There’s a guy here at the bar with a man-bun, a pencil mustache, several gold chains, and an ascot. I don’t know what to make of it.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
That's a lot of stereotypes to uphold all at once.
Perhaps he just lost a bet?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Mr. S is back at the facility. This morning went reasonably well, as did lunch. Something about bedtime that brings out the worst in him...

Aw, man, Vida Blue died. One of my first clear memories is watching him pitch on TV for the Oakland A's before I had any idea where Oakland was. I only knew that my father had lived there once.
After observing Mr. Mays's 92nd yesterday, losing Mr. Blue at 73 feels way too early.

So today I learned I have Norwegian rats in the crawlspace: they tunnel under the foundations! And then I read Parable of the Sower, which is just not a book you want to read when you're already worried about ... stuff. Anything.
So now I'm just fucking depressed.
(I will get the rats dealt with, but the long-term fix is about $10K, because I would have to get the foundation sealed with concrete.

Yikes, that is a lot of money, and I did not know that about rats?! Tunnel under the foundation!?! I don’t even want to think about it.
Today am thankfully feeling better, and just brought some homemade lactation cookies to friends with a three week old baby, and they gave me pedialyte popsicles, because one of them is on a similar medication and said having one in the morning really helped her. Fingers crossed!
Tom, that is a lot. Man bun and pencil mustache is a lot but…ascot!

Our wings are not tired.
Ugh, Consuela. The never-ending joy of home ownership.
It's Monday. I'm listening to music while plowing through my work, which is also never-ending.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Back to work after Thursday and Friday off and attending 3 days of yarn festival goodness. My level of DO NOT WANT TO WORK is so high. Not helping is that I am the only one in my little area of the office.
Boo not feeling well and rats.
Mr. S’s behavior at bedtime sounds like sundowning.
