Pulled up a dead perennial from the garden & learned too late there's a fire ant nest underneath it.

Then the kindergartener blundered over in bare feet & shorts.

After we were both hosed off & smeared with Cortisone, I caught my thumb in the gate latch & tore a chunk from it.

That's enough outside for today.

I need a good eyebrow tutorial. Mine keep ending up like Mr. Bean's.

Ellen Datlow liked a tweet I made about a neighborhood cat and I might be hyperventilating right now.

Why are "Cease and Desist" letters sent out? Cease and desist basically both mean "stop", so it's like you're sending out a "Stop and Stop" letter...

"Cease" means to stop what you were doing. "Desist" means don't do it again. IANAL.

Yesterday on the neighborhood app: Our husky got loose, please keep an eye out!

Today on the neighborhood app: Does this husky that showed up in our yard belong to anyone?

Happy ending!

And do *NOT* mix up your implements!

You might break your flyswatter trying to shovel the driveway. It might make you feel like a nimrod.

Right now it is our annual, too-brief respite from my nemeses, the palmetto bugs.

Where I live it's bug season all year.

I need to get up earlier if I want any peace. The minute certain people are up in this house it's noise because they can't be alone with their own thoughts. I'm tired of having to run a fan to block it out. I had to do that in an apartment; shouldn't have to here. But that's part of living with people.
