we're in X-Files s6, Two Fathers/One Son. questions: 1. Do we think Krycek was actually trying to give Agent Spender a recruitment speech, or drive a wedge between him and CSM? it's hard for me to believe he has any admiration for CSM. spouse suggested he was told to do the recruitment speech but—

in the land of hmm not sure how i feel about the surveillance state, my therapist says we have to be on the call at least 40 min because the insurance is auditing and refusing to pay for shorter calls. so like if i'm a couple minutes late logging on we gotta stay longer at the end or he's not paid

Wait, I just realized both Skinner and Mulder have Scully as an emergency contact, how was this fandom not shipping poly spouse: because no one wants to ship skinner? me: oh honey. mulder/skinner was a popular slash pairing.

my cat longs to use my tits for a pillow, but when I'm sitting up and not wearing a bra they're inadequately supportive. I just hiked my leg up so she can sit how she wants to sit.

hooray I accomplished a hardware thing in the closet that I've been meaning to do for a month & hadn't gotten around to, by dint of my spouse sitting in the room while I did it & also taking a shelf out to shorten it with a hacksaw because I was like I'm already out of breath from unscrewing things

hm ok fascinating my phone has vanished (it's probably down the side of the bed i don't want to ping it while spouse is asleep) currently on ipad which is less than ideal. the keyboard is dead and i can't lay hand on an old fashioned micro usb charger, and my earbuds are aggressively bt'd to phone

so what do you do with a live mouse? My cat caught a mouse and she came to show it to me but she hadn't killed it so it scampered away so she's working on re-catching it and if she comes to me again, what do I do?

apparently my cat has been hunting, spouse thinks we have a mouse if any of our cats could catch it would be the one who was on her own for two months and came to the shelter round i hope this also means she will eat it and not bring me a gift

ok the fadeout where the page asks you to subscribe is amazing
Light text on a dark background, fading out over five lines until the bottom is barely legible. Reads: "She frowned, and a dusting of glitter on her forehead caught the light. 'Where gave you been, Stewartina? Don't you study this shit? Schools aren't allowed to teach anything that suggests that the clitoris exists.'" Below the text, a bright magenta line

in an interesting turn of events I had to negotiate with my cat to get out of bed—when I told cat I wanted to get up she just repositioned herself on me but when I told her I wanted to eat food, she hopped off I have to tell her the why and she has to approve

huh trader joe's sells this little packet of "protein pancakes" (which are incidentally gluten free) and i git them out of curiosity and then left them in the fridge like 3 weeks and i heated them up today expecting staleness or weird texture from recipe or my neglect, but they are good and tender

the cat has come to wake me with sitting on me. a slightly counterproductive strategy as i'm less likely to get up and feed her when she seems entirely comfortable pinning me down. we've been here for over an hour.

given how my health has been, i would probably be this tired even if i hadn't spent four ish hours watching critrole today, but my brain is stubbornly trying to form a pattern with a causation between how i feel and what i did (lay in bed mostly listening to a thing, playing clicky games)

in other news the cat spent a higher than usual proportion of last night and today on top of me and i'm forced to wonder does she understand enough english that she's fulfilling my request for snuggles yesterday, or is she concerned about me for some reason

i feel bad like i couldn't sleep and then had Side Effect crap, which is standard "how my body crashes," but also I'm cold (spouse tells me the weather's the same, it's just me) and my blood sugar was elevated while i was having side effects which is a thing that can happen if you have an infection

I wanna get up and eat something, but the cat is sitting on me. Unsure if I should take this as Cat believes I am furniture or Cat believes I should stay the fuck in bed.
