I didn't realize until recently that today is the day he died, rather than his birthday.
We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

In cross-your-fingers good news, it looks like they've gotten offsite power to Unit 2 and have gotten a backup generator working to cool the spent fuel pools in units 5 and 6. I haven't seen anything recent on the status of the unit 4 pool.

Well, that's excellent news.
The workshop I've been at since Monday finally, in the last two hours of the last day, got around to talking about the stuff I do. And they blasted through it so fast we didn't address anything in detail. I did learn a few things that I didn't know were going on, which just makes me resentful rather than enthusiastic.
... I have a bad attitude. Huh.
Possibly it's time for ice cream or something.

In bad news on the individual rather than the plural-of- apocalypse scale, I just hit a large wire that I have no idea how it got in my yard, and now my brand-new mower won't start.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Ugh, Ginger. I hope it will after a bit.
... I have a bad attitude. Huh.
One of us, one of us!

I'm assuming it's that I'm sick and a little bit hungover from last night.

I know my bad attitude grows exponentially as the amount of snot increases

Fuck yeah.
Mower-ma, Ginger.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, either of those would contribute to crankiness, for sure. Along with things that are cranky-making!
Um, I've been commenting in my head all day, but maybe not actually on here?

False alarm, at least about the mower. I let it rest a while and it came back from the dead.
Has anyone else with a compost heap wondered if carrots are really food? They seem to have the half-life of a Twinkie.
