So occasionally I dye my hair. Recently went a darkish fuschia. Have never gone blonde, have never desired to go blonde.
Had a disgusting unhoused patron who always stinks like dried piss and thinks he's God's gift to women tell me to never go blonde.

Am seriously considering going blonde...

anyone got any advice on how to apply eyedrops w/o the use of a mirror
going fucking nuts bc i have to apply one of these 6x a day

Lay on your back and close your eyes. Hold the tip of the dropper above the inner corner of your eye. If you're off a little bit, the shape of your face will let gravity pull the drop down into place. Then open your eyes and blink a lot.

If you've got something to lean on for balance, you can probably tip your head far enough back to get the same effect while standing or sitting.

figured out a way to do it by placing a finger on my upper lid and aligning the dropper with my eyelashes while using another finger to pull my lower eyelid down.


ty for the advice, though, coda. it'll probably help someone else.


i inherited my dad's rosacea and somehow it affects my fucking eyes / eyelids. awful.

Thank you Coda! I have to put in eye drops twice a day now and I basically do it until I taste it bc I can't tell if they're in :')

Just a huge shout out to the plumber/maintenance person who is finishing up with fixing my bathtub faucet leak. (Which turned into a much bigger fix that involved fully tearing out the wall and rebuilding stuff.) They weren't able to fully finish today and I got home to a vicegrip attached to a piece of the exposed plumbing stuff...idk the term for the bit, and a very kind note explaining that I can take a bath (but no shower yet), and instructions on how far to turn the vicegrip to get hot water.

He was also the one of the five total plumbing professionals I'd seen in total that was the nicest to my cats, he just laughed off Batty acting tough and hissing at him and actually got a kick out of Shade, who kept going in to check up on him and wasn't even scared of the big shop vac.

i have covid, and my laptop just decided to crash itself. it seems as though everything is possessed by mildly discontented spirits of horses in this behavioural contest of what is incredibly stupid!

I am trying to recover mental energy. Maybe browsing this forum will help with that. Maybe it won't. But I would like if it did.

Really hoping my friend still has the page layout he was working on for a possible adventure book for Derpy because I want to upgrade my instax mini camera (er...buy a new and better one) for this year and actually start physically documenting stuff and I recall liking the design layout he'd made for it and would like to maybe modify the colors a bit then buy some lightweight card stock and run some test prints.
...and then see about getting some art for custom covers for the book (gonna do just a simple disc-bound set-up for it).
Woo!

shower doesn't work here.
what a shit day.

Aaaaahhhh, why do I always misplace stuff? Really hope I can find the misc jumprings container and that I have like...6 of the pink I need because it's looking like the company I bought them from isn't gonna re-stock that color (I've been waiting like 6+ months so far) and none of the other pinks from other brands match or are close enough to get away with. xP
And I'm already far enough in the project that re-doing it with a different pink, while not impossible, would be annoying af because it's basically finished minus the 6 pink rings I need.
