And now sleeping brain is back to "being dumped" and "on the subway without a mask" and "being dumped while on the subway not wearing a mask".

For fuck sake, brain.

On the plus side I was taking the subway to visit my Guelph peeps, so that part was nice. They were kind enough to lend me a bathrobe because I forgot to wear pants.

To be fair, the ( Read more... )

The Gin Palace has been re-organizing a bit - I have some of my mother's new furniture, we have set me up with a permanent office upstairs away from the cats, and we have given away Carlin's old tank. So it made sense to shuffle the furniture around and try to find a configuration that works a little better in the space we have.

And since we're ( Read more... )

I was sitting at my desk yesterday and something big buzzed by my head. I lost track of it until later when I was in the bathroom and happened to raise my eyes to the top of the door. Not a great position to be in when one discovers that something very large and spiky is sitting there watching you. (At least I wasn't asleep this time?)

Work gave company laptops to our entire department, which should hopefully help with some of the slowness and clunkiness of working remotely. I had to go into the office yesterday to pick it up, so while I was there I cleared out my desk. I mean, I don't know that I'm going to be moved when this is all over, but I ( Read more... )

"I have an exam today and I forgot to study" anxiety dream has apparently been supplanted by "I'm on a crowded city street and I forgot my mask at home" anxiety dream. I've been getting them a couple of times a week - last night I was at a birthday party inexplicably being held on a street corner.

The story behind this thing is that I brought back a mixed basket of plants from my mother's funeral. They got left behind at my mother's house and by the time I retrieved them most of the plants had died. I was able to revive a kolanchoe and cordyline and they doing really well now.

When I repotted the cordyline there was a tiny shoot of green ( Read more... )

Not entirely sure what's going on, but there is some machine that turns the terrain into so much powder, and it's operating directly behind my back yard.

Me: Sorts out three boxes, one of items to sell, one of items to give away, one of items that belong to other people and must be returned.

Axel: Puts a stack of random objects in one of the boxes because he "didn't have any other place to put them."

I'm convinced there isn't a jury in the country that would convict me.

One of my co-workers brought in a radio and have decided to play a Xmas music radio station all day every day.

I have already heard three different versions of "I'll be home for Christmas" today and it's not even noon. Kill me now.
