And now we have this: Vintage Brand new Guitar Shape Cake Pan
Do words not have meaning?
Coffee and dicking about on the internet time. On Marketplace, this gem: MODERN 2 STORY BASEMENT LOFT FOR RENT
WTF is a basement loft? Do words no longer have meaning? Curious, I opened the ad. It's a typical basement apartment with one room on the main floor of a multi-story building. It's not even 7:30am and already I want to bitchslap somebody.
Just heard of a family friend's death at 61 of early onset Alzheimer's. What a cruel disease. 💔
Partner tested negative for Covid this morning! #Huzzah #HappyTears

If today is a day of joy for you, may your celebrations be wonderful.

If today is a day of memory, may it bring comfort and peace.

If today is just another day, may it be the best it possibly can.

Remembering Dad with love tonight. He was an OB-GYN and a talented pianist. At this time of year, he would don the Santa suit and visit the children's ward of his hospital, playing Christmas tunes on the piano for kids who could get to the common room and visiting the others at their bedsides. He never told his own kids of this charitable act; I learned of it after he passed. He was a fine man and I am lucky to have had such a great Pops.
Happy Festivus to those who celebrate! Bring on the Feats of Strength and the Airing of Grievances. I am revelling in the Festivus Miracle of a cup of coffee that stayed hot without nuking this morning.
For years I have been wanting to downsize; this house where we raised our four kids is a lot to keep up! But today, with partner coughing and sneezing those 'rona germs, I am grateful to have plenty of space to give that phlegmy guy wide berth.
I still wish Masto and other services had the concept of a 'Mea Culpa' button that someone (can't remember who) came up with, so if you said something that you later realise is factually wrong, or you do something stupid, you can just hit the button and permanently flag the post so others know, which is a much more socially elegant way of handling a mistake than deleting a post.
Bugger. Partner has now tested positive for Covid. He was quite surprised, as he is feeling better today. I'm testing negative and feeling fine so far. But this means we won't be gathering for granddaughter's first birthday or Christmas. And it's a good thing we don't celebrate our anniversary, as 35 is just around the corner. Bugger. Bugger. Bugger.
