The fire alarm went off all night and all morning, glitching on and off every hour and it is VERY LOUD. My poor animals. I built a fort in the bathtub for them where all four of us mammals huddled together like refugees, the whites of their eyes bugging out in fear, while I did my best to keep my little family comfortable.
In all my years living here, never once has there been a real fire. Sure enough it turned out to be another false alarm. Grateful we didn't incinerate.
Good thing I took two naps yesterday and meditated twice before bed, once for myself, and once for all the dudes in the world who don't think they need to work on themselves but with whom I still have to coexist with.
An impromptu illegal fireworks display over a neighboring building woke me last night too, but I don't mind those. They're short and pretty and are like a mini celebration delivered right to my window.
Sirens have also been way more frequent lately. Either Putin set off a butterfly effect of chaos into the world, or testosterone is rising as spring approaches. Pharmaceuticals should be marketed to men to calm those energetic motherfuckers down. Get these men some estrogen stat so we can have peace on earth.
I had a nightmare that a man in a parking lot was yelling at me and threatening me. But the alarms woke me from the nightmare. I'm drinking extra caffeine to make up for sleep deprivation and hopefully will not be an anxious jittery nutcase today.
My ex is coming over to have breakfast together because tomorrow he has to go to his multigenerational family's house which is rife with covid risk, and he is currently my only safe pod person to be maskless indoors with. I'm grateful to have at least one stable person around to meet my social needs, and my animals love him, and he does my dishes for me which is all I need in life really.
