Zelda and Pan have finally decided on their favorite spot to lay in the sun at the house - the window in the bunns room. I think it's so they can be with their sisters but it could also be because George lets Pan use her as a pillow.

Finally got the last box of my books unpacked at the house and now I just want to go curl up with Pan and Zelda and take a long nap. I'd say get George to join us but she looks pretty comfortable curled up with her sisters and Bernie in the bunny room. Usually one of the three girls is going all over the place so I'm definitely not going to interrupt them being calm and cuddly together.

Am I the only one who's really worried about that dog on tiktok who's owners gave it one of those talking boards to communicate with? I mean they posted a video of the dog apparently hitting the buttons to ask the question why dog why. This dog is having an existential crisis and the owners are just...recording it.

I used to love to go urban exploring in high school. Abandoned houses, stores, and even tunnels from where Sacramento was built on top of old Sacramento. And it was always interesting the kind of things you'd find left behind in old places. Or graffiti left by people who also explored it before you. My sister and Mom were always convinced that A. a tunnel would collapse on me or B. I'd run into a crazy squatter living in one of those places.




So today my sister sends me a video out of the blue with urban exploration in the hashtags. Two people opening up one of those bomb shelters from the cold war? I've never been in one of those. Anyway, they open it up to be greeted with someone having an Elmo hand puppet peek around the corner.

Do I know that was most likely staged for the video? Yes. Am I still glad I never came across someone with a hand puppet peeking around the corner at me? Also yes.

Okay, so after becoming a Shadowhunter over the weekend, I thought that was going to be the coolest thing to happen lately, but now I have a freaking Lightsaber in my hand! I was fully prepared to take on a couple droids with a Seraph Blade, but I can't pass up the chance to go full on Jedi! This is amazing!

Wait, so Elon Musk is really hosting SNL? When I first heard it I thought it was a joke, but it's actually true. I mean, why? What is the reason they thought that was a good idea? I'm wondering if this episode will be one of the least watched or if people will watch just to see if he sucks as much as they assume he will. I can already envision a lot of obvious cue card reading in this episode.

Has anyone else ever walked into their apartment to find their significant other vacuuming, but they're wearing a hoodie backwards with one of your pets in the hood like a weird kangaroo pouch? Because that's exactly how I found Armin and Mopsy today. And apparently he does this all the time, and I'm worried for no reason?

One of my brothers is getting married.

I found out from one of the other brothers. The one I actually talk to.

Turns out, I don't think I'm invited.

Which is cool. I don't want to go. I've had enough family time to last a lifetime.

It's still kind of...hurtful, I guess, that he didn't invite me.

But hey, that means I don't have to send a gift.

If I could stop being stalked by a wolf in my Dreams....and by a wolf in the dreams within my Dreams, that would be great. Because now I'm beginning to think I'm being stalked by it here and see it through my peripheral but I know I'm not and I just want to sleep. And not feel like I'm going to be repl Ugh. I mean I know I have to let it just go in its own time and keep going but really. Can't it move on already? I can't just randomly fall asleep at work or whatever because I'm so exhausted from running from a wolf in my Dreams and coffee isn't doing any good at staying awake.

Today I had a client ask we tell the caterer he wanted candle salads as a starter dish. And I've never heard of a candle salad before. So I looked it up. Okay fruit salad of some sort, but why is it called a candle salad?

So I kept scrolling to the finished picture. And um.

I don't really have much (any) experience in that area, but that really doesn't look like a candle to me, and I can really only think of one way you'd eat that.

Did I mention this event was a wedding rehearsal dinner? How much do you have to hate your in-laws?

So a while back, I had a dream where I met a girl at the bus stop. She was headed to California. Ran into her again, in Chicago. Something about it didn't sit right, and it turns out she is a scorcerer. She'd called up some shadow demons, called Daēvas. She caught me and Dean, but we were really just bait, she was fishing for our dad.

We finally saw him, reunioned with him for a hot minute. The Daēvas attacked, but we got away from them. And then parted ways with Dad. He's on a revenge mission to kill the demon that killed my mom, but you know. Has no idea how to actually kill a demon. Insists he has to do it alone, for now.

It's a lot to process. But in other news. I'm starting a new job with a new firm in a week and a half. So there's that too.

It's March, March means being able to find mint chocolate things everywhere. I'm specifically looking at you, McDonalds. I'm not sure about all of them, but the one closest to us doesn't have the shamrock shake available. I get it's a limited item, but it's just the beginning of the month.

For an old, blind and deaf dog, Buster can run like the wind. Little demon ball got out this morning and took off. Had me chasing him all up and down the street, and when he was worn out he made his way back home and collapsed on the porch.

he's fine. Just wore himself out.

I was in the store today and they have Easter stuff out already.

What's everyone's opinion on Peeps? Yay or nay?

