Cruelty-free beck~

Woke up in a mad mood.

Got to Dialysis this morning. Did not gripe. Did not fight the process. Didn’t put sternly worded suggestions in the suggestion box.

Altho’ I wanted to say “is any one reading these?” I resisted.

Didn’t report the tech for being a tad assy. And, having to stop and put on her gloves. Rookie mistake. I’ll give her a couple more chances. She might be having a bad day.

Hey, I’m just tryna stay alive here.

I try to be nice about it.

Some Mondays it’s very hard.

I insist on having a decent day, dispute all this.

I just gotta get thru the ride home. (I cannot make y’all understand how hard that is. I’ve driven forever. Always enjoyed that bit of freedom. Now I’m not _safe_ to drive. And Ivy is so so sloooooooooow..!)

❤from Monday morning me, beck

After detailing your love of all things cherry?

ETA: I’ve always thought Beck should have a thread to post her random thoughts and (mis-)adventures.  
(Hey, I’d read it…)  
But it looks like this thread has turned into that.

Am I the only one who’s getting a vibe that **Beck** is low-key trolling the thread by making posts that look like they’re straight off her FB page?

If I’m right, well played, **Beck**.

Nothing low key about this. This is strait up burying criticism of her behavior by spamming this thread.

Reach over and press her right knee down hard. In the meantime keep an eye out for yard sales, then yell BRAKE!

My DIL was dropping her littles off to swim school. Walking back to her vehicle a crow dive bombed her.

It actually attacked. She got a peck on the cheek (💋) and one on the shoulder and scratched. Went to urgent care. They sent her to ER.

She may have to get rabies shots.

They’re determining whether.

We are all _discussing,_ Many many, too many mouths, too many words spoken to me.

I looked on Google told her to call her own doctor about whether she needs the post exposure prophylaxis. My input was considered and taken. She’s there now.

No rabies shots. Doctor told her birds don’t have it. Only mammals.

We are happy about that.

I don’t know what it is with these crows around here. Meanie heads.

They especially hate Son-of-a-wrek.

They get in his truck bed. And caw at him. He tells me loads of horror tales. Long-winded, that boy is.

\*\*\*\*

In other news the twins have passed their swim certificate. They are now Sunfish. They had McNuggets for lunch.

Oh, I got home from the long long drive @chela. She was kinda quicker today.

Petting the garage cats at the moment.

🐾 Jojo says 👋 hey!

Thanks, @digs .

This is the worst kind of performance art I’ve ever witnessed. Get a fucking blog! Continue to start your own threads with “Bad bad bad” titles as a warning, or any other inane titles you give them (whenever I see a non-descriptive, puzzling and confusing thread title, I mostly always know who posted it). But don’t spread your fucking fluff in your own fucking Pit thread!

Yeah, I’m not sure what she’s trying to accomplish. Piss off anyone on the fence about her?

Up to now, I hadn’t set her to ignore. She annoys me at times, but I still appreciate some of her contributions. But this performance pushed me over the edge. Good job, I guess.
