Going through the produce department at the supermarket. Two guys putting out veggies.

"So, who slept with who and who died?"

Game of Thrones fans, I surmised.

"Nobody had sex with anybody else and Jon Snow is King of the North. King of the North!!!" he exclaims, causing many shoppers to stop and stare.

His buddy blinks, then bursts out laughing.

"Yes," the second guy says, nodding, "it was that exciting."

You Game of Thrones people are everywhere.

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

At 6:30 this morning, a dove marched up to me to let me know the birdfeeder was empty.

No, I wasn't dreaming. I call doves dumb, but clearly they have some cunning to 'em.

The squirrels in the local parks are used to having tourists feed them. They can get quite aggressive. One park has some white squirrels which are even more so - I was once in that park with a large cup of smoothie and one came up and perched at my toes with an expectant look.

My mom has booked a flight to come visit. And now I'm getting stressed out because she thought she needed to cancel and rebook when I said that I may need to work from home a little bit since she's arriving in the morning rather than the evening. You must chill, Mom!

I just used the expression "the uterus on that woman" and the men in my office about choked to death. I am about at my fill of male dominated bullshit in general. Also? A hair's breadth from losing it for no reason, so maybe I should shut my door.

Squirrels are evil. I don't just them.

Pro Tip: If you set a trap to fling squirrels, don't use a trebuchet, they are too slow, think torsion.
