i can not fucking wait until i hear the fuck back from my therapist

i know she's swamped rt now, she's the nicest person, was SO PATIENT when one of my appointments took place DURING an Artie rescue, but...

god i need to talk to someone who isn't peg and hasn't heard all my shit a million times before and isn't mired in it with me

Current mental location: somewhere on the road between "scaring myself shitless over the studies that even mild COVID causes brain damage, because I'm not 100% sure I did the home test right and I've ALREADY probably got some dain bramage from a post-viral syndrome I got when I was 19" and "absolutely livid at the Reddit hoi polloi for not reading the goddamned article-- which says it's equivalent to about a year of extra brain aging and mostly affects the goddamn olfactory system-- and screaming OH MY GOD IT'S GONNA BE IDIOCRACY NOW"

i hate hate hate hate hate brains

this is why i was a transhumanist -- i was never some dipshit libertarian who thought Moore's Law was gonna make us wise somehow -- i just absolutely fucking want us all off this shitty broken platform, made out of wet fat and engineered for self-delusion-- as soon as possible

@anthracite Have done!

You know, I think my whole Deal with Artie -- other than the fact she's an adorable and mostly-friendly kitty-- is that she reminds me so much of me.

I know she's not really stupid. She's... she's obsessed with chasing something she doesn't quite understand. And man, if that isn't me too, little sister. 🐯​❤️​

I've joked that Artie is Peg and my moms' revenge for having to raise us. We'll never be cursed with the obnoxious "gifted" (read: "just smart enough to be a problem") children we deserve. So the Fates found a way and gave us a very "gifted" cat...

It dawned on me today that if cats have any kind of culturally native magical system, it probably revolves heavily around poo.

@JulieSqveakaroo Yeah, that is also very likely. I just know I brushed the outside of the test strip faintly with my finger because I twitched just as I was finishing up. Still, I am triple-vaxxed, so yeah, it's also very plausible that it's something else AND I fucked the test up. :)

Artie on ground for dinner.

COVID test negative, though there are very high odds I screwed up the test. I always do -- there's a reason I didn't become a scientist.

Fun day! Caught COVID, developed a massive (related?) lip sore out of nowhere, went frantic over a missing Artie, and ended up mapping out the whole of our exneighbor's (now completely abandoned) house (while sick!). At least rescuing Doofus Cat gets a lot easier now...

She's currently on the ground with us. Yeah, the board our neighbor kindly put up before he moved out did nothing. But he left enough doors unlocked that we now have full reign of the place, at least until the landlord cares this place exists again.

So we haven't finished the quest, we just got a new quest. It's harder in some ways, but we have more time to do it in -- and rescuing Artie from the attic is just a matter of climbing up some stairs and snatching her up.

@anthracite Weren't you just sayin' something about how you never give me any free art? :D

@JulieSqveakaroo And Peebs has spent the last two hours contentedly napping, so I think it's pretty safe to conclude she didn't get any Hyper Juice at all thankfully!

@chimerror And I'm chuffed because Diego Garcia was a HUGE running joke for me in high school, for the aforementioned reasons. :D

@chimerror Fuckin' RIGHT? I only knew the damn place existed at all because of a strat game I played in 1991... NOT cool, worldle.

Welp.

The Artie Situation might be resolved for good. There is now a large white board blocking access to the broken attic window. There's just enough of a gap at the top to concern me, but it would explain why Artie's been on the GROUND for three days! ^___^

On the other hand... yeah. Got a scratchy throat, severely runny nose, and a weird inflamed feeling all over. Three days after the largest public gathering in NOLA in two years.

Oh, well. I'm triple-boosted. I didn't really have any big plans that required being outdoors for a while. And it could still just be the result of Bong Misadventures. I'll stay at home a couple days just to make sure.

Also, Peebs may have had a sip or two of caffeine from my tea. I THINK I grabbed her in time, though, and it looks like a few sips won't hurt most healthy adult cats, so... *sigh* Whatever. She's inside with us and I'll keep an eye on her.

Congratulations, Peeblet!

@Leucrotta Yeeees...? Sorry I haven't given you more feedback on them!

@eredien @Leucrotta It's Jim Jarmusch's take on a crime drama. Forrest Whitaker is an eccentric hitman who believes himself to be a modern-day samurai. The best parts of the film have NOTHING to do with guns, crime, assassinations, or the Mafia...

i am a godling <3

'Cause you know it, Bast, you sweet cosmic thing. I have gone all-in on Team Cat and Artie was GONNA get rescued one way or the other. Thank you for possibly arranging it so that we might not have do any major demolition or commit any felonies. :>
