Executive: so we want an amazing island-scape and wind farms and the SEC building and a castle and a dude on a horse and f’ing Nessie and everything! Artist: ok sure, remind me what your company does. Executive: laundry, obviously.

It has been a very, very long day, today.
A cat saying that it hopes it's not a long day, and a building with the name "Long day factory" in another picture behind it.

The darkness holds me, Too tight to sleep, The static in my head, Helps to keep, Me awake far too late, Another night broken, My eyes are shut, But my mind is open, Maybe tomorrow, I'll nod off more quickly, But I'll most likely be, Wide awake and still sickly. #Poem #Poetry #Insomnia

Making myself a cup of tea today and this was the message from Tetley. Is it some kind of tea-related pun that I don't understand, or did someone at the factory get bored and decide to start writing slightly suggestive messages to their customers??? #Tea #Tetley #Suggestive

It's a red letter day! The only time I manage this is when the shampoo runs out and I think there's not much conditioner left, then use so much that I end up feeling like an eel that's been swimming through baby oil, for the rest of the day.

Got #NewHeels. I've never worn 10 cm ones before, but thought it was time to branch out. They're not what I first ordered, because #OnlineSizing, but I think I prefer these ones, and they look even better in real life. Now just need to learn how to walk (or just stand up) without toppling.

Really wanted to offload about my workday when I got home tonight, but my partner had Things To Do™ that I couldn't interrupt her with and talking would, apparently, have made it hard to think. But that didn't stop her telling me about how crap her day was in great detail while she Did The Things™.

Monday - a poem. #Poetry #Poem
Monday - a poem. 

Monday, Monday, Monday, 
So bad I named it thrice, 
I'd skip it if I had a chance, 
It really isn't nice. 

Maybe instead we'll go from, 
The last day of the week, 
To some time during Tuesday,
It wouldn't feel so bleak, 

But then if we just skipped it, 
I guess that could be bad,
Another day would take its place, 
And I'd feel just as sad.

Just rereading Project Hail Mary and noticed this, written on the back cover. I can't imagine that the current President of the USA can actually read, let alone recommend books - unless they have a lot of pictures, and words with less than three syllables!
Part of the back cover of Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir which says:
A Barack Obama book of the year 
A line astronaut. 
An impossible mission. 
An ally he never imagined.

Nights are the worst time, A torrent of unwanted thoughts, Rolling around in my head. Sleep is hard to find, Terrible things of all sorts, What was that thing you said? I think it feels like a crime, Trying to rest comes to nought, I'll just lie awake in bed. #Poem #Poetry #StillTired
