Things That Are Just Annoying

If I had that job, I'd probably start by wiping the drive.

If I had a re-installation CD, I would have done that.  But given it's an Acer that will not boot from a USB, that's a bit tricky now.

I have a sort of large, obviously caused by an impact bruise on my right thigh.  It doesn't hurt, or doesn't hurt enough to be noticed over my knees, right hip, and left lower back.  What bothers me is I have no freaking idea how it got that.

This has either gotten larger or I have a 2nd in the same place.  Almost worth going to the clinic over.

I'm having a hell of a time getting moving today.  See how I feel in an hour or so once the drugs kick in.

There is a reason I do as much of my texting via my browser with a grammar checker installed, and no autocorrect.  While my phone doesn't normally screw up, its predictive keyboard is a bit weird occasionally.

Yeah, really! Chickens don't have vaginas, they have a cloaca - well, not just one total, one per chicken. 

IT has been pointed out elsewhere that James T. Kirk would not have cared; he would have had sex with the green chicken lady alien.

My newest office chair is starting to have issues.  Not major, but the left-hand arm rest is coming loose.  As it happens, once I pay either my medical bills or Pennsic registration fee, then medical bill, depending, I was planing on getting another for the “laptop's desk”. The newer one will go on the main desk and the one that I currently have will go on the “not used as much” desk.  Meh.  Was something I was planing on doing anyway, so I just have a little bit of urgency in getting it now.  Might not just get the cheapest on the River Store website and do a little research into what they are made of.

My brain is fried this morning.  For some reason, I thought it was Saturday and sent out may “D&D Game Sunday…” message.   And I've had a pot of tea.  Today may be a caffeine pill day.

Well, crap.  I forgot to take my morning drugs when I got up.  Took them a few moments ago.  This means I'm going to have to stay up longer than normal, so I don't overdose on Lamictal.   I was told that to make sure that at least 10 hours were between doses. Ideally 12. Less than optimal.  I suspect I'll spend some quality time with Daz Studio this evening.

Last time I checked, the rain was forecast to happen around 9.  I didn't recheck before I went for a walk.  Should have.  I got rained on starting at about the 2/3 mark.  Not a hard rain, but enough to make it less than pleasant.  The current forecast is rain/thunderstorms until 6.  See what happens.

Looked out the window a bit ago and could see the rain streaming down, blown practically sideways...

.... and nothing was getting wet.

It wasn't rain. It was pollen particles from the trees.

Thankfully, we are over most tree pollen problems in Small City, Kansas.  It was rough a few weeks ago, I'll give you that.  This weekend, including Friday, are sub 4 on the pollen scale.

Rain until 4:15. Knees are starting to say “BAD TOUCH”, so I took drugs.  Hopefully, they will kick in before the knees start yelling.  I'd like to get some more sleep tonight.

Currently, not raining.  The current forecast is it to start at 12:15 and last until 4:15 or so.  Radar shows a pretty good-sized front to the west of us, currently over Parsons.  My knees are still whimpering.

I'm sixty freaking five years old.  Why do I have a big ass zit on the point of my nose like I was 16 again?  I thought not having zits was one of the few _good_ things about growing old, as far as your body goes.  Great, I've got bad knees, my back hurts AND I've got this - thing - on my nose.

[mlooney 3,731]

I scratched my head, and now I'm bleeding again. Almost any place else on my body I could put a bandage on. Not for a wound under the hair. On the good news side of things, the storm front should pass in an hour or two, so my knees might stop whimpering at me.

I got my new chair in, but I don't have the spoons to put it together yet.  Maybe this afternoon.
