I just found a snail on the coffee pot sitting in my sink.
Huh. That's a new one.

Light through a series of tubes? It's like the Internet! :)
The moon has more than once been bright enough to confuse me into thinking neighbors got new lights. But I have two story windows in my bedroom.

Huh. That's a new one.
I assume it hitched a ride on the flowers I bought at the farmer's market on Sunday, but I'm at a loss to explain how it find its way into the sink and onto the coffee pot which I used this morning. Adventure! Excelsior! Keep trucking, tiny snail.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Or pull out the garlic and butter, and preheat the oven....

It is, after all, a San Francisco snail. Needed its caffeine fix.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
San Francisco snails have their priorities straight.
I'm in a downstairs apartment, so solar tubes and skylights aren't an option now, but I'm definitely adding solar tubes to my "if I ever get a house" list.
In less fun news, I found out yesterday that a former coworker has been murdered. She was one of my favorite people at my previous job, straightforward and competent in an office notable for a large proportion of . . . otherwise. I'd kinda hoped to keep in touch with her after leaving, maybe build a non-work friendship, but I never got around to making that happen. And now her dickwad ex-boyfriend has killed her in what looks like a murder suicide. I want to punch every man with a trilby* and then retire to a lesbian separatist commune.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh my god, that's so terrible.

I did just google a page that says you could put the tube down through a closet or something, but probably not if you're renting!

Heather, I've said this elsewhere, but I am so sorry. That's so awful.
And it may not be lesbian separatist, be we already kind of live in a group of apartments that's 75% women, and feels commune-esque sometimes? (Though we do like our own spaces a whole lot!)

I always thought the commune part of the deal would be hard on introverts. So from my perspective we have the best of both.
