Hey y'all, thanks! I just woke up. I didn't drown in drool! I did have strange dreams that I was swimming and I found a plane. (not really.)

I feel a bit better. Just a bug, I'm sure.

I'm really wondering if he ever got to mate with his female, spending so much time at my windows, or if another male took care of things for him? If so perhaps the offspring will not be inclined to attack their reflection.

You know what's awesome?

When you notice an old twisty fluorescent bulb in your cabinet mixed in with the LED bulbs, and you think to yourself, "Huh, I should get rid of that..." and then somehow (?) it gets knocked down (or absentmindedly placed?) into the dirty laundry basket instead of tucked neatly away where it came from, and then you casually shove everything into the washing machine, and an hour later you have a load of laundry full of tiny glass shards and mercury.

WTF is wrong with me, that I don't notice a goddamn lightbulb in my laundry basket?

Does adding a light bulb to your detergent, like, make the colors brighter?

No, it just makes them mercurial.

Fortunately, you can still choose whichever parking space you want.
This is the European style grocery, before I left Texas there was a chain of them--forget the name--taking over territory. A low-cost alternative where you have fewer alternatives. Purchasing and inventory control efficiency allow them to save tons of operational costs. And if you want a can of beans, here the fuck they are--what? You wanted a different color label? lol

In evolutionary terms, there is no advantage to having learned a skill designed for such an improbable occurrence. Leopard in the tree tops, yes. Light bulb in the laundry basket, WTF ?

It took me years to find one that could. She's a gem, but not an amateur.

No god dang way anybody is cutting any part of my beard. It's a topiary, they can't possibly get it right. That being said, how can you fuck up fading the sideburns? That's unexpected.

I have a headache that isn't a headache. I know it's from weariness after having the flu (legit - not just a an exaggerated cold), then a huge weekend of baking and markets, followed by cleaning all day monday. Anyway, my head is just not quite turning into a headache. I really feel like a glass of wine, but I think if I have one, I really will get a headache. I took some paracetamol earlier which helped somewhat, but it's still annoying me.

Of course, there are other irritations, but the head is the one I'm telling you about today.
