It is Friday. But I still have 10 hours or a bit more before I will be home and hopefully resting.

I am ready to end the work week … but today is half complete and i still have tomorrow’s 10-hour shift to tackle.

Successfully (zero scorching) microwave-popped multiple bags of popcorn for 24 kids for movie day for the class of 2nd graders! Go ME.

… 2026 California primary polls just closed. Go blue … Hopeful. !

Survived day 1 of my 4-day work week.

I like 60-65*F Afternoons being 90-95+ are too too much.

1970s/1980s advertisements… (without cheat-oogling) Identify product: This is a good place for a stickup!

One of my games kept popping up ads for a product that “cleans your toilet for ten years” I have searched the web over for a realistic review of said product and finally found a believable review. www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/r...

I will be very very happy once he is dead and no longer taking over my internetting.

Thursday! This is the halfway point of the work week. 10 hrs today (technically 8hrs 50min remaining) 10 tomorrow and then I can chill!

Had been waiting for epub copy of Joe Hill’s KING OF SORROW To be available from the library… The day after I started reading-reading Stephen King’s Cycle of the Werewolf, I get the alert to KoS being ready to borrow. 📚💙 #booksky l

While I am extremely glad to see (more) people paying attention… I woke up and separated from my parent’s political views in 1998.

😁

Dinner was Chicken and Rice soup, made with the help of a packet… And sour dough grilled cheese sandwiches. Our weather changed drastically from the high 80F and sunny weather. I think the clouds and cool temp started Sunday? Either way, I LOVE IT.

Woke up frequently, once around 4:30a.m.-5:40a.m., drifted back to sleep and woke up around 7:00– from a dream in which I was tending to “a herd* of pigs”. It turns out that my spouse was snoring, loudly! *Then I started typing and thought— “herd” is not the correct word— what is the term? ⬇️

Home. Nice dinner with the neighbors, ate too much. Drank About more than needed. 😁💜🩷🩵💙

Going to have dinner and beverages with the neighbors!

Furley the Maine Coon stole my seat when I got up to use (the W.C.)

I'm so sick of the "cats just see you as a food dispenser" takes. I worked in a vet clinic, and it's definitely not true. If you take good care of your cat, they really do love you in a simple cat way. How do I know? Cats are actually very social; they naturally live in colonies.

Monday night dinner! 🍽️ please call ahead with your RSVP by 09:00 Monday 25 May. Seating and quantities are limited. It is a joke. It is a joke! I am NOT really inviting people.

7:47am: I guess I should get out of bed now.

No truer words were ever spoken...

A total U.S. surrender.
