If I can't do anything else, I make a pretty good cautionary tale.

It has been several months since the Communists have shown themselves in my neck of the woods. Perhaps my formidable defenses have persuaded them that I'm not worth the effort. Perhaps I should declare VC Day, Victory over the Communists.

That is true, shrift. True security is elusive despite all precautions.

Very true. I am living proof of that this month. Damn Communists.

Damn Commies! Though mine were fairly cooperative this month, timing-wise.
I am so irked by the people I'm working with today. They are idiots who haven't done anything I asked. And it's hard to keep the "omg why is this so hard for you???" Tone out of my voice. And then they're pissy. Argh.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Jeeeesus. Husband got water in his passenger headlight thanks to high water on Tuesday, and it's over $800 to replace.
At least we just got rid of a mortgage payment?

The trick to stain remover that I tend to forget is that you need to pre-treat right before you do laundry, not when the carnage occurs.

Now I'm wondering if alligator damage is covered by insurance.

Hydrogen peroxide works better earlier, I think.

So I was looking at Google Maps for the easiest way to drive from work to the cancer center, and I notice a geographic name. The gulch right next to the cancer center is called Cephalopod Gulch. Go, 'Pods.
