It's me. But it's likely because I have a tendency to put things back when I find them where they don't belong. Or turn a box or jar so it's facing the right way.

I just woke up from a nap and was having a dream where the term “industrial space” was the name for the second space after a period (from typing days of yore).

I don’t know why but seeing this pumpkin on a fire hydrant while it was flurrying made me happy. Had to go outside to capture it. But does someone want to tell the pumpkin it’s illegal to park there? #lancasterpa #citylife #citystreets

Someone I went to elem. school with just made a "2 truths & a lie" post on FB and I'm like: I still never forgot how you bragged in 2nd grade that not only had you been in an airplane before, but also that you TASTED A CLOUD. [A BFF and I laugh about that to this day whenever we fly together.]

The sleep option on my desktop power menu has been missing for a week now, and if that's not a metaphor for November 2024, I'm not sure what is.

Such BS that retail performance reviews rely on reviews. Ex: Hubs texted pic of a "0" rating he just got that basically said: "Nothing wrong w/ store or service. I just refuse to recommend a store unless they're going to pay me to advertise for them." Like, you weren't paid to write THAT either.🤦
