I’m busy at work! It’s amazing! Some of the stuff that’s coming my way is the usual “ok, admit it dude, you just assigned this to the first person whose name caught your eye”, but a bunch of it is actually stuff I do. Wow. > [@carnivorousplant](#): > > A euphemism? You pronounce heuphemism? ---

> [@Spiderman](#): > > **Moommm** , if **Daaaddd** ’s back to riding by then, mebbe he should come out. I don’t expect he’ll be riding till the spring. The healing process is a lot slower this time around. And I think he did go to Punkin’ Chunkin’ one of the years when I was still in FL and he was working in Baltimore - he said it was boring. Too much waiting around for stuff to happen. Good morning, such as it is. I had a terrible time falling asleep last night and I woke at least twice before my alarm. It’s gonna be a long day. On the plus side, we might get some rain later. That’s all I’ve got. Happy Wednesday. \*\ \* ---

Happy B-Day, Midget. Actually slept to almost 0730, that’s the latest I’ve slept in weeks. I was worried last night, when I got up to go to be I felt woozy, almost off-balance, but there is no sign of that today…must have been more tired than I thought. Will break fast after doing my game threads here on the dope. ---

HAPPY BIRTHDAY **MIDGET**!!! So last night, both Roomies were out, and I thought I’d pop a frozen lasagna in the oven, sit down in the living room and watch me some Netflix. Which is when I discovered that the remote that controls said Netflix is missing. Long story short, I searched for a little over two hours, ranging far and wide all over my 3,000 sq ft. house. Did not find. BoyRoomie came home and proceeded to check _everywhere I had already looked._ Now, logically and reasonably, I know this is a sound strategy. When you’ve looked for something for a long time, your eyes start to glaze over, and maybe you miss it. So I know that’s what he was doing. _However_, my already frustrated and furious brain translated his actions into “Your puny, insufficient female eyes must have missed it. Here, let me duplicate all your efforts, because having a penis makes my eyesight better.” And that’s when I gave up and went to bed, because I _know_ he wasn’t thinking anything of the sort–I was just so furious about the stupid remote that I couldn’t trust my own brain and had to remove myself from company. This morning I gave up and ordered a new one. ---