I'm not really into it. I think it's Easter's version of candy corn.

With all the weird weather going on in other states, it's a good time to remind everyone to have a small survival kit ready.

It doesn't have to be anything fancy. Flashlight, batteries, candles, matches, bottled water, non-perishable food and first aid supplies would be enough.

I'm tired of waking up feeling just as exhausted as I was when I went to bed the night before. I'm done wishing for my Dreams to be less exciting though. Especially after this last one - Eren's titan form was able to get the boulder in position in front of the hole in the wall. And then while I'm trying to get his human body free from his Titan form we almost get killed by two other Titans before we get rescued by the captain of the Squad Eren wants to join just in time. But that doesn't mean we're out of the woods.

Despite the fact that Eren saved everyone he's put on trial because of the fact that he can turn into a Titan but Levi, the Captain who rescued us, and his Commander was able to help convince the Court to let Eren join his Squad under his control. And of course Mikasa and I volunteer to join the Squad too.

I think things are going to get a lot worse for us before they start getting better there.

Sorry, just because I'm not in culinary school and only do this part time doesn't mean I don't know what the fuck I am doing! But apparently the new shift manager at the bakery thinks otherwise. I've only been doing this since I got my learners permit when I was fifteen, you know? Maybe that means I know more about the day to day stuff.

We had some eggs that go out of date tomorrow, and as always, I was cracking them in the sink to wash the yolks down. Because if you just dump the entire thing in the compactor, it's going to stink. But I was apparently wasting time, goofing off, and should just throw it in there to get it over with. And we got into it until I finally did what I was asked. And predictably, they curdled in there because the kitchen stays freaking warm. Somehow this is my fault.

I'm just. I'm doing this for extra money, this isn't what I want to do with my life. My first job IS. I don't need this stress.

[Armin]

Don't worry. I haven't done anything rash. I mean, not yet anyway. I'm slowly being driven there. But I know it's something I'd need to talk to you about first. I could find another part time job, or do door dash, maybe write some freelance articles on the side. Or. We could sit down and see if what I make at the newspaper would be enough for us if we slow down on spending on some things. I just. I need out of there.

Whoever they are they've been beating me senseless for 10 hours.

Also, dream me is a kinky son of a bitch. That's just... weird. Dream me is also of the mind that no one will give a shit about me and won't come to get me and/or find me.

Ben's a ghost. I hate Ben being a ghost! There's also a ghost there in the room with me and my torturers. Some Russian lady.

(Dream me is also having a fit that the bad guys are destroying his drugs.)

Ben keeps telling me to be strong.

Also, that sucks! It showed me when I was younger. Dad had left me in a mausoleum or something, in the dark for WAY too long. "Have you mastered your fear of the dead, Number Four?" (This only came about because I was trapped in a damn closet while the bad guys were gone for hours. Pretty sure he's also going through withdrawal but it's mainly the claustrophobia)

Dream me is sober. So, I can see the ghosts better. Talking to a Zoya, who was a victim of my kidnappers.

Their names are Hazel and Ca-Ca.

Shit. Diego, I'm sorry!

Also, WHAT THE HELL WAS IN THAT BRIEFCASE, IT ZAPPED ME... SOMEWHERE! (Also, the lady on the bus was oogling Dream!me, but then again, I was still only in a towel.)

You'd think by now I'd be used to the weird terror that my Dreams always have me waking up with. At least this time Eren was already home so I was able to immediately reassure myself that he wasn't in that weird fugue state that he got stuck with in the Dreams. He was supposed to be using his Titan form to move a boulder to block a hole in the wall when he just...ended up incapacitating himself. I don't know what happened but when I made my way across the city to him he was just in some type of trance and I...did the only thing I could think of to get his attention. I stabbed him in the shoulder and reminded that he had promised to defeat the Titans, to kill them all. And then about the promise he'd made me to explore the world outside the wall. To go see the ocean.

I have never been in love like this in reality, but makes it possible here though, right?

Nothing like waking up with a bed full of swamp. Bernie and I both had to shower twice to get the smell off us

...I guess I just going to throw the sheets and mattress out. I honestly haven't a clue how to clean swamp out of them.


Sorry V, just stay out of my room till I can sort it out. We won't drag it all over the house, promise!

Do you remember when you were a kid and you kept begging your parents for more money so you could keep playing skee ball so you could earn more tickets for cheap toys, and they told you it was time to go because they were tired of eating bad pizza while you ran around with the energy only an eight year old high on pixie sticks has? Do you ever look back and wish you knew how to bypass the bad pizza and electronic rat to buy those toys outright?

Apparently at one point I found where to order them and bought a present for myself that I completely forgot about, and came home today to a box of 100 glow in the dark alien toys. Which, alright they're cute. I just don't know why I have them. We're going to keep a few of them, but does anyone want the rest? Maybe someone who owns a gumball machine or something? Or teachers looking for prizes to give out to students, too.

