      So much this. The past few years have exacerbated it, too. Out of sight, out of mind, and it contributes to the spiral.

      One of my 2023 resolutions is to go through and try to rekindle any that have kind of flamed out in the past three years that may be attributable to this. I think it’s going to be hard, but worthwhile in the end.

        @Solstice Saaaaame.

        I’ve tried to be better about reaching out to discord friends and the like, at least, like, once a year to say “Hi, I know you’re alive and I still think you’re neat.” I always hope that it will spark a more ongoing conversation.

        It rarely does, and I’m sad about that - but at the same time, if I’m always the one reaching out, then it does start to feel like, “Ohhhh, right, I am more attached than you are, and I should definitely back off.”

            @Solstice This is why I do vibe checks on you and other friends. As a light prodding of ‘hey, I hope you’re doing okay and I still want to hear from you, even if I’m also using it as an excuse to drag you to my game because I enjoy playing with you because you’re awesome’.

              @Pyrephox Same for initiating RP. If you don’t, it never happens.

                  someone should’ve told Bram Stoker not to write out accents in RP literature

                  as previously stated, good day.

                        I have a very nice, very warm coat that cost me a pretty penny when I bought it a few years back. My cats love to sleep on it, so it’s constantly covered in hair – but that’s not so bad, a quick wash and dry clears it up.

                        The other day though, I heard a distinct ripping sound, walk into my room, and one of the little punks was carefully but very thoroughly ripping out the stitching of the inside sleeve seam with her teeth. This is the same goblin that is always trying to rip the buttons off all of my clothes, just for the hell of it, and destroys every cord she can get her little demon paws on.

                        WHY

                          Due to storm damage at his school, my son is in remote instruction all week and I hate it just as much as I hated it the first time.

                            … ugh. How did the school not learn this sucks the first time!? Just give the kids a week off school. It’ll lead to less loss in the long run. 😞

                              Addendum to the peeve: All of my damn clothes are covered in hair. I am consciously buying fabrics less likely to accumulate hair, and there are a bunch of lint rollers around the house but to no avail; it’s an endless loop, a game of whack’a’mole I can’t win.

                                I love my cats, but our elderly one is so very persicknicky when it comes to the state of the litter boxes. And if it’s not up to his standards, we’ll find a shirt peed on. It hasn’t happened in a long time, as in years, but it’s still annoying when it does happen.

                                And I know it’s just what he believes the litter boxes should be. So it doesn’t matter that I hadn’t cleaned them two days ago(I try to clean them every other day, all three of them), because the moment I clean them, he sees this and scampers to the box to take a piss.

                                I think, “really, dude?” Now I have to soak my Gojira tour shirt in vinegar for the next couple hours because you decides to be a little shit about it.

                                    My cat pees on my pillows whenever she’s mad at me and gets access to them. I understand, and I’m sorry you have to deal with it.

                                          I had scheduled myself a nice buffer of free time (i’m off today - monday) but it seems i’ve picked up the latest upper respiratory creeping crud that’s going around at my school. 😕
