Cool :3

I'm on break now. There's a problem customer due to a cell phone company taking their timec activating his phone on their end :/

[Chocofreak13]

at least this guy MIGHT be sympathetic...?

[Nichi]

IDK how it ended, but given that I heard that he went down the toy aisle and began throwing stuff off of the shelves in rage over his phone taking so long to activate, likely not :\

[Bella]

What was he, like six years old?

Also I'm surprised he didn't get kicked out for that.

[Nichi]

Just another 50+ year old manchild :\

[Bella]

Bleeeeeh.


It's two fucking AM which means it's time for Luci to go into conniptions. This fucking dog is fine all day but the moment I get ready to go to bed she won't stop pacing around and panting. Last night that little shit kept me up until 5AM. Not even the slightest idea why she's acting like this. It's like she's a laser-guided missile come to completely blow up any chance I have of sleeping.

[Nichi]

Mmm :\

I honestly didn't want to get up this morning; didn't help I had really bad leg cramps, forcing me to get up >>;;
(Leg cramps might be a sign pointing toward leaving Wal-Mart; I woke up with near-constant leg cramps back when I was juggling that 2nd job at the hospital)

[Bella]

I think leg cramps are often caused by dehydration + lots of standing (my dad gets them all the time), drink more water/gatorade when you're on the job to help prevent them.

Also I've seen anti-leg-cramping medicine but idk how it works.

Dogs do that. You have a decent CO and explosive gas detector in the house?

How about earthquake warnings?

Severe storms?

Dogs are fairly well documented to react to dangers that the human senses cannot percieve without specialized equipment. Perhaps she's trying to tell you something.

[Bella]

Oh .... shit. I actually hadn't thought about any of that. Luci flips her lid every time she hears thunder, gunshots, fireworks, jets flying overhead and the like, but I haven't heard any of those things. She seems to be persistently freaked out but only around bedtime and throughout the night and until I get out of bed in the morning. It's very strange.

The only thing I can think is, she usually sleeps at the foot of my father's bed and my he's gone away on work. I think she misses him/is afraid he left her ... she doesn't like me as much as him. That said, she's never acted like this when he'd been gone in the past — at least not to this level of severity.

[Nichi]

I hope everything is fine :[

Also, I think it's not just dehydration, but likely stress as well. Or perhaps the stress is causing the dehydration :\

[Chocofreak13]

if he's been gone for longer, maybe that's the cause. fern freaked out at first when my parents left for 2 weeks, but eventually she warmed up to me and the others in the house, so she was just desperate for contact, regardless of who it was.

@pent: heavy lifting can cause arthritis, which my mum attributed to leg cramps at first. that said, you seem a bit young for that.....but stranger things have happened. if it persists, try taking some aleve (it really IS the best for arthritis) and drink plenty of fluids.

unrelated to everything else going on, but i think it was mentioned outside the site once or twice. is anyone else watching Halt and Catch Fire, on AMC? i'm really enjoying it thus far. :0

also, updated the town list to add one more i forgot. 31 towns in 10 days~

[Nichi]

@Kari: True that, although I'm not doing too much heavy lifting compared to that second job at the hospital; I think it's likely caused by stress. After all, I'm on my feet all day minus a few breaks here and there, and it does get a bit warm in that department. Last Sunday, I felt like I was going to collapse as I walked to the van, because I was so worn out :\

Also, I want to watch that show so bad, but it's always on when I'm at work ;_;

[Chocofreak13]

it's too bad you don't have on demand, as that's how i've been catching it. wonder if you could find an illegal stream online? :\

[Nichi]

Indeed; as far as I can tell, the only on-demand Dish Network offers is for movies :\
(Truth be told, I haven't really been excited about the new season of Doctor Who, because I know I'm going to miss it because I'll be at work ;_; )