There always has to be that one news story that just makes the rest of them such right? Todays was that when the current agreement with China regarding their panda diplomacy program with the National Zoo expires in three years it is not going to be renewed. Xian Xian, Mei Xiang and Tian Tian will be returning to China and there's no plans to send a new pair.

I'm hoping that this changes before the three years is up otherwise....this will be the first time in decades we haven't had pandas there. The last time was in 99 when the previous pair passed away and then China sent Mei Xiang and Tian Tian.

So in my dream last night, I got a phone call from my dad. Which, you know. Cool, cause we've been looking for him. He's in California, hunting the demon that killed my mom. I wanted to go to California to find him and help him, Dean insisted on going to Indiana to work the job he had found for us. So I got out of the car, Dean called me a selfish prick, and he went on to Indiana while I went to the bus station to go on to California. But then I talked to Dean and there was something going down in Indiana, and later when I couldn't reach him, I went to find him, and good thing I did. He was in an apple orchard where a Pagan God inhabited a scarecrow that demanded a sacrifice every year and the people who ran the town arranged for the sacrifice year after year. Dean interrupted the one for that year, and so they were intent on sacrificing him. Naturally, I saved him, and we left town after that.

I took Livvy out for dinner tonight and we were driving home when she asked me if I could record my voice on one of those build-a-bear hearts next time we go.

I told her that of course I would, thinking that she wanted it for comfort or whatever.

She responds with "Sweet because we're going to put that inside you when you die and fill you full of stuffing."

She said we so that means she's run this idea by someone else who has agreed on this idea.

I'm not sure if I'm supposed to be honoured or really worried that my kid might be a psychopath.

So... donating blood for money. Dream me is completely jobless.

Got into a fight with a guy named Tommy. Had him pick a fight with me instead of his... girlfriend, I guess she was. A girlfriend who happens to be my best friend. Susan is her name.

Dylan is so much older in the dreams than what I'm used to. Her dad is a piece of crap in the dreams. Luckily, it's not Axel in the dreams.

Went to find Dylan so I could cheer her up, since her dad ditched her on her birthday for some random chick, and this volcano stuff.

Also, I'm glad that she was hiding when the intruder came in. Or, had been. Fuck. This dream shit is crazy. And the intruder killed me. Dylan was there.

Really? All of this shit is crazy.

I know that this is California, and under normal circimstances she won't need one. But this is also Orange County, and it never hurts to be prepared. Does anyone know where I can get cat sized sweaters? I know they make them for dogs, in fact I think I saw Ziggy hiding when Will mentioned them. But if we have a weird cold snap, my little house goblin will actually need one since she's hairless. And I just want to have them on hand before winter gets here.

So I'm pretty sure that the bakery Eren works at is about to ban me from coming in to hangout while waiting for Eren to get off. I try not to get in the way of them doing their jobs, get my brownie and cocoa and go sit at a table with my books to study while I wait. But today I just couldn't keep my mouth shut when I heard this woman going off on the cashier for repeating her order back to her. It's not incompetence. It's not being unable to do her job. It's wanting to be thorough and make sure she got it right since you couldn't be bothered to get off your damn phone while placing it.

[Eren Jaeger]

If they do ban me you'll just bring my brownie to the car right?

I missed part of Halloween because of the OC being the OC, and I'm still trying to buy our kids' love back with treats. Now I'm having to spend election night sober while we all await the results, because somehow a newspaper actually mistook me for an actual responsible adult and gave me a job. So... I'm not having that great of a time right now. Armin's getting stoned for both of us. Which is weirdly comforting in a way. I might be stressed, but at least he doesn't have to be as stressed?

Just hoping the country has more sense than it did in 2016.

So historians have discovered that one of the most popular names in medieval times was Aelfgiftu - which translates to Elfgift. And when looking further into it they discovered that the most popular times for this name coincided with wars and military campaigns. Especially closer to the end of them. So while today the explanation for unexplained pregnancies while husbands are away on long business trips seems to be aliens, historically it was blamed on the various fae groups.

"Lime is sus, he's just running around" Lime is running around because he's done with his tasks and is trying not to get murdered for standing in electric too long, but sure vote me out. Or better yet don't call emergency meetings for stupid reasons so we can win this round? Unless you're the imposter, that is.

So yeah, I've gotten hooked on this game while I wait to pick Armin up.

The last time I saw anyone angerclean was back in 8th grade when Mom saw my F in pre-algebra. But the past few days have been a weird trip down memory lane because that's what Alice is doing with her post break-up energy. She's getting rid of so much stuff, and I'm not sure if that's a good or a bad thing. I've never seen her closet have this much room in it before? But she's got four huge boxes of things to donate to charity. And I've lost track of just how much stuff we've been taking pictures of for her to list on LaceMarket.

