Yeah, I could do that, but I'm paralyzed with not caring very much.

Our wings are not tired.

Happy birthday to your mom, -t! It is also my step-dad's 89th birthday, and my SIL's (brother's widow) 70th. I was going to go over and bring her fancy pastries from the Italian market but my body had other plans. (I had packed my suitcase to go there for a few days before giving up and pulling out my slippers.)

Most unhappy belly last night and today. I'm working on a cup of coffee and toast and we'll see how it goes.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Aw, happy birthday to your relatives! Mom is 83 today

I can pick up a charger and cables at Walmart at noon, so I guess I will have a full day of work after all. But lunch break will have to happen, that's always good.

The new zipper YKK just developed has our family all abuzz. A technological advance I did not expect!

Having an extra charger isn’t a bad thing, though a full day of work is probably excessive, lol

Exactly my thoughts. Although a full day of having the laptop on in case someone needs to contact me while futzing around isn't so bad

DH left his laptop cord in NY, so he got one of those fits a bunch of different models type at Walmart on the road. Worthwhile purchase that he can just leave in the car.

There's a new zipper? I didn't know the current model could be improved upon!

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

Not excited about the bloodsucking but the enhanced mobility would be pretty cool.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Raise your hand if you read this in the context of zippers at first. (No? Just me then)
