Make A Random Statement About Something Nobody Should Care About

[ER]

My children were out with their dad and grandparents last night at an event outside of the area and didn't get home until two-plus hours after their normal bedtime and they were groggy this morning so I put dry dog food in bowls (no milk) and set them on the table a safe distance away so they wouldn't actually eat any, in order to see how fast they'd notice. The answer is "longer than I thought."

My husband sighed and reminded me they're the ones who'll choose our retirement home one day.

Still, I love science experiments.

Kroger makes these Low Cow Lite Ice Creams that are around 240 calories and 20 grams of sugar for an entire pint, and they're not bad for $3.99 (BOGO right now). If you eat them straight out of the case they are like frosted malts, but if you let them melt they get creamy and are a lot better. The birthday cake one tastes like icing out of a can. Good stuff, and whatsmore I see no mention of "Might Cause Genetic Mutations" on the label. Glad of that.

Happy Friday the 13th everyone. Enjoy the full moon and try not to get sliced and diced by any mask-wearing mama's boys.

For the record, Friday the 13th got a reputation for bad luck when on october 13, 1307, king Phillip of France,  aka "Philip the fair" attacked the knights Templar and arrested hundreds of them, many of whom we're tortured into confessing to heresy and executed often  by burning at the stake.

This was s done to let Philip rob the templars of their vast  wealth.

So unless you're  a Templar knight you have little to fear from Friday the 13th.

funny thing...
Decided to google this, & realized the Templar flag is the same as the official KKK flag (which is not the Confederate flag like most people think, even though they use it a lot).

I love my contradictory nature.

Joyyyyy!

A month has passed and tomorrow I have to go talk to the psychologist my job mandates for all of us per employment requirements, so she can stick a psychic thermometer in my head and evaluate how crazy I must be to stay with what I and all the rest of us who cash their faithfully-delivered paychecks do for them, and being prone to both hopeless over-sharing and peculiarly unasked for honesty (like, uh, now for instance) I will self-report to her about an incident that disturbed me this week when an employee of my other job told me something so immensely breath-suckingly awful I had this instinctive impulse to shut her up by any means I could, not limited to putting my hand over her mouth, which I struggled not to do and only turned and walked away wondering if I was going to scream or hurl or fire her or quit on the spot (trust me, the story she told was the worst thing I think I've ever heard in my entire life, raw material for nightmares and mid-day panic attacks) and while there in the mind-doctor's medical office I will be encouraged to go into that incident and tell about "how did that make you feel" so I will and it'll be worse to tell than it was to hear about, and when I leave her friendly but spider-like presence I'll feel way worse than when I went in, knowing nothing said there is confidential like it should be but all to be reported to those we both work for, but also I'll feel elevated that I won't have to go back and see her for four weeks, and I'll buy myself a Wendy's chocolate frosty or a new Yankee candle scent pouch for my car, to, you know, cheer me up on my long drive home, battle scarred and wondering if this was the occasion I told too her much and will hear about it down the road at my next job performance review when I'm so gadayt close to retiring.

In short, as I always conclude at these contemplative moments, I really should have become a nun.

We have tickets and me and my brother are going to see Ozzy + Judas Priest next year. It's only been 27 years since I last managed to get my hands on tickets (and these ones no considerably more expensive, by around 400%).

Also going to see Gary Numan later this month, although I am not excited about the support act.

It's five-something AM, and the moon is beautiful.

I slept till 8:30 this morning - rare for me to snooze that late!
Yesterday must have tired me out more than I realized.

My credit card # was stolen again. Seems to be happening about once a year now. 

They attempted some really dumb suspicious charges---three different bookings at airbnbs in the UK. Pretty obviously fraudulent. That might be their game, though---if I let obviously fake charges slide, then they know I'm paying zero attention to the account.

Trying my hand at sweet potato hummus. Can't decide if to use tortilla chips or pretzel crackers for dipping.

Tune in next week when I try my hand at carrot hummus.

It's so hot here - even at 6:40 pm - that I'm having an ice cold beer. Just one, though.
