Mixing flexibility with stoicism is tricky, but that's the price we pay for integrity.

Do you ever have that moment where you see somebody and immediately categorize them as a senior citizen, but then you look closer and think "well, maybe they're actually only 42, but they've had a really hard life"?

Over the past several days I've oft thought "I should go to bed earlier."
The issue is that the thought tends to come to mind around 1:30am... which is far too late to get to bed "early" by any reputable standard.

The past two days I drove across a swath of the country, and it was appalling how many pro-trɥmp billboards I passed.
Why and how could anyone still possibly want to support such vile behaviors?!

Please share my misery: I was just minding my beeswax, carrying a bunch of towels/blankets I had hung out to dry. (It's warm/sunny enough, and winter is often dryer than summer. It works.)
Anyhow, my very rude nip apparently reached out and got itself ELECTRICUTED on the metal pergola.
I scröeched.

A lady told me today that her grandkid "turned autistic" after his 2y vaccinations, so they chose not to vaccinate the next child..... who is, incidentally, also autistic. Yet, she still thinks it was the vaccines.

Ahmed el Ahmed took two bullets (from the 2nd shooter) trying to protect the folks celebrating the first night of Hannukah.

An employee at #Walmart just refused to sell a beer to a man who was clearly an adult (probably in his 40s), because he didn't have a Texas ID. "I wish I could, but I'd be fired!" What the 𝑓 kind of rule is that? I sure can't find it anywhere.

I downloaded this puzzle game, right? So every puzzle I finish displays this banner.
At the top, it says "Completed," then the level number, then the sentence "You complated it."
I like the game, but I don't know how many times I can see that spelling error without going insane.

It's 12:35am on "Monday" morning.
Am I asleep? Nope. Instead, I'm relentlessly hallucinating the college-football tv theme song.
Bah-de-dun, bah-de-dun, bah-de-dun, bah-de-dun dee daaahhhh!
Shut up, brain!!

Me: orders materials
Me: wonders why it will take so long to get here, as it is shipping from Nebraska
Me: notices the tracking places it in Rhode Island.
Are they just... shipping everybody's orders one by one? I kinda expected.......................... logic.

Wow.
This... This is how some colonialist descendants actually think.
This comment was left by the brother of a friend of mine, who has descended into some version of "I am white, tall, handsome, and therefore I must also be smart, right, potent, and important" hell.
I'm appalled.

Somebody tell corporate: it is AWFUL when the employees all shout at us as we enter a store. "WELCOME TO XYZ" feels like a competition more than a welcome. Also, obviously I'm welcome - if I weren't, the doors would be locked and lights out.
Just stop!!!

I called to get an eye appointment. They had literally the whole afternoon open - zero appointments.
I get here and there's standing room only in the waiting room, and we're a half-hour past my time already.
Guess everyone called in after me.
I shoulda had lunch. 😖

They were going to throw out the 3-months-past-expiration natural peanut butter, so I rescued it.
The oil had separated dramatically, of course. I used my immersion blender to mix it up, and the poor thing nearly overheated. But, the PB was SO GOOD!

Pretty sure a fʌckin' fly just tried to climb up my bum hole while I was actively p◌◦ping.
What a terrible sensation!
(Also, why must it be so warm that a fly snuck in the house at all this time of year‽ I saw one flying around this afternoon.)

How obnoxious! Nobody in my area is broadcasting the @ohiostatefb.bsky.social v. Purdue football game tomorrow.
I don't pay for TV, so I can't "sign in to my provider" to watch it online, either.
Sadness and sorrow.
Good luck, boys. I guess I'm missing this one.

A minor rant:
One of the few problems with cool nights and warm days is that this morning, it was cool out so I opened a south-west facing window.
And forgot to close it.
It was 90º this afternoon.
Sorry A/C unit!
