At a meeting with colleagues today & one was showing a picture of his new grandson, another showed a picture of his new puppy and then there's me... "Do you want to see a picture of my goalie?" Latvian Legend!
unfortunately it isn't possible to adjust a wristwatch to account for the switch to daylight saving time. there are plenty of hucksters out there who claim it can be done, but the reality is that your watch is now defective and must be discarded in a fresh waterway such as a river or swimming pool
A highland cow is surrounded by a smattering of eggs and the sign says Howdy Easter
I think Hobbity Lobbity has gone too far again and they already had gone like really, really far
Whatever the opposite of flow state is, I'm in it.
Overheard at Scooters:
"No way! I thought you were gay!"
"I'm not gay. I just don't like anyone."
Then they talked about who he had dated.
"I don't know why I dated her. She liked me and asked me out. I just have a hard time saying no."
Can we talk about sumo oranges? They're delightful.
Made an at home version of a medicine ball tonight but I didn't have lemonade or lemon juice. Instead I squeezed half an orange into the cup. Amaaazing. That's all.
Hey, my sense of smell and taste is sorta coming back after a week of being sick. A little hope in a word of dreary everything.
Same.
We watched the HBO documentary about counting crows tonight. It's brilliant. I'm biased because Adam is my favorite songwriter. Still, though... it's super good. We need a sequel that references the unpleasant people from cloudkookooland.
Guy on tiktok is playing piano, taking requests, says he knows thousands of songs but turns out he doesn't know any songs by Ben Folds. Sad.
You are doing the Lord's work by making this know. Bless you!
Cashier: Do you want this makeup bagged separately?
Me: Nope. Throw it in with whatever.
Bagger bags the lip gloss separately.
Me, in my head: Why do they ask?
I don't understand the trend of high tables and booths up on a platform. Wouldn't regular tables or floor level booths be easier for everyone? Accessibility makes sense.
Steve said, "what if they only have high tables or platform booths?" "Then we turn around and leave." I just want accessibility to be the norm. They did have a table and room for his chair, but I was scolded for not mentioning that we needed special accommodations when I called in.
We went to a restaurant tonight that required reservations. I made a reservation and didn't think to mention that we would need a spot for a wheelchair. We hadn't been there before.
When you finally take a day off from work but then realize you have a zoom meeting at 3 that you still need to attend. And then you waste most of the day waiting for that dang meeting... I am bad at this.
Steve is laughing hysterically from the other room. I ask, "What are you laughing at?" Through the cackling he barely chokes out: "Porch pirates and glitter."
Are we all just so tired?
Sometimes I play the game where I see how long my husband can talk without me saying anything in return or listening to what he's actually talking about. 7 minutes this time. All about some video game he just finished. Yawn.
Our knack for timing restroom stops just when they're cleaning the gas station bathrooms is uncanny.
Finally asleep and woken up by an 🐞 crawling on my face. I hate everything.
I'm at the Betsy-Tacy Convention with my mom and truly this is such a gift to have time with her, learning about her favorite book series. This is so niche.
Even if I doubled the time I have available for the things I ought to get done it would not be enough.
Watching the Okoboji Writers Retreat unfold gives me hope for Iowa and the country even. This part of my job does not suck.
Every year I tell myself I am going to get to the Renaissance Festival and every year September just up and disappears. Next year....
Seems unfair that we have earwigs, fruit flies, and mosquitoes all at once. Cmon frost. Help a girl out.
If you enjoy the thrill of panic cleaning for company right before they show up, you should try running a retreat center with limited staff in the shoulder season. The cabins were clean but alas, the spiders have taken over.
