I’ve been doing some cleaning and rearranging. For the time being we don’t need two large, cozy crates and 4 additional dog beds scattered around the house for the time being. It helps my grief to have them collapsed and stored out of the way. However, I happened to see the colony of dust jackalopes behind the headboard! They are so far beyond bunny, absolutely have gone cryptid! Yikes, I cannot unsee the Horror! I did not take photos. Instead I slammed a shot of liquid Benadryl (faster acting) and grabbed cleaning supplies. I can see the wall again. My back has opinions, but I referred back to the first glimpse and asked it to settle down. Now to get to the planned adulting. Cleaning off the ceiling fan blades and changing the bed linens. Oh, and putting stuff back on the headboard; apologies to my wife for her future confusion! #adulting #AdultingInHostileEnvironments #CryptidSpotting

Most of y’all could skip the Benadryl, but I’m actually allergic to dust. This is why I had to deal with the dust-cryptid infestation upon sighting it. It’s terrible for my allergies to leave it. We keep stuff on our headboard, so this being a place for dust to gather slips my mind. I wanted to access the pull out shelves on my side, since they’re not blocked by a crate, and see about some lighting that has failed (just not fully plugged in). I’ll remember to run a duster behind the headboard more often now! We thankfully keep several versions of Diphenhydramine (Benadryl in the US) on hand because of my allergies and MCAS nonsense. We’ve got Diphenhydramine gel caps, liquid, double strength caplets, spray, gel, and a cream. If you’re having a histamine issue and I’m around I’ll almost always have some gel caps on me!
