She's a good little angry potato of a lizard, but like most lizards she doesn't bond with other creatures socially and now that I give her oral medication every day I'm more The Enemy than I used to be.

I still think she probably likes me better than everyone else, but that's not saying a lot. XD

I need to start food bribing her after each medication session. I don't know if it'll help, but it's worth a shot. Being burrito'ed and given oral meds = bell peppers after seems promising.

I've also been considering trying to switch my bed and squat rack between the rooms they're currently in, so I'm in a different room than Jabberwocky's enclosure.

I can handle the heat okay, but it's not ideal, and I don't want to make my girlfriend have to deal with it when she sleeps over.

I would feel a little weird about Jabberwocky being in a room I wouldn't frequent as much. But I'm sure she'd just be like "this *rules* the human's gone."

On the unabashed plus side, apparently the podcast had made her, multiple times, burst out laughing so hard in public people gave her looks.

So that's pretty rad.

Also I might have to work for the next bit to keep making lewd jokes now that I know my Mom's listening. I believe in myself!

It helps that I know my Mom is Cool, or at least cool enough she definitely wouldn't want or expect me to adjust my humor for her sake.

I'm trying to avoid my AC this summer, because it's going to eat electricity and I know that plus AC units in general (I think their disposal) isn't great for the environment.

But I don't know how long I'll be able to hold out on that. It seems a waste to already own one and not use it, and things might simply get too hot.

For now I'll lean on my stubborn heat-coping pride from growing up in the California Central Valley. XD

It's also going to be fucking hot today and this will let me make sure things are set up properly to get my fan up in the window. At least, I hope. The wall outlet there is super loose and temperamental, so I currently have the surge protector hooked into the top slot, because it's a little tighter. But that makes the cable block the bottom slot, and I need both available so I can use one for the fan.

This is also b/c I might swap in my AC unit there at some point.

My friend is slowly becoming Pretty Late for our board game night.

I'm doing my best to be patient with it, a) because it hasn't been that long yet, and b) I'm late *constantly* and like this beautiful glass house I live in to be intact

Apologies for when I suddenly reply to posts of y'all's that are days old. For whatever reason recently when I go into the web version of Mastodon for the first time in a while, it goes and shows posts from days ago and only fetches recent ones as they come in. Which I usually don't catch/remember until I've responded to a few things. >.<
