Today was...something. The thing with the password earlier happened, when Karu was at the wheel, and Aether and Fuwa had Opinions about password management rules are clearly made for singlets/people without memory problems. And there was something on tv that ended up triggering* me, so Aelita showed up. And made sure we ate SOMETHING for dinner.
I felt bad that today was so gestures at everything and how I don't understand how people can support other humans or pets. And then I saw the vase of cut flowers that are mostly dead (they've been around since before Christmas) so I should probably Do Something About That. And, man! What a mess I am if I can't even keep (cut, so already dying) flowers alive! And Aelita said it's okay, because taking care of me/us is the most important thing, and they're just flowers I bought for a couple bucks at Trader Joes.
But still, I could tell she was sad. 'Cause the plants are really Her Thing (I have 2 herbs in the kitchen window and some succulents in my bedroom and some more at the office) and my apartment really isn't set up for a lot of light, so I'm limited in what I can grow, but she (and I'm sure at least some of the others) like having flowers. So it's a for them thing, to show that I'm actually thinking about them and doing things just for them. idk why I'm getting so bent out of shape about this! I should get more when I go to the store after work tomorrow. Then I'll stop feeling bad about it.

- The things that trigger me are...really specific. And I don't even know they're triggers until they happen. Like I didn't know one of my past employers doing pride stuff was triggering until I encountered that, and how do you possibly tag for that? Or they're IRL only things (like leaving the cabinets open). So you don't have to worry about trigger tagging things for me. The only more "general" thing that's upsetting (and can happen online) is irl pictures of gore which...well, I imagine most people don't want to see that. So I imagine you're tagging that, anyways.
