Oops! My mom texted me to remind me that tomorrow at approximately fuckoclock is our appointment to sort out the title for the truck. I completely forgot!
So now I have to head back over to her house, because the appointment is stupid early, so it's better for me to just stay the night.
I was hoping for a comparatively responsibility-free weekend, but alas.
At least I'll presumably get to hang out with Taylor tonight. Not great for attempts at productive writing, but fun!
Tomorrow is still birthday gift shopping day.

Today's main productivity was getting Cy a bath. He's all soft and not stinky now. He definitely doesn't *love* baths, but he's resigned about them. He just gives you the "why are you murdering me" sad eyes the whole time. We paid to use the local small-business pet store's self-wash - the raised tubs are SO much easier than the bathtub at home.

I do occasionally have thoughts about stuff that would make for decent essay-style DW posts, but do I remember them when I could actually make those posts? Nah.

Watched a fairly decent horror movie last night, though it has pretty low ratings elsewhere, so maybe I'm alone in enjoying it.
It was called The Unborn, but is NOT the horror movie that came out some years ago with that title. (Which was ALSO a pretty good horror movie.) This one came out in 2020.
This one was about a pair of security guards in an abandoned building, when creepy shit starts to go down. It felt video-gameish, and honestly, I think it would be a really FUN horror game. The atmosphere was pretty creepy, it did a good job playing up their semi-isolation, and there were some pretty good monster-y effects. It's a little ambiguous about what the ultimate creepy thing really WAS, but in a way that I kinda liked.
It reminded me of a good version of "The Abandoned", which was a movie that I inexplicably remember from five years ago. That one was also about security guards in an abandoned building that had creepy shit start happening (creepy child-related shit, even!), but it featured one of the WORST attempts at a "twist" ending that I remember ever seeing.
Part of me really does wish I'd stuck with doing horror reviews, I just feel like I already struggle so much with time management that I wouldn't have time to go back to them unless I sacrifice something else, ugh.

Cy does not enjoy baths, but also doesn't resist. He'll even hop in the tub at home when told to, and at the dog wash Alex lifts him into the tub. He doesn't try to escape or get away from it, but he just looks sad the whole time.
He DOES hate the dryer, if it gets anywhere near his face, though I think he's getting better about it.
Poor Darj! I'm sure she appreciates the anti-itch and softer fur, even if she doesn't connect it to suffering through the bath. At least you can get it over with pretty quick with her!

I've used a blow dryer on Darji some when I've needed to (like when it's cold outside), and she doesn't mind it a lot as long as it's on the lower setting.
She's doing pretty well today after the bath. She runs around like a fiend after every bath to dry off faster, and today, she slept in my pillows rather than under one of her blankets on the bed. She hasn't been too traumatized.

I'm glad the medicated shampoo is helping Darji! When we bathe him at home we use an oatmeal shampoo on Cy, but I'm not sure if I've ever really been able to tell if it helps much. The dog wash has shampoo and conditioner, though I don't know what kind... but it seems to work pretty well.
Cy always takes off and zooms around the apartment when his bath is done, haha.

I hope things go well with the title and shopping today.

I think it all went well! :)
