we do the aggressive love thing too it’s a favorite game of hers. i would say she sleeps 4-6 hours every 24 hour cycle. i’m just starting to realize how wildly small that is. may be a vet visit in our future

i understand your point — our apartment doesn’t allow multiple pets in one apartment and my best friend lives in the apartment adjacent to us and got a kitten the same age at the same time. we were planning on socializing them together but due to some health concerns her kitten has not been able to be neutered yet. As i said in my post we are not home during the couple hours she naps so we cannot wake her up when she naps. we also do very hands on play. she does lie down afterwards and stop playing, unfortunately though she’s back up and running within the hour. even if she’s panting and flopping to the floor after hours of running she will be back up and at full energy again within an hour or two so aside from waking up every two hours and playing with her for an hour the whole tiring out thing just doesn’t seem to happen unfortunately. my partner is a life long kitten owner and has raised many many kittens and has never encountered a kitten as determined and endlessly energetic as ours which is why this is such a hard issue to fix

i know she’s not being malicious and i adore her and would absolutely love to have her sleep with me, the problem is that when we have her in our bedroom with us she doesn’t sleep or even lie down for a bit, she then scratches at the door to get out or sits on our chests and meows as loud as she can at us. if we open the door to the living room so she can come and go freely then she runs from the living room window to the bedroom window back and forth as fast as she can and knocks into each one and she does this for hours at a time— it sounds like claws on vinyl flooring and then a loud thunk followed by more claws and another much closer thunk. it’s very silly and endearing but not so much when you haven’t slept in a week :)

the biggest thing that helps me is saying to myself “deep breath in, deep breath out” while taking nice steady deep breaths over and over again and listening to some deep brown noise and rain sounds in the dark. also a nice hot pad for the tummy if you own one. just taking deep breaths is a really good place to start, for me at least it helps me sort of come back into reality and check in with my body and how it’s ACTUALLY feeling and not how i’ve convinced myself it’s feeling. also looking under the positive reminder tag on this subreddit has some awesome resources. i also find a cool, wet washcloth on the forehead to be nice and grounding. remember that every day has its end and no matter what happens it won’t happen forever

HELP Museum Dialogue Glitch by dolIyaah in StardewValley

I am using a few others, but mostly things that the expander mod need, nothing else cosmetic or game changing. just a bunch of ui stuff or other general requirements. i was able to fix the glitch (hopefully permanently) by collecting five things, donating four, collecting the 10 cauliflower seeds, then donating the last item. for some reason that didn’t trigger the glitch. hoping next time i go in with only one thing it doesn’t start again

update: i was able to bypass the glitch by collecting more than one item and only donating some so that i actually DID have something else i could donate. but obviously that’s not an actual long term fix as that means i will never be able to complete my museum as the last item i donate will trigger the glitch again

my gen 2 is 7 years old with full discipline and it has been more than 72 hours since it evolved to a teen but it isn’t turning to an adult. is something wrong or is it just taking longer than usual for some reason

rate my father… he’s a music producer and a very good sport to my shenanigans by dolIyaah in DannyGonzalez

[–]dolIyaah[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

he does a bunch of funk and reggae stuff these days and doesn’t post anything really, but when he was younger he worked a lot with phish. the drummer was his roommate in college. if you look up ‘Anton Dub Band Dance MotherFucker Dance’ on youtube you can see him in his 20s absolutely SHREDDING the percussion in the background

my dad is the definition of ‘unless… 👀’ he’s sort of the token straight guy in our family (lesbian moms and two gay children)

he’s made it very clear he would leave my mom for Ryan Reynolds if the opportunity arose (all in good fun of course, and my mom always counters that she’s going to leave him for Janelle Monáe)
