Maybe I’ll start doing something better with my time, like fucking vacuuming. I’ve resigned that I cannot keep up with this house, or even the portion of it I live in, nor can I afford help. So sometimes I play stupid games. So it goes.

Thank you. I miss all of you.

A lot of my life requires me to be vigilant, unbreechable, multi-capable, functional without backup, handling frequent challenges I’ve never faced before.

When people do things like the above for me, I get to be small, protected, supported, and soft.

It’s a huge relief. I’m deeply grateful.

3. My local ex-bf has accepted the job of fixing my foundation issue for a much more comprehensible price than the big companies wanted. His work is always excellent, his ethics are absolute, and I’m so grateful and relieved that I get to put that whole issue into his care.

2. As for the battery, the auto parts store clerk GAVE me a replacement battery even though I objected that it wasn’t mis-manufactured, it was ruined by someone else’s slick idea. They insisted. They called it a warranty issue. I’m a customer for life now.

1. A friend called in a favor to get my tractor running. Someone else had done a shady thing that ruined its new battery. That person figured it out, fixed the wiring, and with another new battery, now it starts right up. He wouldn’t even take money for helping, just his fave beer I got for him.

Chips tend to freeze really well. If you get a big bag, you can portion control into ziplocks and keep the forbidden ones in the freezer for freshness. It’s better than supporting Amazon.

Is that to say yes, you ordered on Amazon?

Wellp, now you know why to expect that to happen again.

That way,
1. The manufacturer loses money from lots of product being sold below cost on deal.
2. The distributor faces no consequence for their actions.
3. The perceived value of the product diminishes because it is available too cheaply.
4. You get stale product.
5. Amazon enriches billionaires.

Did you order on Amazon? Because that’s to be expected from Amazon. Snack food distributors regularly over-order inventory when manufacturers place products on deal. Then, when the distributors don’t sell through the product in time, they sell them cheaply on Amazon, competing with the manufacturer.

In this case, yes. Usually, no. I’m still grieving the em dash post.

Feeling cute. Might stab for body heat later, IDK.
