Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Man, I killed maybe 20 flies this morning before work, and another 5 after getting home. Every time I kill what I think is the last one, another startrs buzzing around a few minutes later.

If they're attracted by something dead in the building, I hope it's out where somebody will find it and not something like a pigeon or mouse in the walls.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I will not share the story of when an old lady died in the condo above my friend's and was not discovered for several weeks.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

In more my backyard likes carrots news, two things that made me happy today:

Two months ago, this was a bulb in my front yard. [link]

This afternoon, I saw a hummingbird scout out my empty, needs to be replaced hummingbird feeder and then go feed on my foxglove instead.

brenda, we had one too in the neighborhood. I think I mentioned it at the time. He was a challenging character. TBI from a long time ago made him sometimes fairly benign but difficult character. HE was a PITA for some, a person to pity or just gently rebuff for others. He loved his dogs, but house will need to be gutted due to filth. A complex case, but even those that had tangles with him have expressed sadness at the manner of his death and legacy (family won't take any responsibility for anything. Even the neighbors who he caused trouble are more involved.)

ION, FUCK. It's time for a new car. Pulled the same trick as last weekend. Could be as simple as a short or battery terminals needing cleaning (it was raining when I got home, so I wasn't going to clean them in the rain) OR an alternator. Got it going again and home. The uncertainty of whether my transport will actually get me where I'm going? Done. I'd hoped to have a little more time and do this in the next year, but unless it is just the battery or connections, I'm not putting any more $$ into this car this year.

I don't know how I'm going to fucking budget in a car payment, but the other option is taking it all from savings and I just can't do that. Priority is house and I need that cushion. I can walk if it came down to it. Really need to find out if a refi will free up cash.

You know how much I hate bra-shopping? As in, reduced to tears, ranting and raving? This is me shopping for cars.

And I'm still hormone hell cranky and I just want to break things.

I had a Brazil one near Bahia that I was 4 km near. But it took me 20 minutes to figure it out and I figured that was a sign that I Must NOT do this.

In other news, I'm going to make something that has avocado, pea sprouts and yummy yummy yummyness. As soon as I finish folding laundry and watching Scandal. Oh Quinn you are going to break Huck's heart.

If it's a person, please let it be my neighbor's latenight-visiting friend that I refer to as Shrieky Hyena Woman. I'd put up with some flies if it means I don't have to hear her nails-on-chalkboard voice at 4 a.m. again.
