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...

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am also not that interested in working after a week away.
