Well all, the work week is finally over [kind of]. I still work Saturday. Tonight I went and saw IT, splurged and got tickets for the earlier show but on the big ultra screen with crazy good surround sound. Was awesome! I actually jumped a few times and was startled. Afterwards, the roomie and I went to dinner. We had pizza.

I'm so ready for

Yeah? @dracolamia it's off 143rd and Cicero in Crestwood. Kind of pricey but good.

Blog homework: an album everyone should listen to

25

It hard choosing one. I have such a diverse taste in music and there are so many amazing albums out there that should be listened to on repeat. But, I'll go with what I am familiar with and it is an album that has had a large impact on my life.

The Fragile by Nine Inch Nails

It is a great mix of the heavy...

@thewindowkeeper Melon Collie is a super close second. That album is very special to me, got me through high school.

@cvtgrrl_shan I'm not going to lie, it's getting me through a lot right now. I completely understand.

Happy Solar Eclipse

So busy today! I went to work crabby. I spent all morning hunched over doing dental cleanings then we had a quick surgery. Booked with appointments to boot. I managed to take a 20 minute break. Enough time to drink my coffee and take a few breaths, catch up on texts and social media.

While taking xrays on a sedated dog that happened to be...

I had a Caterpillar drop on my neck once that was decidedly disgusting especially when it squished as I wiped it off :(

Energetic (frantic) emergency de-spidering would have become the immediate priority.

How I chose my SG name

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.

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.

@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.
