The Octopus Gallery

I need to figure out what to do about this arm thing but the thought of more life admin right now it fucking irritating. I didn’t think I did THAT much with the drywall repair yesterday (didn’t even mud!) and I’ve got increased numbness today. I’m hoping sleeping is possible tonight

My husband used to joke that I should run for office because of that same affliction.

That must be a wild one to have to put on the intake form every time you see a new doctor!

Apparently it's mostly techs handling lab mice.

Same, actually! the two walls left in the kitchen after the house got flipped are all cupboard.

Herpesviridae - Wikipedia

Traumatizing my spouse by just randomly stating new facts I'm learning from the wiki page on herpes family viruses.

Did you know that humans can catch mouse herpes? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herpesv...

so I knew shingles/chicken pox is a herpes family virus but didn't know what measles was (other than not being herpes family). I just learned it's closely related to mumps and canine distemper and a recently eradicated cattle disease called rinderpest.

I love to have the pot holders on hooks. Makes grabbing them so much faster

How scaly do the scales have to be? Do plecos count as scaled?

I suppose it's a good thing there hasn't been a rush on birds.

I was just like "why the fuck isn't my wool here yet. It's coming from Kentucky" and it's because USPS routed it through Chicago and New Jersey for mysterious reasons.

a lot of delightful identity porn if that's your thing

Decided to go with Etsy for least dodgy.

Why are all of the reputable places out of the thing I want to buy and I'm just left with possibly dodgy eBay or Etsy listings?

This is our second experiment in going from an all volunteer board to a management company. The first time was just accounting help which went VERY poorly. But the pres is overwhelmed and wants to outsource a bunch of shit so here we are.

lol our new HOA management company [spits] sent a welcome letter with typos in it.

CVS let me roll up and get it but I think they turned down my husband.

PM: Give me a couple of days.
Me: YOU HAVE HAD MONTHS.

Me: so like, are you going to install my solar this year or nah? Like, here is every point at which you have fucked up and delayed this project and I've got 2 available weeks. Also, here's 2 other people who are getting installs who started their project after me.
PM: Uh, I'm talking to management.

I'm always impressed af at the detailing people can do on figures like this! I am not a detail painter lol

I just think it's WILD that I had it four times and I didn't get offered the shot until I got dx with T2 diabetes. Like, maybe after the third time???

Should I be reading the library book I have due in a week? Yes.

Will I be reading a 100K Tim/Kon fic I’ve already read once instead? Also yes.

I had a reaction to the pneumonia vaccine that had my arm red for like 3 weeks and that was STILL better than the four times I've had pneumonia.

I have dropped your name as part of my "Fix this" in "This is a person who started their project after me and is getting an install today" so 🤞

I believe it's a Kindle Unlimited book which means the ebook is exclusively on Kindle. Same reason it doesn't show up available in Libby.

Oh, cuz drivers give a shit about paint. SIGH.

I suppose it depends on your space but I don’t like the feel of these compared to my Fiskars so they’d just go unused at mine
