I just spelt “paraphernalia” correctly in one attempt, without really thinking about it! 🆒 So what have you guys done that was so damn impressive this cloudy, January Sunday morning? ---

I have a cold. My first nose-blow this morning was truly epic. ---

I made a pot of coffee and cleaned up some dog puke. Not necessarily in that order - I figured the less awake I was while cleaning the better it would be. ---

I had donuts for breakfast, loaded about 200 ebooks onto my tablet and commented on somebody’s blog. Now I’m trying to get Dropbox to work on my tablet… ---

While I was making the bed this morning I let go a truly epic fart - all four cats ran out of the room at high speed. But the cats aren’t what made the fart epic - the fact that the neighbor in her drive outside the window shoveling snow stopped and looked around very confused, trying to pinpoint the sound is what made it a fart to be proud of. ---

I waxed my eyebrows and read every interesting post on the dope! And I have enjoyed half a pot of coffee. All that while still in my robe. ---

Went out back and chopped ice for an hour, then came back in and made coffee and a Vegemite and toasted cheese sandwich. Now watching an advert for Dean Martin celebrity roasts. Whoops! Time to take a dump and then have a shower! :eek: ---

I chipped the last of the ice out of my driveway … and then fought back a coronary (it was harder work that I thought it would be). ---

I got out of bed, made a cup of coffee and made it into the den without waking the Incomparable Sunflower. She needs her rest ---

I put the last of the holiday rum into the last of the holiday coffee for breakfast, officially signalling the end of the holiday season. I followed it up with a (short) trip to the gym, officially signalling the start of the holiday decadence removal season. ---

Slept till 11:30, which I haven’t done in years. (Of course, for reasons I can’t explain I was wide awake – to the point of getting up and watching a movie and knitting – for about four hours in the middle of the night, so the total number of hours slept wasn’t particularly impressive.) ---

Mi Esposa has spent the last ten days down with the Flu, and now from the after effects which in her case somehow includes vertigo. I woke up a little early (sorry Cuervo), cleaned up and swept the kitchen, started a load of dishes, a load of laundry, made coffee, prepared her a cup, and made breakfast followed by which I again cleaned up my mess from breakfast. Oh and the litter boxes. And sent the boss an e-mail. ---
