I know entirely too much about space toilets for someone who doesn’t work in aerospace. I mostly post when I’m dog sitting.

It finally happened. The plane I’m on needed a reboot.

I paid what I thought was an executive function failure tax, but it looks like the KTN lookup tool just wasn’t working this morning. It’s fine it’s fine everything is fine. 🙃

Somehow we taught my niblings to ask me for LEGO. I taught Nibling #2 that I would say no to expensive short-term requests. I think our good intentions created a monster. Nibling #2 asked for $130+ set for her birthday 7 months in advance. 😂 “I didn’t want you to say no at the last minute. 😂”

I twisted and bent down at the same time and that was enough to tweak something in my back. Favorite Human has made me lay down in the dark (because, according to him, getting a migraine on top of this would be awful) with a heating pad.

Me: “Do you smell a campfire?” Favorite Human: “There is no fire. Ignore the glowing hot pans on the stove.” Me: “WHAT?”

Folks, do not challenge May. Do not make eye contact. Do nothing that will call attention to yourself. May will duck you up. Just tiptoe past and hope for the best. Trust me on this.

I have not mentioned space toilets once today to my coworkers. FavHuman would be proud.

I’m being informed that it’s almost midnight and I have to stop posting about space toilets for the night. Place your bets now on whether my new coworkers are going to get an earful from me tomorrow.

FavHuman: “Apparently the toilet on Artemis II -“ Me: “- isn’t working.” FavHuman: “The nicest, most advanced space toilet is already broken?!”

Me: “Honey, can I talk about space toilets?” FavHuman releases a heavy sigh. “You can talk about space toilets. Just not at the party.”

Day 3 of Dopey Dog We start the day entirely too early with an airport run. Dopey Dog seems happy (if confused) to go for yet another car ride. When we finally return home, he barges into the bedroom to check on FavHuman. So much for sneaking in quietly.

Day 2 of Dopey Dog I wake to Dopey Dog bouncing and making Concerned Noises. I try letting him outside. He stares at me through the door. We try going back to bed and cuddling. Noises continue. Outside again, both of us this time. Success. Back to bed.

Day 1 of Dopey Dog Dopey Dog was super excited for his car rides and even waited like a champ when things were transferred between cars. I snapped a pic of Dopey Dog in the front seat and sent it to FavHuman, who had previously requested that I return with food. “That’s a dog, not food.”

I just put foil covered onions in my oven to roast. No salt, no pepper, no seasonings, no oil. Onions and foil. I have no idea what I’m doing.

FavHuman doesn’t eat salmon skin. He saves it for the dogs in our lives. (Angry Dog is going to be very happy to see him tonight!)

It’s Wash Day! FavHuman is almost constantly moving. Pacing while talking on the phone, standing to eat dinner (yes, even at Thanksgiving), tossing and turning for sleep, etc. He merely tolerates sitting still long enough to get his hair redone. And tonight he’s getting at least 6 braids.

Me: Fine. I’ll bundle up and clear the walk. Me, not even five minutes later: I have no gloves, I’m out of shape, I just got paid. I’m paying someone to do this.

For Reasons, FavHuman does the majority of the cooking. The other night he tortured me with a brisket in the oven for hours. When it was done, he deemed it edible but too dry. So I’m making a stew with it!

It has Been Decided that the next time @msneonkitten.bsky.social goes out of town that there will be a slight change. Angry Dog will go to @starstryder.space’s place and Dumb Dog will come here. I’m only thinking of this because FavHuman recently asked when Tanya travels again.

Angry Dog Interlude I’m at Angry Dog’s house, making pie and cleaning. I have been left alone with the dog, who is beside himself with anxiety because his mom committed the great sin of leaving and not taking him. Buddy, they aren’t going to appear no matter how often I open the door.

Day 19 of Angry Dog Woke up to Angry Dog belly flopping himself over me. I rolled over and went back to sleep for a few more hours. He doesn’t know it yet, but today’s the day we pick his mom up from the airport.

Day 18 of Angry Dog Woke up to Angry Dog whining and desperately trying to get my attention. He trampled over FavHuman in his rush to get outside. We returned to bed where I laid awake for hours. But at least all three of us were comfy?

Day 17 of Angry Dog I’m the first one to wake up and Angry Dog joins me for morning scritches once he notices. Then it’s up, out, check bowls, and back to bed.

Day 16 of Angry Dog I’m the last one to wake up. We convince Angry Dog to hop up on the bed so he’s not underfoot. FavHuman draped a blanket over him.

Day 14 of Angry Dog Not sure what woke me up, but Angry Dog joined us in bed for morning stritches. He side-eyed FavHuman a bunch but tolerated his existence. After letting him out and refilling his bowls, I retreated back to the warmth of my bed.

Day 13 of Angry Dog I was the first one up. “Take your meds at 10pm” he said. “It’ll be fine” he said. I was awake at 3am. I’ve basically been awake since then. There was a half awake conversation this morning about how I got it to work before. Angry Dog sat up at the sound of my voice.

Day 11 of Angry Dog Woke up to Angry Dog pawing at me and the smell of grease smoke. When questioned, FavHuman informed me that there was grease in the bottom of the oven. (He was reheating ribs.) We also learned that Angry Dog would only save me in a house fire.

Day 8 of Angry Dog Woke up to Favorite Human doing his best imitation of Angry Dog pawing at me. For whatever reason, Angry Dog decided to paw at him for attention this morning. Angry Dog joins us on the bed where I greet him with stritches and cuddles. I eventually go back to sleep.

Day 6 of Angry Dog Angry Dog spent a couple of nights elsewhere. He was ESTATIC to get in the car to go literally anywhere else. We went to the pet store for treats, which was fine… until it wasn’t. He was patient while I browsed treats, tolerated looking at fish, but was done at checkout.

Day 5 of Angry Dog Angry Dog hops up into bed to get morning stritches and cuddles. Occasionally glances at Favorite Human with concern, but mostly focuses on interacting with me. (FavHuman purposefully does not touch Angry Dog. Something about “oh that’s a bad idea.”)

Day 4 of Angry Dog Woke up to an empty bed with fewer blankets than usual. Phone rings. It’s Favorite Human, calling me from the other room asking me to get the dog out of the bedroom so he can lay down and sleep. Sometime last night FavHuman yanked a blanket from the bed, despite growling.

Day 3 of Angry Dog Woke up after snoozing my alarm a gazillion times. I moved enough that Angry Dog decided that it was okay to pop onto the bed for morning stritches. Which was very closely followed by the reminder for our morning walk.
