It's a good thing I like the taste of nutrition replacement shakes, because I have 3 cases of that stuff that I bought to try to get mom's hydration and energy up, and now I have to drink all of them. Vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry.

A robocaller just tried to get me to answer the phone by spoofing Texas Instruments on the caller ID. WTF? Who sees Texas Instruments and thinks "Oh, sorry, I have to take this call! Must be a microchip emergency!"?

I have a problem with how much characters with laser weapons always miss the target. It's literally a flashlight. If you can't hit a target with a flashlight, you've got bigger problems.

Suffering from an appetite dichotomy. I'm simultaneously hungry and completely full feeling at the same time. I would probably pound a whole bag of cheese puffs, just to keep shoving crunchy air in my pie hole. Definitely brain glitching today.

No shortage of people letting me know that I need to talk to a professional. Nothing's going to happen before Monday. I have to get past the funeral before I can start gluing my brain back together.

I decided that I wasn't going to be able to get my brain working enough to produce the video I wanted to make for mom's memorial with all the 8mm film and video. I was gonna make it an emotional ride with laughs and tears and almost a story, but I'm too messed in the head right now to finish in time

Been sticking with Mojave since mom had software she used that would stop working if I went higher, but now that she's gone, I'm having trouble making her memorial video with the older tools and I don't have time to upgrade and figure it all out.

Hooked up some old drives looking for an original photo. Drive was dragging my computer down. Everything going slow. I pulled the drive and gave the contacts a Deoxit squirt and ZOOM, it's going full speed. Just takes a little dust to screw it all up.

Watching The Outer Limits, you can really see the influence on later works. Some are very direct influences, like Time Traveler's Wife, and others are more like the hint of an idea that launched greatness, like The Terminator.

Prison for miscarriages. A woman miscarried in a fast food restaurant. She was arrested, her bail set at $100,000, which she didn’t have so they let her rot in jail for five months, while they determined that she did indeed have a miscarriage and didn’t do anything to cause it.

Ya ever find yourself eating a burrito and run you fingers through your hair to get it out of your face, only to realize your hand was covered in burrito juices? I'll be in the shower if you need me.

Tasted my beans. They're not ready, but I did have to taste them several times and go "MMmmmm" after every tasting. I think this is going to be a very good batch. Someday I'm going to have to write down what I put in them, but it's different every time.

Time to check the pot of beans. Not gonna lie. I MAY have hit the garlic a bit much. I haven't even eaten any and I can already smell the farts. There's a distinct hint of sulfur wafting through the house, and it ain't a gas leak. The gas leaking happens later.

Hanging up mom's last laundry seems utterly pointless now that she's gone, but the clothes have to go somewhere until I can deal with her stuff.

That storm last night must have been blowing a ton of fungus spores around. I was up until 5am tossing and turning. (fungus makes me super fidgety)

Was just watching a TV episode where a killer hurricane was wiping out the planet. As the storm was peaking, a MFing thunderclap goes off. I honestly thought the rumbles were my stereo up to that point. That one made me jump. No more jump scares. I'm fragile.

Got a new modem from Frontier to replace my sick one. It's an Eero modem. Takes me from having a modem with 4x 1 Gigabit ports down to just one, Moca capability down to none, and suddenly I have to install a 3rd party app that won't work until I hand over my validated phone and email, FOR A MODEM!

Starting a new pot of beans. Been a while since I've done a pot. We'll see how my spice game is today.

I think we've reached the eat-your-feelings stage of grief. I'm up to 235 and can't seem to stop feeling hungry now. My portion control is out of wack. Having trouble getting back to cooking for one. My eyeballs keep adding too much food to the skillet.

Well crap. Just figured out that THX1138 has become a low grade trigger for me. Every night when it was time to get mom ready to go to sleep, I had a lamp turn on in my room. My cue to get up and move. When I went into her bedroom to tell her to go pee and let me tuck her in, the time on clock was:

I have one client who moved to Mexico and another old friend moving to Ecuador. Trumpism is repelling a lot of talented people. I can't wait for the flash point to finally take them all out.

Just heard another show say "We only use a small portion of our brains." If you say this in your script, slap yourself. Better yet, have another character slap that character so people know the one that said it is an idiot.

Just noticed some pink flowers on the front door. I was going to bring them in, but they're fake, so I'll leave them for now. That was nice of somebody.

Oh FFS. I just finished what I think is the last of mom's laundry and the damn outfit incorporated GLITTER in the fabric. I laid it over my shoulder when I carried it back to put away and it transferred. Took me a minute to figure out why I looked like I hugged an exotic dancer.
