Whine like a baby, now with 500% more drama!

OH FOR FUCK'S SAKE, CREAM!!!! THE KITCHEN TILE IS TWO FEET AWAY!!!!!. You're still my orange oochy smoochy fluffy butt.
I've read this happens when cats eat dry food and then drink water and it expands rapidly in their stomach. My little puker was too old to change things up when I discovered it so I don't have a solution for you but maybe you will figure something out.
 
The dog we're currently taking care of has the tendency to scarf down his food too fast and bring it back up again, too... But he's polite enough to eat it right back up and not leave a spot :p
 
Usually my biologics don’t wreck me, but the one yesterday left me a violently ill mess. I’m too disgusting to watch tv much less play PoE and my cat keep kneeling my stomach. I’m too exhausted to stop her.

I can finally eat and I’m hoping I will be able to lift my head/play etc later.

Acid reflux. Fucking hate it. Woke up about 2 am coughing and some of it went down my windpipe. So now my throat is burning, I had a HUGE coughing fit (waking everyone else up), gagged so much I was throwing up everything I've eaten in the last week, and feeling just awful. So now I'm up, wide awake, watching Train to Busan.

I occasionally will wake up to acid reflux going into my sinus cavity. That shit burns for the rest of the night.

Yeah, I got this bad. There are meds that can make this perfectly livable, but some of them (famotidine, cimetidine) are in short supply because of medicine recalls and idiots thinking they could cure COVID. It's been a trying few weeks for me.
 
I've had AR since my early 20s. If it gets going I'm basically purposely vomiting to get some relief since there isn't any kind of medication that makes it better for me.
The only thing that keeps me from having it is staying off really fatty, spicy or caffeine loaded food and drink.
 
Down to ramen and PB&J until next Friday, and pray like hell nothing touches that $20 cushion between rent and the end of my balance. Something's got to give. And I can't keep coming around here hat in hand. I recancelled hulu months ago, but there are no regrets about spending that $200 on an air conditioner. Some things had to be done. But I'm still a month behind on everything. They're getting paid, but way later than intended. There's a third paycheck in October, but too much is due before then. Like car insurance. As things stand, that's not happening.

Changing jobs could bring in more money, but I'm in the doghouse here, so I'm not coming from a position of strength. No way will they be offering me more to stay.

FUCK.
 
I ignored a health issue to the point I now get to go have painful surgery to fix it. Yay me!

I go in on Sept 11th (does anything good happen on that day?) and will be out of work recovering for 4 weeks.
 
A hot new female coworker who was going to join my department this week won't be joining us after all due to paperwork issues. :(
 
People - if you are going to get into backyard chicken ranching - please, for the love of all that is holy, please give a crap about your chickens. For fucks sake, I spent the first two hours of my day rummaging though a bramble pile because our neighbors never bothered to put up more than a 3 foot tall chicken fence and they're constantly in our back yard. Since possession is 9/10 of the law, I'm thinking this might be our first chicken.
 
I think this one has been coming over to roost in some of the tall grass in our back yard. This is the second time I've seen this specific chicken in our yard (she's still here, hiding in another bush I can't cut down right this instant). Last time we found six or seven eggs, and since they have a rooster, they may have been fertilized (but were long since dead by the time we found them). If we find any eggs this time they're going under an incubator.
 
Meant to post this three weeks ago but kept forgetting.
The stores have their Hallowe'en stuff on the floor already.
I've already gone and bought some candy corn for the wife.
Still haven't seen any "Halloween USA" stores pop up yet, though.

Yeah, the seasonal section of the grocery store near my house has had Halloween candy up since mid-August. That feels unusually early.

I guess the summer BBQ/Camping shit wasn't selling this year.

I'm... dreading Halloween. Things aren't going to be well and I'm still worried about COVID, but I don't want to shut the house down and deny kids what might be the ONLY real fun they've had in months. I guess I'm going to wait and see what happens with the schools: if they re-close (and I expect them to) then it might be another year without a Halloween.

Reminds me of a rancher I know. His neighbor had a prize bull ($100,000+) that kept jumping the fence between the ranches and impregnating my friends' cows. The other rancher demanded money for stud fees. My friend told him, OK, but next time I see your bull on my property I'll shoot him for trespassing.

We were actually talking about this with some friends down the street a few weeks ago. We had considered putting together special treats for our kids (since we've both been quarantining carefully), or instead of door-to-door, giving the kids a scavanger hunt, similar to Easter.

I mean, the only safe-ish thing I can think of is putting a bowl out on the front steps, but even then, kids will be putting their hands all over it.
 
Spirit Halloween has been around for a few weeks here, I only know because my daughter started her volunteer shift at the animal shelter again (which is pretty much just cleaning up the vet clinic after hours, so it seems reasonable) and I drove past it.
 
I'm confused. Why are people planning for an event where groups of people gather together and go house to house collecting anything from strangers who they can't prove have ever washed their hands?
