You got fired, and you still hang around here like a big loser. Why can't he?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Best to your uncle, sj.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Jess that sucks about the kiddo but yay not having to treat it yourself?

Definite yay. And I saw some pics of her at the weekly Sunday night camp shindig, so it looks like they let her out of the infirmary pretty quickly.

Hope all goes well with your uncle, sj.

Pinkeye is worse than lice.

I am back at work today also, and it's fine, I guess? But "I'd rather be paddling" is more or less my default whether I've recently taken a vacation or not.

I have running water and no pinkeye and apparently at least one more of the USWNT is now openly gay because Kelley o'hara Was kissing her girlfriend after the game (!!!)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Hee, it's like the opposite of wishing I had a root

Our wings are not tired.

Surgery~ma.

I used to get pink eye too often when I wore contacts, which means anytime more than once in a lifetime qualifies as too often. Awful stuff.

DH has gone to the city to get electrical parts to set up a charging port for my car here, and plumbing parts for the winter destruction. He took a bit more time making his list because going to the store for that kind of stuff is 50 miles each way and not like home where you can have a 5 trips to the hardware store project without it being a biggee.

I set up Skinner's kennel thinking he would feel more at home with his safe place, but he has opted to curl up in Zoe's old bed which was here instead. So that is super sweet. Big goofy guy does not get the whole stairs concept very well. He is going up and down the 4 steps into the house now, awkwardly, but just looks at me like I am nuts when I suggest he go up to the bedrooms on the second floor. Getting him to do those, and getting him to jump into the car or truck is high on the project list.

hip deep in pie

The hold music I am listening to seems to be caught in a loop between Sinatra's Fly Me to the Moon and ABC's Look of Love. It could be worse. I'm just puzzled because this a mobile phone company that's branded to the millennials, and this does not seem like their target hold music.

I am being nibbled to death by ducks, but I choose to focus on the fact that a brand new iPhone was left on my front step FOR ALMOST A WEEK and it was still there when I got home this morning.

Wow, Sue. That is awesome! I've been lucky with packages, but usually they aren't left for a long time.

Seriously. I mean I've never had anything stolen from my front step, but I've never had anything there longer than a few hours.

The first phone was sent with signature required upon delivery, so I have no idea why this one wasn't.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I can't not read about the Jeffrey Epstein thing, but it's filling me with so much rage. So much. I want to find people's houses and burn them down. (I would not really do that.)

Heh. I am overhearing a couple of coworkers talk about some recent game in some sport or other and it took me a couple of minutes to understand that they were not talking about soccer. Like, there are other sports happening now, who knew?
