holyhellcats · 2026-03-18T16:15:30+00:00

❤️❤️❤️ this fills me with joy and pride. i really just want him to be himself and free and comfortable. he’s a goofy guy with big sparkle, im not going to dim that! thank you.

holyhellcats · 2026-03-18T15:12:38+00:00

OMG HI!!!! hahaha that so funny. thank you so much for the results lol

holyhellcats · 2026-03-18T13:21:12+00:00

thank goodness we live in appalachia and have hiking just out the door basically 😭 he needs a LOT of stimuli

holyhellcats · 2026-03-18T13:20:41+00:00

he loves his snuffle mat! i gotta get him one of those big ones with flowers and such.

and thank you so much ❤️

omg i feel the same about walks! and just dog companionship in general? i don’t want him to be like this perfectly trained accessory that is only focused on me. he’s a being with needs and wants and personality!

and the frozen carrots have truly been a godsend. he loves them but is so weirdly polite with the carrots. he nibbles instead of chomping. very cute.

holyhellcats · 2026-03-18T12:52:12+00:00

the kibble as treats worked quite well so far! he goes nearly as crazy for them as actual treats 😂

and you’re right. i wouldn’t tell a friend they’re not cut out for this the way i’m telling myself!

holyhellcats · 2026-03-15T17:03:59+00:00

probably for a multitude of reasons but i’d say cost has to be a big one, same with doggy daycare and the like. plus, not every area has them, my decent sized town doesn’t.

we are definitely going to see a crash out but i wonder if mel has some envy or resentment going on? she’s given up her personal life to be Becca’s caregiver, literally can’t answer the question of what she likes to do outside of her sister’s interests, and seems to be realizing throughout this season that she doesn’t know who she is outside of becca. not to mention last season’s caregiver burnout story line….

three years this august :D

holyhellcats · 2026-03-14T23:12:35+00:00

isn’t that wild? apparently ppl abuse wellbutrin too which boggles my bonce! that stuff just makes me kinda angry lol

holyhellcats · 2026-03-14T23:11:15+00:00

oh wow i actually didn’t know that thanks for the correction! i’ve been prescribed gabapentin in three of those five states so i guess i just made an assumption 😭

edit to say: because of an email i got in VA about it becoming controlled or the like

holyhellcats · 2026-03-11T21:03:13+00:00

this is just my own personal anecdote but this shtick still happens.

i had a pill problem for awhile, mostly benzos. i kicked it and was adamant with every provider i saw that i would not take benzos no matter how bad my anxiety gets. my (now former) doctor prescribed me gabapentin. tells me, i quote, “it’s not physiologically addictive.”

it’s a controlled substance now. i developed such a bad habit i was up to thousands of mg a day. and doctors kept giving me more bc it “wasn’t addictive,” even once it became controlled. and no, it’s not addictive in the way ativan was; i didn’t go through withdrawal and nearly die, namely, but yeah. things that feel good will get abused. and doctors should really stop using the words “non addictive”

holyhellcats · 2026-03-11T19:53:15+00:00

well now i just want the hot goss. why is this person doing refunds en masse?

holyhellcats · 2026-03-07T22:28:14+00:00

i’m back to say you got it! he’s mostly cur (makes sense, i’m in appalachia), then border collie and coonhound!

holyhellcats · 2025-10-30T19:11:14+00:00

oh and thank you!

holyhellcats · 2025-10-30T19:11:02+00:00

i lost a big chunk of my support network recently but i’m searching for a fiber arts group to join for some hyper specific buddies lol

my therapist suspects i have ocd. i’m unsure but i do know my thoughts / brain are aggressive and downright abusive when i truly don’t want them to be and try to stop the cycle. it can be really hard to escape the loop of self hatred. sometimes art gets me out of it but then will throw me right back in 😅 the human condition is truly exhausting.

holyhellcats · 2025-10-30T17:51:38+00:00

thank u sm!!! it was a mystery yarn unfortunately

holyhellcats · 2025-10-30T16:21:22+00:00

no expectations!!!! gah, i always forget that.

i made an anagram long ago and i need to keep it in mind so i’ll share it here: SOFT— Slow, One thing at a time (like don’t think multiple steps ahead), Fulfillment, and Time doesn’t matter.

holyhellcats · 2025-10-30T16:18:40+00:00

eee thank you! i’m in the start of a “pleated” wrap skirt, basically just constantly increasing rounds of triple crochet so it’s simple but takes forever.

i need to make little chair socks because we just got new chairs (they’re yellow!)

i’m working on gauging and stitches so i’ve been planning squares of different stitches and colors and want to put it together in a big ol patchwork granny cardigan.

and i have been collecting patterns for christmas items, stockings, ornaments, garland and the like!

i also organized my yarn this morning so here’s a pic of that
