@Tarnagh then, too. Especially if I'm shopping for something for myself.

It would probably help my productivity today if starting a new task didn't start playing the Mission Impossible theme music in my head.

Can we just all agree now that Snoop Dogg is the official LA28 mascot?

Somehow me craving Lucky Charmed turned into ordering dinner from McDonald's.
I'm not entirely sure how I ended up here.

The Daycare knows.
Daycare on Daycare violence? Yes please.

$situation_appropriate_mood Monday, everyone.

Monday is going to be . . .

The cognitive dissonance in my chats and inbox between the business-as-usual automated emails and case nightmare green messaging from people fighting dead systems all night long.

Oh, the waterfall is back . . .

When the bands of ran went through a little earlier today, with the curtains drawn, the thought that entered my head was something like:
"How lovely it sounds in my secret lair UNDER the waterfall."
Except I'm in Virginia Beach. And on one of the highest points of land with houses on it (which my watch kindly suggests in 9 m under sea level).

@AskTheDevil I hear ya. I think it's more I have a decreased musical need and am just looking for some background noise working from home.
Knowing how tech manipulates (and I don't want to talk about ny role in that) I can usually ignore, but that stream was deeply lonely.

@Victor wouldn't this mean this whole timeline is was a rejected plot by William Gibson?

Whatever algorithm is creating the playlist today seems to want emphasize the bit where I'm home alone working.
Yes, I know I'm home alone working, you don't need to remind me.

Realized I had left a cookie on the top.of the espresso machine. It had been there about 8 hours. I ate it. It was a somewhat pleasant surprise.

Small crowd this year. The last of the cars just cleared the street.

I'm a mile from one of the city fireworks displays, but because of the trees and I can't see anything. The fun always starts after the show, when we get to bet on how long traffic will be stuck behind the house. The record is about 12:47.

So, how is everyone's Friday going so far?

Yesterday's Coffee Cup.

While getting things going this morning, I ran into the coffee cup I left out yesterday. The phase Yesterday's Coffee Cup hit my head and I couldn't help but think that would have been a perfect name for a band, album or title of a song in the 90s.
Actually a little disappointed I didn't find anything.
Happy Friday. May today's coffee be better than yesterday's, or at least better than what was left in the bottom of the cup from yesterday.

@damselfly59 just a few dumb things all hitting at the same time on a Monday.

I am getting to the part of this Monday where I realize I am the only one on this away mission wearing a red shirt.
