discolé monade Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 jo~jo the escape artist keeps getting out, no matter how many times you mend the fence. you find out the 2 cyber schools have reached the 45k cap for enrollment (that's 100k students that don't want to do ga. public schools) the building you were looking at to lease, has no one to represent it. like..no one knows who owns it. gawd damned trip to the tax office. this old man that refuses to take a bath/shower, and the living room smells like piss. even worse than most days because of that stinking brown blanket. it's hot af outside, and you don't want to be inside. no herbage, because who knows why. my eye won't stop twitching. being poor. can't even take a decent vacation away from all the above. fml today. this day is more bothersome than a tick on a dog's nuts. how's your day going? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Codename: Jackass Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I do understand, though, my grandfather had a massive stroke and, though he was still mentally there, he had serious physical impairment that lasted the rest of his life. He was fiercely independent but there were just too many things he couldn't do for himself. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mthor Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Put a stool in the shower and have him take a seat under the water. At least he'll get rinsed, and if he uses soap, it'll be a bonus.

1pooh4u Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Hectic but not as bad as your day. I'm sorry disco. I hope your day gets better.

Yes, bunnies can be harness trained. Not collar because it pulls them wrong. I had a secret dorm bunny the second half of freshman year that also lived with me at the frat for a bit before going to the bunny hatch for the rest of his fat happy life. He wore a harness while living with me, was free-range while indoors and used a litter box. On the rest of topic, hot humid yucky day. Bike tire blew up so I have to walk everywhere now until I can get it to the good bike shop on Saturday - about an hour+ walking and pushing a flatty bike in what is supposed to be 90+ heat. Humidity is slowing down the latex work so I'm really behind at this point and will have to look at potentially working late at night to actually get things to set properly and quickly. And I was messing around with the luggage which makes the kitten feel nervous [which is why I have to start messing with the luggage a month in advance of doing anything...autistic little fuzzbag] so she decided to poop on the carpet this morning in protest. -.-; On the plus side, I'm going to the dang used bookstore on Saturday since I'm going to be in the area getting my bike repaired anyway. ALL UR BOOKS R BELONGING TO ME! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discolé monade Posted August 17, 2018 Author Share Posted August 17, 2018 well, i found a pretty good home~school. 30$/month for the 4 core classes. and the reviews are positive. additional classes are more. she wants art. we're going to sit down this weekend and get the ball rolling. so...yay 1 thing out of the way. the bun bun got out again! ryuk chased him around, and he ran right to me. ryuk gets in the pen with them, so i don't think he'd hurt him.
