Researching my local school board trustee candidate. One dude's top priority is "balance the budget". Ugh... You'd think something directly education related would come first, but not for this guy.

If you're a online store that specializes in sunglasses, but your search and filters make no distinction between frame color and lens color, I assume you have no idea what you're selling.

So yesterday I bashed my foot into the corner of the bed, again. Feels like I broke a pinky toe, again. Sigh...

I haven't seen a single Mark Sutcliffe sign on someone's lawn between downtown and Beacon Hill. Whoever ends up voting for him around here, it won't be with much enthusiasm. But how the fuck is Tierney still so damn popular? So many lawn signs!

Sometimes I just want to tell my AuDHD to go fuck itself. One small change in my routine, and I managed to lose my work keys and my MFA tokens. Thanks brain. Real helpful. /s

You know it's autumn when the lawn obsessed neighbor starts using the noisy gas mower to pick up the few dozen leaves on his property.

Few weeks ago I thought I heard something fall off my bike and I couldn't for the life of me figure out what it was. I think I figured it today, rear wheel reflector is missing.

This workweek was the first time I worked five full days in the office since... It was before Covid for sure. Possibly before 2020? Summer 2019 maybe?

Last night I was feeling like I needed extra rest so I went to bed early. Of course, my body woke me up early. Only got 6.5 hours of sleep like usual. Got to work early so at least I get to leave work early.

Somehow I've tolerated collared shirts for the past 20-ish years, but lately, I'm finding them unbearable to wear again. Last winter I barely wore my flannels, and opted to wear sweaters most the time. Today I got fed up of my shirt and switched back to the t-shirt I wore on this morning commute […]

The same asshole cut me off three times and we still ended up at the same traffic light 3km later. Dude, just chill the fuck out or quit driving. It's not a fucking race.

Ideally one goes camping to spend time outdoors but today isn't a good day for that.
