Today I have... Thread.

Today I spent almost an hour and a half on hold with my student loan servicer just to get hung up on by the machine and forced to the back of the queue when I called again.

This is some next-level bullshit.

I've been there.

Today, I tried non-alcoholic beer for the first time. I had a few sips, then I decided it was incredibly unique and exceptional. I could not finish the bottle.

Near beer is basically pisswater without the only desirable part of most pisswater beers - the buzz

This was Labatt non-alcoholic. The flavor was a bouquet of chlorine and bleach.

Jesus, Labatt Blue is already bad. It's the "Oh god, there's really NOTHING else to drink?" of Canadian beers.

And naturally, I just now learn about this since they do not sell Labatt in my part of the country.

Molson and Moosehead are... well, drinkable I guess. They tried fobbing off Labatt Blue on America at times, they probably figured "Well, those fucking dumb shits drink crap like Old Milwaukee and Natty Ice. Might be worth a shot."

Today I got some seeds to start planting my pepper garden. Weather's just about right to get started on that.

Today I've been sick for three days in a row and I'm ready for this shit to pass. Work hasn't been very understanding either, they couldn't fathom why I didn't think it was a good idea to come in running 101 and on sleep meds.

Today I found a dead kitten on the side of the road, put it in a plastic bag, then drove to an overgrown field where I laid it to rest in the tall grass and flowers.

That's more respect than I've ever seen locally.

LOL, I thought people were going to laugh at it/think it's creepy. I felt sketchy as hell staring at it as people walked by.

Knocked on two doors to ask if anybody was missing a brown striped kitten, but I wasn't going to go searching all day.


P.S. I didn't bury the kitten, to clarify, I just literally laid it out in the grass so a coyote can eat it without anybody having to see it. That's what nature would have wanted.

Replaced 3 doorknob sets.
Rebuilt most of the home network.
Fixed the dryer from where the thermostats burned out.
Measured all the doorways to eventually replace the doors.
Fixed the lawn mower.
Took a nap.

Dropped off one of the weirdest applications I've ever filled out. Also, now that I have a tool that I was missing before (air dusters) I can start using cannibalized parts from my old computer to troubleshoot the new one. Canned air is some weird shit.

I put up some curtains.

I got prescribed some strong pain meds that i'm not sure I actually want to take. (Cause of pain, Hemorrhaging cyst on adrenal gland or adrenal gland infection, still not 100% positive)

Today, I discovered that the turn signal bulbs I bought earlier this year to replace my older ones may have been the wrong kind as they were for a different voltage battery than the one in my car. I hope that getting the proper bulbs installed eliminates the random occurrences where my blinkers flash at regular speed, then faster, then regular again ad infinitum.

After learning I had all the correct bulbs for my car, I ordered a new flasher module as the next logical - and cheapest - candidate for DIY replacement.

Today, I installed the new flasher and it seems to have fixed my irregular blinking issue. On the down side, the front trim and the part that holds the flasher in place is in such bad shape, I had to make an interim fix with electrical tape and super glue while realizing it may need to be entirely replaced the next time it's removed.

I'm not a doctor, but I would tell you not to grin & bear it: there's nothing to be gained from suffering through any pain you might have - it dumps stress hormones into your blood and puts a strain on your whole body. At the same time, if you don't need opiates, it's better not to play with 'em. If you're in pain and must take 'em, consider cycling them 2 days on/2 days off and using something like cannabis or kratom on your off days.

I hope you feel better soon.

Today we went out to eat thai food and see John Wick 3 with the family.

Sitting in my tornado shelter...literally shaking.
