Getting up at 5 AM now instead of 5:30 AM. Hoping to beat some of the traffic. I may take an extra twenty minutes to avoid the highways.

This post is for casual conversation if you don’t feel like making a post of your own.

Went to the teeth doctor this morning so now my teeth feel wrong but look great lmao.

On a more autistic note, ever since the Pirate Software debacle a couple months ago even tho I despise this dickweed the phrase “Eat my entire ass” has been stuck in my head n I can’t get it out. It’s just so… I don’t have a word for it, it just fucks, y'know?

I got up at 7:30 to be early for work, my clothing was still wet from being hang dried last night, so I tossed it in the dryer. I took a shower while it was drying, by the time I was done, my clothes were still damp.

I then decided to go to work by motorcycle to save some time thinking I'd be early, I got stuck in 40 minutes of unexpected traffic and arrived 20 minutes late anyway, with still wet clothing underneath my motorcycle gear.

I was suppose to have a dentist appointment today but fuck me they canceled yesterday. Love they can cancel without 24 hours notice but not me. Grouse grouse.

Now I have appointments for every single Tuesday in November. Delightful.

We might go to the Asian Supermarket with the time now instead. We want more chicken stock powder among other things.
