Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

Yikes, Sheryl! I hope it's nothing.

I am weirdly stressed that fitting today's run around my eye appointment is not as simple as I was supposing. It's fine, self! It's light out until after 8. Also, I kinda wanted to go shop at the newly re-opened Ace, show my support, but I can't think of anything I can go pick up without doing a lot of research first to make sure my specs are right. Hardware is a tough impulse buy. I mean, it's easy for me to impulsively buy the entirely wrong thing, but I am trying not to do that.

OK, ita, I browsed through a few pages of thumbnails - you have a lot that I like very much. I'm going to go with my first instinct and plump for Seeking God III (with the tiger).

Whoa, not having as bad a day as this semi driver whose truck is now jammed under a bridge. No wonder traffic was backed up!

That's no good for anybody.

Why did I check my work e-mail? Stupid.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My work email has been completely down since yesterday evening. It's weirdly freeing? But also nervous-making.

Because books.

Ace has lots of great non-measure-for stuff, though, like Mason jars with regular lids and flashlights and all that. I like hardware stores a little too much, I think.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

We just had to get Netflix to kick someone in the UK off our streaming account. And yes, we then changed the password.

But that's like the weirdest, least harmful bit of identity theft ever. "I will hack into your Netflix account and...watch The Hunger Games!"

How did you even know they were doing it?

Our streaming account has a limit of two devices, and we usually have one playing on the TV while my husband half-watches another on his laptop (because he is weird). So it told us we had too many devices running, and that one was an Android tablet (which we don't have) playing a show the US streaming site doesn't have access to.

Cool.
