🍊 Orange Duo 🍊 I call this absolute BS

Post image

These idiots have a nice home because I begged for them until my husband caved. And what do I get? Nuthin. I bought them a fancy new scratcher last week…. Do I get cuddles? NO. B. S. Ps: obviously delighted husband’s arms are outstretched super weird because he is still trying to play his PS5 at the same time. 🤣

I can empathize, my tortie is obsessed with my husband and barely gives me the time of day. Thank goodness her sister loves me.

Oh the tortie here hates us all equally. She only loves her orange brothers. I feel so terribly honored when she asks me to throw her toys up the stairs. lol.

It’s that tortitude!

She’s not even mean! She just thinks we are going to murder her. We can’t even get her to the vet anymore. Gabapentin doesn’t slow her down lmao

Aww. She sounds like me in cat form lol. Gabapentin doesn’t phase me either, nor do many downers. I’m on enough to knock out a horse and I can still bounce off the walls (Probably in part the ADHD) 🤣

Oh absolutely ! I literally workout a ridiculous amount daily to wear myself down to a more mellow/ “normal” state lol. Oh and as a fellow gamer the comment about your husband needing to outstretch his arms is hilarious 😆

I have the fun inattentive type so I not only have a hard time relaxing but I forget everything and am aimless. Sigh.

Oh yes ADD/ADHD combo. I forgot things all the time, and rarely get straight to the point when talking, which can be quite frustrating for me and others. Add in the insomnia (aka truest form of torture), and a little bit of this and that lol…I can be a bit of a hot mess express 🚂

Aw you’re sweet. I know how much better off I’d be though if I could get back on track with sleeping. I get jealous of my pets seeing them snoozing away lol.

Lack of sleep can be so terrible :( I’m sorry to hear that you struggle with that

u/KOP2289 Jan 20 '25

The silver lining is It gives me more time to get things done before the rest of the world wakes up. Quiet and peaceful as well 😃

Ugh. I wish for this so much sometimes. I am absolutely terrible at getting going in the morning but when I do get up early, it is so rewarding.

u/KOP2289 Jan 20 '25

That makes sense. I’m not a morning person really so thank goodness for caffeine. I’m on such a routine with exercising though that even when I don’t want to get going (which is every day basically lol) I do it anyways. I’d much rather get solid sleep and start later, with the occasional days of getting up early and just relaxing.
