What's more delightful on an unusually warm November Saturday than a couple of tykes (maybe 4 years old) bopping around in an inflatable bounce house hollering "BOUNCE HOUSE!"
Maybe I should rent a bounce house for my birthday. Definitely what my hypermobile SI joint needs.

Momentary happiness is FINALLY finding that brand-new box of contact lenses* so that you can cancel that eye appointment you've had to reschedule 3 times because of COBRA admin fuckery
*Sure, the prescription is from 2018 and the lenses expired in 2/2024, but this box gets me through another year!

When science is understandable, we all win. I've started a national petition calling on all institutions of higher education, and their accreditors, to require science communication and public engagement training for all STEM degrees.

Just had a final interview for a tech writing gig. Boy oh boy have the many years of working from home and not having many social interactions really damaged my "people" skills. Oof.

Autumn evidently has arrived for real as we're having our first three-cat couch day, and there's been no sunshine since Thursday.

Cool, rainy, windy morning, so I get a job-hunting buddy (until I get up to refill my water bottle, at which time Buffy takes of the seat entirely and thus forces me to move the laptop elsewhere)

Having a Sunday morning sit on my front porch with some felines. Neither of the two black cats lives here. Ralph, looking on from inside the house, is not happy.

One day I sure would like to have a job where I'm not on edge on the 15th and the final day of the month as I wait to learn if I've been RIFfed and who else might have been RIFfed.
Off to puke my guts up....

Not sure which is more annoying, the neighbor's power washer or his leaf blower. Dude, it's been 4 hours. Go watch some football or some shit. I'd like to open my windows while I work.
