Oh man. My day is going to be more difficult than I thought.

I heard my rodent guest this morning, so covering the holes under the sink didn't help.

The rodent has invaded the junk drawer, which is full of droppings and stray pieces of pasta. I have to take that all apart and I don't WANT to.

Also the park has shut off the water for the fourth time in two weeks. I probably shouldn't start cleaning up until I can wash my hands. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, poor me!

Maybe I should get a ferret to hunt the rodent.

Cats are very helpful with rodents, although they seem to think you want them delivered as a present.

I sent a FB message to Gud. Not sure if he does messenger, but that is the way my kids communicate with me so I thought maybe it would work.

If someone knows where he lives, we can ask local PD to do a wellness check--if it comes down to it.

Gud, please check in. You've got a lot of people very worried about you.

I sent the FB message, but he hasn't picked it up. It is not unusual for people to not be available while at work, so I would expect him to check in after work hours if he is at the office today.

I stopped at a place called Wicked Chronic and picked up some CBD oil to see if it helps with my fibromyalgia. While I was there, I fist-bumped a woman who mentioned she was turning 70 next week. She said it's helped a lot with her fibro and her back pain.

Note: this is the pure, refined cannabinoid oil, nothing in it to actually get me high. I hope. I was always the one back in my college days who got very high on very little, so who knows.

Ugh, Katie Bee, what an unfortunate coincidence of rat and no water!

Hoping Gud is just busy with work.

Also hope the CBD oil helps, Theo. Many people swear by it.

Looks like I will be observing vote recounts for our Senate race Thursday thru Sunday. I routinely ignore phone calls from unknown numbers, but the number called twice in a row so I picked up.

I'm glad there'll be Buffista eyes on the process, Laura. Hope it goes well for you.

That's very cool, Laura. If probably incredibly boring in practice.

I want to try the CBD oil, but I only walk by the most convenient place that sells it when they are closed.

Cool, Laura! Thanks!

I have incoming inventory on a vessel named Sam Diego Bridge. That seems confusing. Fun thing I learned this week - while the aluminum tariffs are not directly impacting my company yet, the spectre of them hitting in 2018 has led to a general increase in imports from China in 2018 which means containers are in short supply so we are having a hard time moving our goods from our factories to our ports because we can't get containers to ship them in. Yay.
