Shady Echoes

I woke up before 5, which I was really not expecting. And then it rained again and Lady Miss Friday slept against my leg, so I clocked in just before 7:30. Not that they would care if I shifted my time a little later, but I would. A lot of the work I'd set up yesterday had ripened, so I didn't start eservice until late. The headstart from yesterday ended up evening out. I made my post giving everyone bonuses if they sign up for Current, but it's up to them. I like passive income, though I'll grant that I might stretch the boundaries of "passive." I thought I had my Quarterly Meeting with Lynelle, so I buzzed my beard, washed my hair, and trimmed my talons. It wasn't, but I was glad I dehoboed. I meant to do my usual non-CMS work on my lunch, and journal with any spare time, but it rained again, so I spent it consoling Lady Miss Friday. I still managed to get enough done I didn't have much to do outside CMS after 4.

Lady Miss Friday was nauseous, and I thought she was going to vomit on my bed again. Obviously, the preference is for her not to need to vomit, but I'd rather it not be on my bed, and if it is, that it be on some shirts or even my gross blanket instead of the relatively clean one. She kept it down, though, so I gave her a pile of catnip as a thank you. Not that my giant bricks of catnip are terribly expensive, but they are fairly messy, and I've figured out I can just put a bunch in the lid and put it out for her. It's not quite as good, because she can't roll around in it, but variable rates of that seem to work beautifully.

In our ADI Teams, JJD had been posting lyrically appropriate tracks to the various morning greetings and I commended him while gently reminding him we have a Music Group.... that is largely just me sharing maybe 8/week to. He talked about The Jaybirds and The Byrds, but it turns out that's not like the Hatfields and the McCoy's. I suggested a Music Group for ADI within Teams, hoping Management would assent or decline, but JJD just went ahead and made one. Easier to beg forgiveness than ask permission, I suppose. I posted Berth, since I was going to explode from not sharing it to the Group, JJD posted a few tracks...not that I ever run out of things to say about music, but it was a little masturbatory.

I also saw a post from Katie Davis, a woman I met years and years ago at Abid's going away party. I left the party early because I got sick. I thought it was from accidentally doubling up on my HIV meds, but I have no clue. She had a Great Dane and was a big animal lover, so we got along very very well and became FB friends. Fun Fact: Tomy was also at that party! I didn't know him yet, but I'm in the background of one of his pics from it. Anyway, Katie posted some nonsense about Cancel Culture coming for Seuss, and when people pointed out that the company did it themselves, she said it was because they were scared of a liberal mob. I don't think I've ever seen someone work so hard to paint themselves as a victim, and I've seen *a lot* of people desperate to claim oppression.

In the afternoon, Orlando, that guy who went off the crystal rails when I declined to sleep with him, posted joking about chloroform. I have experience there, so I mentioned that the stuff definitely does not work like it does in the movies. He made some joke about whoring me out, and I went along with it. I wasn't really sure how much of it was joking, especially after he DM'd me about it, but I was serious. I'm still not sure where I stand with sex, but if all I needed to do was show up and get gangbanged, conscious or not, that might make a good segue back to sex work. Unfortunately, even though I don't think he's going to be my manager, he then started hitting on me again.

I hadn't eaten much yesterday, since Booze Binges fuck up my stomach for days after, and hadn't been hungry today. I was thinking about trying intermittent fasting when Tim called. He does 16 hour or full day fasting, I think, and just once or twice a week. Since I already had over 16 hours, I decided to just go the whole day and eat again tomorrow. He also mentioned his concern from this past weekend when I was Hell-Bent on recreatinG 2019. And apparently many people have asked him if I was a sex addict. He took one of those Quizzes that scans for markers of sex addiction, and scored low to moderate. He answered as he thought I would and scored a lot higher, and then took it as me when I was using. It's sort of ironic that I scored so high while actual sex wasn't really on my radar.