Moving across country is a feat! Everyone told me to give up my books and join this century with e-books, but no, thank you. I've had some of these books since I was a little girl. You can't get the smell of an old book through an IPAD. However, lugging them across country? Not so easy.

I'm May Parker. How is everyone today?

More dreams within a dream. I'm starting to earn my place with the carnival. They call me a Roustabout. I do whatever odd jobs need to be done, and at night when the jobs and chores are finished till morning, I get to sleep on the ground under one of the trucks. Jonesy sent me to the baggage trailer, apparently it's supposed to be some kind of wild goose chase initiation thing, because it's not supposed to exist. But I found it, and I went inside. The first trunk I opened had the hat and coat one of the men in my dream-in-a-dream was wearing. There was also a picture of my ma in a cigar box and I kept it. Samson tried to take it, but I wouldn't let him have it. Found out she was Henry Scutter's girl, and when Ruthie showed me a picture of him, I recognised him from my dreams. The hat and the coat in the trunk where I found the picture belonged to him.

I took Samson to where the baggage trailer was, but it wasn't there. I have no explanation for that, because I know I was in there. I'd been inside it. But he insisted there was no baggage trailer, that Jonesy was messing with me by sending me to clean it out. Later, Sophie's mom came to me and said "You're the one" and then she passed out. She's in some kind of trance, she can't move or talk or anything, and Sophie thought I'd taken her from their trailer, but I didn't touch her. And I don't know what she meant when she said I'm the one. I'm the...what?

My dream life is getting more intense, and more confusing. I don't think I like it.

I guess I shouldn't of mentioned not dreaming. Also looks like I know where I'm from and that Andy is definitely short for something. Though, that something is definitely a doozy and I think I'll stick with Andy instead.

Also, tribes? Really?

So, I might just forgo my writing for a bit. Most of my writing requires quite a bit of research and I just don't have the drive for that right now. I know there's friends I can ask, but I just can't.

Which means trying to find things to do because walking with this damn thing is painful and I just... need something.

I'm sure I'll find something else to preoccupy my mind. Or use old research, but anything new isn't bound to happen.

I'm adding Eren as a passenger to the list of conditions that I will not drive under ever again. On the way back from our honeymoon today I was driving to give him a break behind the wheel and we got cut off by somebody who came really close to hitting our front end. My grown adult, college graduate husband rolled his window down, leaned his head out and shouted at the other driver that they should go 'choke on a bag of dicks'. The future of journalism ladies and gentlemen.

The things you find out about someone the month before your wedding. Eren who is a horror movie nut to the point of we have a tv in our bedroom for when he's watching his movies in the living room - has never seen The Mummy. Which is the one horror movie I've watched all the way through and actually enjoy watching.

And made me realize that my interest in archaeology and ancient societies wasn't just a side effect of my massive crush on Harrison Ford. I mean that's a part of it but not the main reason my interest in them stayed.

Could someone please explain people to me? Part of my closing tasks at the end of the night is cleaning the restroom. Which isn't a job anyone really likes to do, but has to be done. I've seen my share of weird things, like the one time I went in and someone completely TPed the bathroom (just. why?)

Last night, though, I went in and someone took the lining out of the trash can and filled it with empty packages that look like they were from the game shop a couple of doors down. And poured what looks like an entire energy drink out on top of it all. I... what? What was even the reason for any of that? Did they think a can of red bull was going to destroy the evidence for them?

Not fun when you dream about one of your best friends dying and then you immediately can't tell if it's real or not so you wake them up super early to check and make sure you're alive.

Her whole death is really suspicious and I really hope it was one big accident. Also doesn't help that then everyone graduated and left me behind. But in good news I bought a bar in the dreams because they fired my mother and I'm all about karma.

Almost wish that bar was here so I could give myself all the free tequila.

I think I've joined the dreaming club.

Now, I wish I was some cool superhero or bad ass spy, but nope I get a lovely dystopian North America to live in. Basically at some point the world collapsed, a sovereign state was created, there's a Capitol and then the rest of North America is split into 13 districts based on what services that area can give the Capitol. Total dictatorship and we all bow down to the Capitol.

Well, apparently 74 years ago the districts tried to rise up and overthrow the Capitol. Unfortunately they lost and now there's this lovely thing called the Hunger Games were 1 boy and 1 girl from each district fight to the death with only one winner. Really lovely.

It's kind of frightening watching yourself grow up in a mining district, people being whipped or executed for stupid things, and just trying to survive. Luckily my family owns a bakery, but my mom's also totally abusive in these dreams which is just slightly disconcerting when you wake up in this world and she's the nicest person ever.

Really not excited for these dreams. Can I get a do-over?
