So mundane and pointless, how could you possibly top it? I just noticed the nice red toenail polish on my big toe is chipped after only two days of wearing the polish. Thought you would like to know this mundane bit of information. šŸ˜ƒ ---

I just had lunch so hereā€™s a few food related. The lemonade from McDonalds is not very good. The Chipotle BBQ Bacon Angus burger is fantastic. ---

My right leg, from mid-shin to just above my knee, is a mass of scratches. Trimming the kittensā€™ claws has not helped. ---

My left nostril is plugged up, and not with a small ladle. No, it appears to be a sinus infection. Shitballs. ---

My Scion is getting an oil change and a tire rotation on Tuesday for its 25K mile service. Mundane, but maybe not pointless - the point is keeping my car going forever. ---

Iā€™m bored and groggy cuz of allergies and Claritin which is freaking supposed to not make you groggy. And Iā€™ve actually posted to my LJ lately but havenā€™t got any comments. _sigh_ Iā€™m tired of being groggy and tired. Stupid allergies. ---

On February 28th, I had an abdominal hysterectomy. Not mundane, you say? Not pointless, you say? Yeah, well, ever since then, the front of the thigh on my left leg has been numb. Numb, I tell you! Well, how mundane and pointless did you want it? Also, my 8YOā€™s beta fish died. ---

[QUOTE=Autolycus] My left nostril is plugged up, and not with a small ladle. No, it appears to be a sinus infection. Shitballs. [/QUOTE] I get those. Sinus infections, that is, not shitballs. Mine feel like toothaches over my upper canines. Tornadoes ravaged a couple of counties west of here yesterday. My daughter-in-lawā€™s mom and dad lost their back yard (several big, old trees; garden shed and contents; gazebo) but are luckier than their neighbors. From what was once their back yard they can look eastward and not see a house for three blocks. I was talking to the editor of the local newspaper; heā€™s pissed that the tornado hit just before the Memorial Day weekend; this way he only gets three days of stories out of it because he suspends publication Sunday and Monday, and by Tuesday itā€™s too old. If itā€™d happened earlier in the week, heā€™d have gotten more days of stories out of it for no extra cost. Such is the thinking of modern journalists. ---

I have a big bag of frozen peas in the door of my freezer thatā€™s open at both ends. I cut off one corner, then forgot that it was already open and cut off the opposite corner. Now the peas are spilling out, and every time I open the freezer door, some of them fall out and scatter all over the floor. It looks like Iā€™ve had a visit from [Pea Boy](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdD-__nhW9E). ---

Count me in with the sinus crowd. Only I donā€™t have an infection. I donā€™t think. Just constant minor allergies, I guess. I donā€™t go anywhere without a packet of tissues on me. As I say, ā€œI walk but my nose runs.ā€ ---
