I just had a rather unnerving experience. Its the middle of the night and I went outside. I live in an area where seeing deer, opossums, skunks, raccoons, coyotes or even the odd fox or armadillo isnt unheard of or unusual. So i heard this rustling sound and tried to locate it. Eventually in the moonlight i spotted movement. I thought it was a stray cat that lives in the area so I initially didnt move. I finally saw what it was and it wasnt a cat. It was a raccoon. It was coming directly at me. I began to move back slowly and it kept following me. If you know nothing else about raccoons know this: if they approach you its not good. They likely are rabid and fear has gone away from them. I dont want to think about how dangerous this was. I managed to not only put distance between it and me but also managed to spook it away from me. Not a wise move (spooking it) as it could have rushed me, but, it fled so i got away. Stupid and lucky. Im safe, my pets are safe. But still. Fine to watch from a distance or from behind glass, but not from 4-5 feet or less. Scary. 020109172024 <runs back to hide>

<cautiously peeks out from the shadows><quickly runs out> i had to buy my cat some more food. Normally not a big deal but, i do buy her 1 specific type of food. Purina Cat Chow Indoor dry cat food. I usually buy it at my local grocery store. Today I couldnt. I started what would be a 3.5 hour 100 mile quest to find her food at 0630. I got to my grocery got some stuff for me then went to the pet food isle to get her food. They had all sorts of cat food but the food my cat eats? None. No big deal I thought, ill just go to another store. I kid you not I drove to 6 or 7 DIFFERENT branches of my local grocery store going north in hopes of finding her food. Not 1 of them had it. I finally went to petsmart to find it. When did everyone decide their kitties all need purina cat chow indoor? Holy grail of cat food i guess. <runs back to the shadows to hide> 122309152024 130209152024

Im coming out of lurking and self imposed silence to answer a question for @magnemoe if by official you mean made by apple then no. But its made to apple specs and purchased off amazon. I purchased it from the Smallelectric Store on amazon and its product description says: iPhone Charger 10 ft,3-Pack Extra Long Lightning Cable [Apple MFi-Certified] iPhone Charger Cord 10 Foot Fast Charging for iPhone 13 12 11 Pro Max X XS XR/8 Plus/7 Plus/6/6s Plus/5s /5c/iPad Mini Air. Having said that it lasted 4-5 years before failure. Now Im returning to the shadows to lurk again. 074709022024

granted. you get a bag of tea leaf dust, a bag of unprocessed coffee beans still in their pods, a sack of unmarked flour, you do not know if its all purpose, bread or cake flour, a jug of just enough water, some sesame seeds, sunflower seeds and oats. You find tho, you have no bowls, no oven, just some wood, a stone, some fibrous plant and a stick. i wish to be welcome, to feel valid, to feel like i matter, to feel like i belong, to feel like my companionship is wanted by more than just my cat. 024408232024

Floor 5693: a floor containing the broken, the forgotten, the forlorn, the unwanted. Here they find solace, here they find companionship. Here they also find some kitties to play with because kitties man, kitties are da bestestest ever. But, in one corner is a sin eater. That sin eater is broken beyond repair, that sin eater just wants the pain to stop. A lone kitty comes to this sin eater and curls up into the sin eaters lap. the sin eater breaks down sobbing. 024008232024

Id say 2 things. First will be silly then if I had the real honor of being the first one is what Id actually say. The silly: I claim Mars in the name of.... oh no... whats that.... <cuts camera feed after a wilhelm scream is heard> The real: In 1969 Neil Armstrong was the first to walk the moon. Neil good sir, that was a giant leap for man kind, but today, this marks our first steps into the greater cosmos. Thank you for helping pave our way here so long ago. 023708232024

granted. you find that miracles become commonplace. so common they stop being miraculous and are as common as getting a tea or a coffee or a bagel. They lose ALL their specialness. i wish i could just forget myself 023408232024
