(Angry of course at the state of the world, also.)

I have a) a desire to be useful, but b) a desire to flop somewhere and wait the day out.
It's raining and very dark outside.
i also had to do some domestic litigation and I'm tired. But restless! Surely there's something I *should* do, right now?!

I was meeting up with someone from a dating site. He looked me up and down, and said, with fatalistic disappointment, "Oh. That was a really old picture, wasn't it?"
(It was from the previous year.)
It actually GOT WORSE FROM THERE.

I was in a supermarket parking lot moving a lot of stuff from my car to a public recycling dumpster. I was in shorts (it was summer).
A car of young men drove in a circle around me, and one yelled, "Jeez, at least get a tan!"

I can't sleep.
Also my right hip is giving me pain and this is just UNFAIR because this isn't even the hip I was practicing dance moves with.
(I didn't feel middle-aged until I hit 60 and now I need PT in THREE DIFFERENT PLACES. Also unfair.)

Wrote five holiday cards, 3 thank you notes, and a heartfelt letter, and distributed small gifts to my neighbors! For a perfectionist with social phobia, all that was HARD!
Also, my car is still in the shop. :P But hopefully I can get it tomorrow!

I have written 2 holiday cards and am working on card 3.
This one includes a thank-you note for something that happened last summer.
So you see I don't make it easy on myself!

Had a really nice, brief Facebook interaction with someone from my home town who sounded really delighted to hear back from me.
SO weird. I don't think we had a single conversation after maybe 7th grade. But he was remembering things from childhood I thought made him cringe in HS.

Up early, due in part to cat traffic on top of me during the night.
Plenty to do, some of which I can do without other people, some of which I do need others to do.
Hope my car will start: I was going to try on glasses frames today before the end of the year, to utilize my frames benefit.

Guy at the 2nd AutoZone said he thought I had a partially-bad battery but that it looked new enough that it might be under warranty. i should go home and see what I could find about when I bought it.
I have zero memory WHATSOEVER about buying that battery.

Bit of a non-starter of a day.
However, if my car had cooperated, I could at least have bought a ham.
(Yes, that IS a sequitur. That was the one thing I resolved to get done today.)

My car is, again, stone dead.
Roadside assistance is on the way.
I will go to an AutoZone and ask them to test the battery and alternator.

I am abstaining from carbonated beverages this week, because I suspect that's one reason why I have constant discomfort in my solar plexus.
the acid probably doesn't help, either.
Or conceivably I'm sick with something. I *am* coughing a bit. (But I am fully vaccinated.)

Cat-guardians and companion-humans of BluSky:
What is the best kind of brush for a shorthair who gets hairballs a lot?
I'm not sure which cat it is, so I'm assuming it's "both".
I have an undercoat brush (a "Furminator") and a nameless bristly brush that seems ineffective.
