September 29th

Pediatist appointment went well, getting some new custom orthotics and the doctor dude was super direct. Very to the point kinda guy, felt so fucking weird to have my dogs looked at by a complete stranger though. After that, ran some errands, stopped at a petsmart, then took a 20 minute walk at one of the preserves. This is gonna be a tad outta order but yknow who cares. 

Had a blast once I got home from that outing. Played rdr2 online with the old man, did a buncha bounties and murdered so many npcs. Finally got enough for my own bounty pass too! It was pretty late by the time I had to shoo him away to go spend time with his wife. He'll get stuck on something and forget about everything else. Wonder who me and my sister inherited our nuerodivergency from,, truly a mystery for the ages.

Played by myself for a while, came across this one person. They were just walking around, wasn't sure if they were gonna shoot me but ultimately we waved at eachother spin around in circles then went on our way. But not really, I kept running into them and we were being friendly still so I invited her to my posse. They didn't have a working mic and I'm actually not too sure if they could even hear me but we did a buttload of missions [ mostly bounties ]. Kinda hoping they couldn't hear me cause I talk to myself and kept forgetting to switch my mic off. I say some weird fucking shit man, if they could hear me I'm praying it's a proximity thing.

Musta been cool with me because they sent a friend request and we hung out in their moonshine bar thing. I didn't even know that was a place, there was an entire ass band down there, AND you could fucking choose an instrument to take over!! That was super fun, guess it's canon now that my dude knows how to play the fiddle and bass.

The walk was great, saw this big ol millipede, it was on the bridge and my mother almost stepped on it. So glad I spotted it when I did, was the biggest millipede I've ever come across. It was missing one of its antenna and had a bit of a messed up face but my god, one of the absolute cutest critter. My mother took a few photos after that I just got it off the bridge and tossed it into the forest debris.

Now,, for a smidge of background: my mother does fishtank stuff, currently she's trying to get the big 29 gallon tank going with some guppies. There's a few fish currently in there but once the guys have gone through the quarantine it's all gonna get swapped around. [ Cept for the singular 7yr blue glow fish, if he's got no issue with the small super active fish he'll stay in there. Would feel wrong to move him now actually. ]

We initially stopped at the petsmart to get a few females. BUT I also may or may not have convinced her to get this dainty lil betta who looked astoundingly pathetic. I've decided on the name Petunia for her, ironically she's actually a fucking menace. My mother thought she was gonna be chill with the other fish but no. We've only ever had male bettas in the past so I suppose her being a female betta with how frail she looked made her think she'd be non-confrontational. Nah dude she scared the everloving FUCK outta one of those fish. She went full on hunting mode, that little orange guppy had it's life flash before it's eyes. Hid under a log for like an hour or two, long after my mother scrambled and got Petunia in a small spare tank we have. Had my mother not stepped in Petunia woulda gone after and murdered all three of those female guppies.

Well, I think Petunia is absolutely precious and she will be residing in my room after we get a new ten gallon tank going for her. My mother has her hands full with the three other tanks so I've decided to take full #responsibility for that sweet little angel who's never done anything wrong in her entire life. Since I've had bettas before and the tank's gonna be understocked it should be no issue. Kinda silly, the last one I had was named Bruce Wayne and was this big-ass black betta who was so gentle. I really do adore Petunia though, can't wait to get her outta that 3gal into a 10gal.

That was all yesterday though. For today's agenda: I'm gonna do some cleaning/organizing, get atleast one load of laundry done, read outside for a while, do my testosterone, and then hopefully do some art. Maybe I'll help with the Halloween decorations too.

Better get started I mean it's already 11:30am!
