billytea alert! seems that in Australia, the sharks are on Twitter, warning swimmers and surfers when they're coming.

I'm letting my hair go blonde/grey as it wants to. The bright copper streaks at my temple have gone blonde, and I've got spatters of grey.

I try to sign paper receipts legibly, but electronic signatures are a squiggle. If they're not going to give me a pen that will cooperate, they don't get cooperation from me.

the sharks are on Twitter,

Some bright spark better start naming the sharks and programming the alerts to say "G'day, mate! Bruce the nine-foot Great White, here, looking for tasty morsels off Bondi Beach! Just a friendly warning, let me get a few seals down my gullet and I'll be on my way."

I've been thinking about fun colors (dark teal would be nice), but the timing hasn't been right.

I'm working at home today. Usually it's fun. Today I'm watching society break down as our water company developed problems and asked its users to not use water for an undetermined time. Schools closed (kids can't flush after using the bathroom or wash their hands), restaurants are closed, and all the bottled water in town has been sold. I have plenty of water in my apartment from last year's hurricane prep, and I can go to friends' places tomorrow for showers if things carry on. Still, this was an unexpected occurrence.

Hair appointment made for next Saturday. Hopefully we still have a civilization at that point.

Right? It is SO HARD to plan summer camps right now.

Holy crap, Calli, what a mess.

Hopefully we still have a civilization at that point.

Tim has to have surgery on his big toe (he gets fake cartilage, which I didn't know was a thing, and I feel like I should have known that given my job, injected into the joint space), and he said he didn't know if it was worth it since society is collapsing. I told him the cartilage would help him compete in the Hunger Games.

If society is collapsing, I'm going to regret getting rid of half my swords. At least I still have the bearded axe, and Sting is surprisingly sturdy.

And then the hair salon called me back to make sure I knew what was involved with coloring my hair.
