I think I've gotten to the point where I prefer hot weather to cold. Yeah, I need technology to be comfortable in heat, and sweating will always be icky. But the cold hurts. And I still need technology to be comfortable, because even bundled in sweaters and robes and blankets doesn't prevent the painful chill from creeping in. My hands don't hurt in the summer.
But if the world doesn't end, I'm gonna need a note.

Ah, Nerd 101. I had to explain Rule 34 yesterday at work. That was high-larious.
How could they not know???

I know! What are they teaching the youth of today?!
We were talking about the things you see when you have to review things for content problems. And a coworker who's been at my company a while said, "You know that rule..." And I nodded and said, "Oh yeah. Rule 34?"
And then we had to stop to explain it to the rest of the group.
Went to the optometrist down the street. I really liked everyone, so yay, I can keep going there. My prescription is basically the same, my left eye is slightly weaker. But I got my eyes dilated, so I'll be listening to playoffs hockey in the dark. Later on in the afternoon, I'll do the Umbridge Run 13K.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I just had to look it up. I knew the rule, but not the number.

What Aurelia said. I didn't know it was called that.

Unbridge Run 13k? That sounds like they will have cat plates and painful fountain pen scratches at the water stops!!
I should get shit done but what I really need to do is Marie Kondo my clothes, and I don't have the energy for it.

It's a Hogwarts Running Club virtual race, meara. The medal is pink with cats on it. Its official name is "The Final Inaugural 'I Must Not Tell Lies' Dolores Jane Umbridge Run 13k... Or Until It Sinks In."

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I should Marie Kondo too.

Rules I know, what I don't know is what it means to Marie Kondo one's clothes. Is that when you fold them? Organize them? Or is it sorting and throwing stuff away? Oh, that reminds me, I should do laundry.
I am only dimly aware of who Marie Kondo is, but if she knew I existed, she'd weep in despair. I am THAT slovenly.

I kind of want to participate in that Umbridge run just for the awesome cat plate.
