Cat parent tip:
The temptations lickables (or Churro treats) are great for giving pills. I put a blob on the pill, poke it down the throat, then put a bit more on the cat's lips, and the cat swallows the pill. There's plenty of treat left to give before and after the pill and there hasn't been much of a struggle.
We've got about three more days of twice daily pills for Biggest Boi and then that should be all done.
Awkward #introduction post, go!
Please call me Kai or Mimicry. I live in #Ottawa and am currently a full-time #catparent and #geek . I'm #queer & #nonbinary (they/he). I also live with #chronicpain and am #neurodivergent . #INFP .
My hobbies include #digitalart , #cosplay and casual #gaming .
Former ESL teacher in #Japan -- best experience! Yes, I like #anime and 自分の #日本語 はさびちゃって… Currently interested in #Thai language.
I wanted to take another stab at an #introduction.
"We are all different people, all through our lives and that's okay. That's good. You've got to keep moving—just so long as you remember all of the people that you used to be."
I have been a:
#manager for a number of years at a couple of business: #DevOps at Heroku and owner of #SRE for Trust at a little business called LinkedIn.
#PsychologicalSafety hipster, grappling with the concept before the phrase entered the zeitgeist
#CraftPerson, striving always to produce more maintainable and readable #software
#idealist inspired early in life by #startrek, forever hoping to move the world closer to that post-scarcity utopia whose margin fades forever and forever when I move.
#ThoughtLeader, self-conscious for wanting so much to make a difference and chock full of #ImpostorSyndrome, creating and running a yearly 3-night #OpenSpaceTechnology summer camp for Ruby developers for about 10 years
shin shin toitsu #aikido practitioner, how I first learned to #meditate 33 years ago.
#teacher of #meditation, #EmotionalIntelligence, and #leadership skills, decades later.
#CatParent to 4... er.... now 5 cats. This is getting out of hand.
#husband and #caregiver to a wife with #HuntingtonsDisease for 10 years until her passing.
#husband, again, 4 years after my first wife's passing—later finding true belonging and peace for the first time in my adult life.
#human who uncomfortably yet eagerly accepts the lessons the world present to him.
"To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield."
Okay, an #introduction. Who am I...
Superficially, I am a middle-aged white cis-gender woman. Under the surface... it's complicated.
I am an artist that struggles to make art. I suffer from chronic migraines and joint pain. I suffer from depression and anxiety, for which I am thankfully medicated. I've discovered I most likely have ADHD and may be autistic (though I'm not yet comfortable self-diagnosing out of respect for those who are #actuallyautistic). I am asexual/demisexual and "pan-appreciative" (I can appreciate the attractiveness of all peoples, but I just don't feel sexual desire for them).
I love most things paranormal, supernatural, and "new age" because I desperately want there to be more to life than this mundane, soul-crushing reality. I'm an off-an-on avid reader, enjoying urban fantasy, sci-fi, high fantasy, police procedurals, cozy mysteries... I like a lot of different genres. Tell a good story and I'm into it. I love planners and bullet journaling, but I have yet to find planner peace.
I am fascinated by Forensic Science and Neuroscience and was in school continuing my education in those topics until recently. Unfortunately, health issues and financial circumstances have put that on hold for now. But I still love the topics.
I can probably think of more, but this already feels like a lot. Ask me anything though, if you're genuinely interested I'm pretty much an open book. :)
