I can’t believe my little dinosaur is going to be 12 years old next year!

Have I told y’all specifically yet (it’s in my diary somewhere but I am not expecting you to go look for it) that my cockatiel was hatched on my birthday in 2007? So when I’m 24 she’ll turn half my age! It’ll require a celebration!! ? @bellbird dont read anything else in this diary right but this fact is partially for your enjoyment, lol
!!!!!!!
So exciting! And so neat she was hatched on your birthday! Unfortunately I don't know Tweeter's hatch day, so I just celebrate his adoption (by me) day :P First one coming up in several weeks!
Tweeter and I will send your dino a virtual birthday present.
P.S. I call Tweeter a lil dinosaur too. When he walks around on the floor of his cage he looks soooo much like a bebe T-rex. It's true; people always talk about dinosaurs going extinct, but really we see them every day!
 
happy day for birdies!

I think the recreation porn thing is pretty common - I've seen it alot on this site
It seems the more I bring up him and the dog, the more disturbing dreams I have.
Maybe because you are ready to talk about it? keeps poking you in the head saying "let me out!" It's ok to share and it's ok to be afraid of sharing but either way no one here is going to judge you.
It’s like there’s something physically lodged in my brain preventing me from getting it. It’s painful.
Oh yea - I get this too! I've learned to try to look away from it instead of at it. Then it will pop up when it's ready
 
I get this too!
Oh! I’m glad I’m not alone!!! I was worried there was something wrong with my brain, haha

I hope not. I’m afraid of disturbing people, but also I’m afraid of being ostracized for having weird shit happen. I dunno why. I know of someone else on here who had something similar happen, and I don’t judge her. In fact, I follow her with my real name on a YouTube channel, so I’m clearly not afraid of her. So if people acted afraid of me, then... well, I guess they need therapy? Not sure. We all need therapy. Even you, quietly browsing guests. (I bet I scared any if any were reading that just now, lol.) (Hopefully this post just gets lost in the system, though!!)

Now that you mention it, I think I’ve seen it at least in two trauma diaries. Maybe I’m thinking I’m the weirdest person on Earth again. But that’s actually my dad, not me :P




@Freida You had a hard day! Go to sleep! Lol ?
 
So, I assumed my hair pulling was not harming me because I don’t have any bald spots, and also the pulling has gotten WAY better. Seems to only happen when my hair gets really tangled or oily. So, shower fixes all. Easy since I shower so often.

But I also like to carefully tug out loose eyelashes because they tickle. But apparently I hurt an eyelid pore and it got clogged with dirt or bacteria and is infected. So that sucks. A lot.

After it clears up, I will need to be careful. Hopefully it will clear up in two days, or else I will need a doctor’s help.

Also, my mom refused to go to the ER today. She asked me if she’d get in trouble. My sister turned up the TV when I got into the heart of the risks. When we got home, I brought it up and got out of her that her blood sugar is about or above 400. Way above normal. Better than when it was 800 though. So I was trying to be positive and encourage. I channeled the inner me who has wanted to be a pediatrician since young. I made jokes about cinnamon and tried to explain how cells work in simple little ways. She said she’d make some changes.

She won’t. It makes me so sad. I will keep bringing it up. I think I need help figuring this out. I think I need to hire people and get things clean, get her a personal nurse. That’s not realistic, though. I have decided it’s not my responsibility. But someone with high blood sugar does not think clearly. She has not had normal blood sugar since 2010. Probably earlier. She never went to the doctor when Alex (my dad) lived with us. Not unless it was cancer treatment.

Which, by the way, her 12-year-anniversary of being cancer free happened!!! We celebrated that of course

I mean that my mom was trying to keep my dad from knowing things about her that could kill her. She may have had diabetes for years before that.

When my dad found out about her sleep apnea,

I had a flashback and decided not to continue that discussion. But just know my dad is a dick.

And my mom is cancer free!!! So we can manage the diabetes and celebrate that too!!
 
I would like to think about something else so I can sleep. Let’s see....

Bunnies. I used to have a bunny named Petie. (Short for Peter Cottontail, of course.) He was a New Zealand white, and he was a rescue with only one eye! But he was trusting and happy anyway. He used a litter box. :)
 
We usually go to our old neighborhood to get cat food from the pet store. My mom recently discovered they have bunnies there. Oh my god, she seems like a child. "LOOK AT HIM - HE'S SO ADORABLE" "I would loooooooooooove to have a bunny" etc, lol. She doesn't eat rabbit anymore, one day she touched a bunny and decided that.
Almost cries when she sees rabbits for sale at the supermarket.

I'm more pratical, rabbits are cute and all, so are cows and pigs, etc, I actually love all animals and eat them all with guilt. But because of her I hadn't had rabbit in forever.
But she loves my duck dishes and I call her a hypocrite :D
