Snow is too dang cold! Warm showers are nice, though. šŸ˜‰ How can it be Monday already? Wah!!! Dipseyā€™s aunt was out looking for him last night around 9:00 pm. I just donā€™t understand that kind of dog ownership. We gave him back, and now she knows where we live. I guess the mom didnā€™t tell her very good directions - she was looking for our house farther on down the street. Stay warm and dry and pure, you guys! šŸ˜ƒ ---

If I were up to the challenge, i.e., willinā€™ to put some thought into it, I bet I could come up with all kinds of shower product double entendre. However, for some reason my normally dirty olā€™ mind is not functioninā€™ properly. šŸ˜ƒ ---

that shower stall better be ADA Compliant, or youā€™ll have to count me out. Of course, if it isnā€™t, I could just take videos for YouTubeā€¦ šŸ˜ƒ People who know me keep telling me I am a good person, nice, thoughtful, caring, yadda yadda yadda. I havenā€™t felt like ā€œthe good twinā€ since I was in school. I _am_ my evil twin. At least thatā€™s how I feel inside. ---

I donā€™t usually tell people this, but I am the evil twin and there is an even more evil twin lurking somewhere. I keep her in a box under the bed, and occasionally let her out to play but she insists on wearing beige which is never a good thing. Being evil is much more fun than being good. Being good is highly over-rated in my book. ---

Iā€™s now firmly ensconced in Cubeville. The projected 90 minute commute came close to 2 hours, not figuring for a minor quest for snackables. The main roads were mostly clear with widely scattered patches of ice. The smaller roads are almost universally skating rinks. ---

I rather prefer not being pure **anything**. That seems too predictable. Iā€™d like to think of myself as a sort of hybrid of many, non-purified stuffs. ---

I can either be productive and do my taxes or take a nappy poo. _Flips Coin_ Dang! Nappy poo chose heads and heads it is. Iā€™m disappointed because I _really_ no, I mean it, _really_ wanted to do my taxes. However, the coin toss says otherwise. Oh well. Nappy Poo time! ---

> [@FairyChatMom](#): > > Stolen from Wikipedia: > We need a purification ritual. No goats or squid - it must be pure. I suggest we begin with a thorough shower using Ivory soap. Itā€™s 99 44/100% pure, you know! > > Next? I remember a cartoon I saw when I was little that someone had posted to the wall of their kitchen back home. Donā€™t remember which kitchen though. Think it may have been from an old copy of the New Yorker or such. It showed all these rich looking people around a pool with the ladies fainting and men running around in panic and one guy rushing up with a net and under it it said: ā€œThe day the bar of Ivory Soap sunkā€ That is a little odd of a flashback even for me. Where in my brain that one was or why it was still there I donā€™t know but I can picture it even now. Back at work (I hope) basically for real. The best Iā€™ve done since Christmas was maybe a 10 hour week. I have the comp and vacation time and the boss is OK with me but I feel guilty. So will just be driving through the Dope here and there for now. ---

8F? Huh. My car doesnā€™t much like starting at that temp without the heater having been plugged in. I still donā€™t know why it decided to be so awesome the morning after the power outage and start up like nothing ever happened when it had gotten down to about 0. I nearly cried. Seriously. I need to go purify my kitchen and bathroom floors. Theyā€™re a mess. ---

I did nap **BioRosie**! After nappy poo time I buckled down and did my taxes. See. I did both! Itā€™s just that, when I did my taxes, I didnā€™t allow anything else to persuade me to toss a coin. Itā€™s called discipline. Ok, itā€™s called couldnā€™t think of anything else to do instead. Still, I did my taxes and thatā€™s productive. Now, you just take back that glare of disapproval. šŸ˜› ---
