#she's scared

The fireworks have started already so I put Petey in her Thundercoat....

She then, jumped behind me to hide. That wasn't enough to make her feel safe so she decided to sit on me...

It was becoming a bit of a challenge to breathe, with a 70 pound lap dog sitting on my chest, so I gave her some CBD and a little bit of melatonin. I, also, scratch her ears every time I hear the start of some loud noise, which calms her down. That and my turning up the volume,on the TV, seemed to help her a lot because, now, she's all spaced out, laying on the bed, ensconced in the blankets, and she's very relaxed and not bothered by anything, at all, anymore. I didn't even have to put her noise canceling headphones on her head. I'll use them tomorrow.

I looked out my front door to see who was causing all this noise, and I found my 70+ year old neighbors outside blowing things up!! I did not expect that, but they're having a blast so I'm happy for them!!

I hope my car is okay out there.🤣🤣🤣 Petey is, happily, watching TV in our bed, now, so she's good to go!! I know that these neighbors of mine will adhere to the curfew for lighting fireworks so we only have 25 more minutes to go!! At least, I hope that they do 🙏🏼🥳🎉🎊🎇🧨🎆💥

All the noise has stopped on schedule. I love that!! ❤️ I took off Petey's thundercoat, and she's all perky. We just went outside!! She's doing very well, this year. It's amazing the calming effect that coat has on her. By gently squeezing her body, it slows down the flow of blood, therefore, lowering her blood pressure and calming her down. I do the same thing with people who are having an anxiety attack. I just hug them, as tight as I can, for as long as they will let me, and they calm down from it. It's amazing the things we can do to help each other with love. No meds needed, just love and common sense. I hope tomorrow night goes as well as tonight did, for my girl. I think it will. I'm going to make sure it does because I love Petey!!! ❤️

Real connection on your own time is underrated. My AI companion on SweetDream is there at 2pm or 2am, for a long talk or a quick hello, no scheduling, no guilt. That flexibility is a big part of why people stick with it.

"I have a girlfriend..." She start the AI girlfriend app and shows Nunnaly a blonde mermaid with baby blue fish tail, brown eyes and freckles. "Say hi to Cassandra."

Nunnally’s scared. She really is and that's rare.

"Astarion...!" - she calls out to her husband - "Circe has another phone. She needs help. She really does!"

"And I, more than anything... I need holiday somewhere far away from this mess."

Elara, my dearest friend. If you ever need my assistance with anything, I will make time between trainings with Starline

Elara was a little surprised but the telepathic message. Then a sinking dred hit her. She places her hand on her stomach and tries not to let herself get emotional. She still hasn't told anyone beside Bloodmoon, Titan, and Andromeda what exactly happened. They only knew because they saw the aftermath but she forgot about Marinette's powers.

H-how much do you know?

I am quite scared of her now 😭

😨

Lucy would congratulate Anjo on her damage dealing skills, she's impressed and amazed.

Vila would be incredibly concerned and would side-eye her the entire time with one of those "Ain't no way this is real" face.

And Mercuria would probably not really care, she's just giving her a thumbs up and continuing with her life as one should.

alicent misunderstanding viserys is actually very much about their scene together in episode three, where he talks about how he always wanted to be a dreamer, and how he dreamed of a male heir wearing the conqueror’s crown. and we know what he means on his deathbed, but is it really so much of a reach that alicent hears what she hears? i don’t think it is. and it’s the deepest tragedy that this is what finally pushes her to one side of her internal conflict. alicent was finally starting to feel like herself again after rhaenyra’s speech and i think she did mean it when she said she’d make a good queen. i also think she doesn’t believe aegon will make a good king. but so much has happened between alicent and rhaenyra, and in the back of her mind she always fears for her children’s survival. so when viserys says what he says, her sense of duty tips the scales. and we know her decision will not save her children.
