Well, I'm not really creative so I just went with something easy. CVT because I am a certified veterinary technician. GRRL as a throwback to the Riot Grrl days, granted I wasn't old enough to be an original Riot Grrl but my best friend told me I always reminded him of one. And SHAN because it is the shortened version of my first name. And...

@wurkingclass you aren't the first person to think that's what it meant ๐Ÿ˜‚

So as many of you know, I broke up with my ex about 6 months ago. We remain roommates and things are going fair. The other day I had an argument with him, not bad, just more of making him realize things. I told him how torn I felt about bringing someone over to the house, not that it's happening, but for when it does....

@etxphonexhome @amberetta @littlejohn22, definitely not going to let anything keep me from living how I want. I was trying to ease him into it. And it is a good idea to make a contract. He copes with things in a bad way so when shit bothers him he just internalizes it all and I'm a tell me all your feels and get them out kinda gal. It's always been something we clashed on, I push him to tell me his feelings, that he'd feel better. I digress, it will hopefully blow over, he will adjust.

You gotta live and he has got to get over it. A contract, a good solid legal one making him a tenant and not a buddy renting a room, is necessary.ย

Welp, work was super busy today. I wrestled a big dog who trampled me in the process. The rest was just the typical monotony of the day. I only took a 20 minute break, which was just enough time to run to DD for more coffee. I'm on antibiotics and supposed to be drinking water, not coffee because it can dehydrate me...but....COFFEE!

I was able...

When a 112# Cane Corso Mastiff steps all over you whilst you wrestle him by yourself, then when you go to the bathroom a few hours later you see bruises all over your thighs. I gotta look cute and sexy but that's difficult when your legs have purple bruises on them ๐Ÿ˜•๐Ÿ˜‘

@cvtgrrl_shan is lying to you. I saw the bruises in question, they were very pretty. And @amberetta I don't think that's weird at all, that fascinates me too!

Bruises are hot!

As much as I wanted to I will not be putting the final coat of paint on the walls in my livingroom today.

It's 4pm, I haven't showered yet, so that's what I am doing. I dislike the negative mojo I've been carrying around today, especially when I've been so positive lately ๐Ÿ˜€ so, a nice warm shower, some fresh clothes, and cooking a yummy...

I like your approach. Always good to evaluate your mental state and take some time for comfort if you need it. Hopefully you feel better tomorrow

I hope the early bedtime works well for youย

Thanks everyone for their kind words ๐Ÿค—

Duke's growth is a lipoma, benign fatty tumor. I will not do surgery. It's an elective, cosmetic procedure at this point.

His bloodwork was fairly quiet. Only abnormalities are a kidney value is still creeping up and his urine was dilute. Not surprising to me as I already knew they would because of his kidney disease.

I'm relieved...

I found a tumor on Duke [my dog]. It's bigger than a golf ball in size. I never noticed it because it is close to his inner thigh and all his floof masks it. I discovered it while brushing him. He's not a belly rub kind of dog, otherwise I may have noticed it sooner.

I'm not going to freak out about it because it...
