    I am currently playing around with my new laptop. Yes! It finally came this morning, and I am so happy. I have a lot of updates to install, and not all of my files saved so I'm a little disappointed about that. At least my novel saved, I would be a wreck right now if it didn't. :meh:

    Oh No! You should not have killed it. I would have tried to catch it and bring it outside. Yes, they are disgusting, but they can't help that they are.

    Dunno. Saw spoor today that I think may have been from a mountain lion. One was recently spotted locally

    No, if it was spotted, that wasn't a mountain lion. Probably a leopard... :cool:

    Trying to catch up with all that I missed during my time away from this site. Also contemplating changing my avatar to a pic of my current cat.

    Looking at the date of these posts, and the corona virus coming only a few months later I would go along with some sort of prepping of their populace theory like you advanced.

    I'm having the weirdest, most inconvenient conversation ever through messenger. I mean... wow... I'm speechless. I hope I won't fuck it up, because I really wasn't prepared for something like that. I don't know how to handle it. Not the least bit. I'm facepalming myself as I go. Perhaps I should just... log out? Or would this be wrong? Idk!

    Damning my impatience for buying a TV just because it was in stock and available for next day pick-up, instead of paying an extra £50, waiting a week, and getting the far superior 4K UHD model.

    meditating on how much I don't want to do what I need to finish...I am so sick of it! :nosleep:

    :superthink: I need to focus on it, so that I can finish it and make it go away, rather than being here writing about how I should be writing about it :supershock:

    Relaxing on the couch with a reward beer after one long ass week. A blissful 38 hours and 45 minutes until the restaurant is open again.

    I know the feeling, I just picked up some hours on Saturdays. I don't work eleven hour days, there are some breaks in the middle, but work starts at 9 am and finishes at 8pm Mon-Thursday, 9-5 Fridays, and now I've subtracted another day from my life.

    Money money, no real pay raises in this gig, just add more hours boy.

    Closing Sundays when we reopened was huge. And killing lunch. We went from 76 hours of service to 34 with the Covid curfew. I've got the work week down to a tolerable 55 hours or so, but the texts and phonecalls never stop.

    Drinking a nice Cotes du Rhone in the library of my new house and entering month end inventory numbers into Excel at 3am. Not my particular idea of a wild night, but I knocked off two hours of my work day tomorrow while drinking wine and screwing around on the forum. Not a bad trade off!

    I think I should move this to the "Not Happy Thread" :supershock: I managed to elegantly procrastinate today too . . . :supermad:

    it is even scary just how easy it was . . .

    I’m only 48 pages into ‘The Marquis Lafayette Reconsidered’ by Laura Auricchio and good lord, that man was as naive as a small child when he came over in 1777.

    Let me break this passage down to modern terms:

    Mauroy: “Hey, uh, y’know, bud, the American are basically no better than we European are. In fact, they’re actually WORSE because they brought along all the ancestral bias and prejudices from their home countries to an unspoiled New World and they’re just tearing through it with no effs given. Just saying, don’t be surprised if—“

    Lafayette: “No, shut up! They’re sublime, perfect, joyful creatures who hold each others hands and sing about liberty and freedom and brotherhood! I won’t listen to your shit-talk on them la la la la la la la”

    Mauroy: :bigmeh:

    *later, they land on North Island and are escorted to Major Huger’s house by, um, his slaves*

    Mauroy: “My point exactly.”

    Lafayette: “Woo! America is so beautiful and sublime! ❤ Everyone loves each other!“
