I'm probably happier today. Last year my dog started getting sick around this time.

Same question.

Now. I had a really brutal year last year apart from Covid. My house had flooded, my transmission died, and I had no heat or water. I was living from boxes and couldn't get the house restored by insurance until October, because of Covid restrictions. It's also the time when my mother's cancer was diagnosed and MD had to cancel her trip to California. It was a rough time all around.

Do you like rearranging your bedroom / furniture / things?

I really don’t.

Sorry for what you went through.


Do you like doing “projects” like putting together wardrobes or whatever?

I enjoy doing things like that.

Same question.

As a child I loved rearranging my bedroom furniture to make cosy places. The best was when I got a new wall-to-wall carpet and wallpaper and everything was moved around during the renovation. I loved seeing the room from different perspectives. I've done it a few times as an adult but my current bedroom can only be arranged a couple of ways, and I've already picked the best one.

Did you ever get in big trouble from your family, for something you didn't do?

A few times. It's always very frustrating, especially when they find out I didn't do what they thought I did because they don't apologize to me or acknowledge it.

Same question.

I got spanked for ripping my dad's leather captain's chair which I didn't do. I think my brother did it, or maybe my cousin.

I didn't mind the spanking but I felt terribly, because he said he was disappointed in me. I felt really guilty for upsetting him, if that makes sense, even though I didn't do anything wrong.

Did you ever pretend to be sick so you could miss school? (aka Ferris Bueller)?

I pretended to be sick often when I started high school because I couldn't handle going there. I was either actually sick or faking it for those few months. lol

What was your least favourite assignment in school?

I wrote an entire paper in Uni about tariffs, without knowing what a tariff was. It was for a Political Science prerequisite class and this was before the internet. I tried the indices of library books but they only gave theory about tariffs and not an actual definition. I don't understand politics as you likely know, and I hate politics, and this paper was just the worst. I also hated Anthropology in Uni because it was very dry and boring, about methods for carbon dating relics. In Secondary I failed Biology because we were supposed to kill and dissect live bees and earthworms. I refused to do it or to go into the room, so I failed the class.

same question

I hated those timed math worksheets in elementary school, because I usually only got a couple questions done in 5 minutes.

What is your bedtime routine?

Ha! Perfect question for me:

Chill in my pyjamas with coloured lights and music (currently The Cure). Brush my teeth. Get myself a glass of ice water, and refill the pets' water bowls. Make sure all the doors are locked and kitchen is tidy. Go back to bedroom, shut my door, shut curtains and blinds, take Ouiji's collar off, take my sedative, take my nightmare-preventing medicine, chat a bit online and say goodnight to whoever I'm talking to, brush my hair, rub skin lotion on my hands, put some lip balm on, pop in my earplugs and mouthguard, shut off the coloured lights and music, and then put on my blindfolds. I wear multiple. By then I'm facedown and passed out.

same question

I check the pets water and give Malo veggies, and then take some magnesium and let Malo run around for a bit. Once he decides to go back in his enclosure I take a shower, put lotion on all over, brush my teeth, take melatonin, and then make some tea. I chill on my phone until I get really tired and then go to sleep.

What's the first thing you do in the morning?

Reach for my phone with one eye open, so I can check what time it is. I keep my phone face-down beside my bed. Most of the time if I've slept for about 5-6 hours I decide I need to sleep more but then I can't, so I get up and feed the farm.

Feeding the farm means I let my dog outside, feed the two cats in two separate places, wash and refill the dog water bowl with ice water (he's spoiled), and then let my dog in to feed him. Then I brush my hair and do yoga for about 40 minutes before starting the day.

same question

I wake up, try to sleep more, decide I can't sleep and chill on my phone for way too long, let Malo out to cuddle and run around, feed and water the pets, eat something and take my medication, then wash my face and brush my teeth. That's it. lol

What is the most affectionate pet that you've had so far?

My current dog. We're smitten with each other. Second place would go to my kitten who is still very sweet. I've had about ... ? ... four other dogs and too many cats to count, as an adult. I have also kept about 30 fish and about four hamsters in the last ten years.

I forgot to say I feed my one remaining beta fish in the mornings when I'm feeding the farm. Most of my medicine is also taken in the mornings (Blood pressure, Blood thinner, Diuretic, ADHD, SSRI, Magnesium, Lutein). I take them with tea after yoga. Normally I'd start reading a book or working on the book I'm writing, but I can't read a book now until I replace my lost glasses. Computer screens can enlarge but books can't.

Do you like the date of your birthday?

The date of my birthday is cool because I was older than a lot of my class for awhile due to it being earlier in the year. lol

We have a betta named Jeffrey (after Jeffrey Dahmer... Don't ask. ), bettas are super cute. I also do take another supplement at night but that's only started recently, so I didn't count it in my night routine.

What was your first pet?
