I'm awake and have been since 730. I have a headache and a very energetic puppy. Hoping drugs will fix the headache....sadly puppy thinks the valerian treats smell bad and refuses to eat them.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
JenP! Hiya!
I've been loafing around eating oatmeal, but I need to get off my butt and go to the grocery store and then do some more yard work to make the backyard less of a hellscape while the weather is still nice.
Random: I hate all kinds of melon, right? It just tastes like it was made with artificial sweetener, to me, so I avoid melon. I had a dream last night that I was eating cut-up pieces of fruit, and I thought they were peaches because they were so sweet and yummy, and I asked what they were, and they were fucking MELON. And I felt so betrayed -- not by the person who gave me the melon, but by my own goddamn taste buds for deciding that melon was acceptable.
I am emphatically NOT going to buy a melon today to see if my dream was prophetic, because, seriously, fuck melon.

Hi JenP!
I thought I was the only person who hated melon!

I don't hate melon. But in fruit salad, it always seems like filler to bulk out other, tastier fruit.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Melon is the worst.

I remember reading a dystopian short story about space colonists starving to death because the melons growing everywhere were taboo. Finally the protagonist tried one in desperation and didn't even die. I guess the author (was it Octavia Butler?) was in the Melon Haters Society.

I hate all melon except watermelon.

Jayzus, all the melon hate!
It's cool, sweet and delicious.

Hi, back, yay! I love watermelon, like honeydew, tolerate cantaloupe (but, apparently, don't know how to spell it, thank you, red squiggly), and can't think of another melon to end the list.
I got up earlier than I would have liked because my body has decided that it needs to make two fingers on my right hand numb, yet also painful (neat!) sometimes from something positional when I sleep. Sometimes. And I have to stand up pretty much to get it to stop. On the other hand (heh), fried eggs and bacon for breakfast, and I cleaned up the kitchen.
