After we got back into town, Mr. K and I took Mother to lunch. It was a gorgeous day. When I got back home, I did a few loads of laundry, treadmill, and read. I’m now into season two of 12 Monkeys on the treadmill tele. It’s a fun ride. Soon, I’ll be walking outside again – yay! – which will render my tv time close to zero. Who has time?

When I lunged and immediately threw this in the cart, Mother said, “There’s something wrong with you!”

Why are the algos stalking me?
Hello?
New t-shirt who dis?
What a charming event! We took a road trip to see the GenX Takeover Show. We got the tickets for free and had no idea who was performing. I didn’t realize that it was famous people from TikTok until we actually sat down and saw the pre-show slideshow. Wow! A lot of the people who make me giggle daily were up on stage, and we had second row seats. Lots of giggles and I hardly stopped smiling. The performers were all unpolished – with notecards! – and kinda shocked to discover themselves suddenly famous and touring the country doing shows. Their unpolished and kinda nervous nature made it even more cute and engaging. Funniest line? Kelly Manno describing putting on eyeliner in middle age like decorating a ballsack. I cackled! Highly recommended if it’s coming near you. I think they are headed your way next, Chicago peeps.
I had to buy a t-shirt!!! I’m fangirling hard!
We’re young and fun!
I don’t want my new micro e-reader to get hurt in the travel bag, so I shoved it in a sock. As one does.
I’m wearing a hoodie outside!
Road Trip Fantasy
We are off on a road trip adventure today. We got free tickets to a comedy event panel thingy. It should be fun!
Have you steamed your eggs today?
Made me cackle!
I feel like paper magazines are gonna make a comeback soon. And I’m here for it!
Forever mood
Cut to me finding and correcting mistakes that were made five years ago. The good news is that now that I’ve discovered the issue, I have added a step to my quarterly checklist to make sure it never goes unnoticed again. I get things done!
Gonna need a new index card for “check back of ears for hair!” I discovered one today that was like four inches long. I could have hung a bead from it. I’m sure it was flapping in the breeze at my interview also. WTH?
I decided to make the bee design my screen saver also. I’m very busy today!
I’m bringing sexy back
Because I’m a lil’ extra, I made an insert to tuck into the clear case of my new prezzie. Yes, I’m up two hours past my bedtime.
My X4 is here! Praise the LORT! New prezzie!
I just ordered a mini shop vac so that I can vacuum my shoes. As one does. The rub is that I used to own one of these, and they are infinitely handy. I accidentally lost the vacuum when I sold my camper. It was in my camper’s storage cubby (I suspect) and off it went. Dang! I absolutely hate it when I get dust or mud splatter on my shoes. And now that leather shoes no longer exist, and everything is made from mesh of canvas, shoes look like hell in no time flat. I’ve gotten in the habit of power washing my shoes in the bathtub, but they take many days to dry. That mesh soaks up water like a sponge. I had the wild idea that I could use a upholstery wet-dry vac tool to spot clean my shoes. This lead me down a research rabbit-hole and then on to the more simple wet-dry vac. I think I can achieve my goals with this and a spray bottle, versus buying a more expensive machine. Plus, I can use this for other things. We’ll see!
