeling well part over with! haha!
I don't remember what I've updated with in the last few entries, and of course, I can't be bothered to go back and read through them (=P), but we are getting a dog! She is so cute and so sweet and I am really excited. She is still a puppy and needs to have shots and get spayed before she can come home. I believe she comes home to us either the first or second week of October. We've decided to name her Vivi.
She is at least half husky, but we're not 100% sure if she isn't a mix. The mama dog came to the rescue pregnant, so they are not certain who the dad is. I hope the cats love her. I know they will be a bit unhappy for a little bit, but I am hopeful that Kupo will have someone to play with and that they will be an annoying duo of love. I am also hopeful that having her as a playmate will give Bandar a much needed break from Kupo's insanity. Also, I don't want to do this because she will only need it for a little while, but I am thinking I might need to get her a ramp/stairs to get up on to the bed. I want her to be a cuddle mutt and I don't want her to struggle with getting on and off the bed.
I am finally starting to make progress on a thing I have been working on at work. Which is exciting, but it is also taking me longer than I would like it to. Jordan has a gig this weekend, so I am excited to have some quiet time to myself, but I also stress out and worry about him when he is at gigs. I worry about him driving home late at night, I worry about him getting everything packed and unpacked. I just worry about his safety in general. I can't help it.
Unrelated, purely stream of consciousness thought, but I wish Facebook would get rid of the reaction buttons. I think it is adding to hostility and bullshit. Also, it makes me sick to see people laugh reacting to issues of women being raped or domestic violence survivors losing in some way. While I know this is probably the work of Russian trolls, I think the visceral reaction I experience when seeing that is the point of their trolling. They are hoping we will fight with one another and destroy each other. I really wish we could just take their power away. Besides, it's not like reactions have really added to the whole experience. Or maybe, we can be given the power to disable reactions to posts before we post them? Much like privacy settings? But then of course I would probably still see that shit because who the fuck knows if NPR is getting something out of seeing those types of reactions. Meh. Anyway...
I guess I should probably get to work over here. I wish the nausea would go away.
Happy Wednesday!
