Last digital drawings I was able to do before one of my drawing tablet's cords died (and took one of the tablet's display ports with it). Hopefully I can get the money to buy another cord soon. In the meantime I'll try to get back in the swing of traditional sketches.

Spa day.

You know, the paw cleaning and massage weren't too bad and I really liked the back rubs and snuggles while sitting in little human's lap.  The treats were pretty awesome too!  Overall, I'd rate the experience ★★★☆ (Can't have a 4 star review going to little human's head!)

Thanks for visiting the blog and we hope you all have a great weekend!  Stay safe out there and we'll be back with more bunny cuteness on Monday.

I recently picked up a retail gig. On my feet for long hours, I'm noticing new tone and defintion. My thighs feel Thic. While the new exercise in my life is helping me gain more muscle, it seems to have spiked my appetite as well. I'll buy a stash that I hope will last a week only to polish it off that very same night 🥺 If I have multiple days off in a row, I'll come back with my pants a lil more snug; hugging my soft, tubby underbelly.

So my day has been interesting, to say the least. It started out with this...

Here's the story...

So I went to the ER last night because I was having horrible pain in my jaw. Like 8 out of 10, I'm gonna either puke or pass out pain.

My dentist had been dismissing pain I've had since Feb when I got a deep cleaning. Saying I needed to weary night guard & that it was normal sensitivity. Well, here we are 3 months later & it's so much worse

The ER couldn't do much, but give me a nerve block. I get how worried they are about opioid addiction, but I was ready to saw off an arm in exchange for some relief. Like I was in full-on, tears break down mode. Still nothing...

Then I went home still in pain, down to a 4/5, from an 8, & began looking for emergency dentists. Found one that could get me in immediately. Showed up still in tears, but there was light at the end of the tunnel. He took 1 x-ray & found 2 large absess at the root of one of my teeth. The tooth apparently is pretty much dead now, so he drained the absess & got me started on antibiotics. Still no pain pill beyond regular ibuprofen, so I'm still in some pain but a hell of a lot better. Seriously, please look past the opioid crises & see when patients are truly in pain.

Tomorrow morning, I have an emergency root canal to try & save that tooth. I'll need a crown, obviously, but after the root canal, at least the pain should stop.

Just for fun, below are my x-rays. The 2 big dark blobs by the root of the tooth are the absesses. The one silver lining is that I did a lot of scary stuff today by myself. Took myself to the ER alone. Got major dental work (which is already a phobia) alone. Getting more major dental work done alone tomorrow. So I'm patting myself on the back for that big time.

Also fun plus, the new dentist I went to collects Doctor Strange comic books.

Moral of this story: Doctors, Nurses, Dentists, & Hygienists - please believe your patients when they say something is wrong & they are in pain. Please don't make them suffer for 3 months like I did & tell me you think it's nothing!

Sometimes I relate to comic vigilantes who are desperate and alone, bodies bruised and aching for days, sleepless nights fighting and solving cases, because college just feels like that too.

[random-bookquotes]

Do you love to win or hate to lose? Sometimes this question alone can give us insight into our personal history and our psyche. Do you want people to congratulate you, or are you more focused on avoiding disapproval? Do you want to turn in the best report in your department, or do you want to make sure you don’t leave any room for criticism? Are you looking to get promoted or to avoid getting fired?

How are you doing today?

My whole body and all my emotions are yelling at me through like 14 megaphones at the same time. Hbu ?

missing pj hours

[agentfreckles]

It's six am and I just finished reading M's route in book 3, feeling superrr cool, calm and collected about it. How are you?

Oh, you know, just hanging out and definitely not growing delirious from the now fifteen hours I’ve been up putting my heart in a blender and pressing purée. And I still only managed to check off A and M’s routes. I’ve got three more routes to suffer through!

So I am a little plus sized and won’t be able to fit in anyone’s hoodie

However

They can fit in mine :3

[random-bookquotes]

Values are not attained in a vacuum. All of us are formed by the people and places around us, much like a piece of clay. But unlike an inanimate piece of clay, we also bear responsibility for the values we hold. We are participants in our present and future selves. Gaining awareness of our value systems and where they come from gives us power to move forward into our futures with more clarity of what we want to change and what we want to keep. When it comes to value setting, awareness is your power, curiosity is your weapon, and your actions are the story the world will tell long after you’re gone. This is your shot to write a story you’re proud of.
