    I had a carpenter bee repeatedly landing on my arms and face and licking me today. I licked my arm to figure out wtf was going on but it just tasted like plain arm. What the hell was that about.

    UM. I just learned that when folks harvest cranberries, they flood the field & wolf spiders living in the cranberries float to the top, and then when a person wades into the bog, the spiders want to climb all over them, and LISTEN I’ve come a long way on spiders but no THANKS

    Tonight I saw a massive orange cat get escorted out of Longwood Gardens. I asked “is he not welcome here?”, and the guy sighed & said “He shows up at the most inopportune moments”. So now, obviously, I want an entire sitcom about their relationship.

    The sound of connecting to dial-up internet just emanated from a distant corner of the coworking space. All the millennials popped their heads up from their computers like a flock of prairie dogs being activated by a long-forgotten ancestral call.

    Ok this WASN’T me but when I was a junior in college I made the catastrophic mistake of underestimating the athleticism of crabs and about 300 crabs got loose in the basement of the biology building and it was 100% my bad

    The small demon who lives in my house has learned how to get on top of the cabinets but not how to get down from the cabinets and it is now the whole household’s problem.

    Ok so you know the war on Christmas people? I fear I am a war on Halloween person bc of trunk or treats. I’m vehemently opposed to them for communities that have houses close enough to walk between. I think it’s ruining America, and I’m kind of joking but also not at all joking.

    In the waiting room. The nurse called for Yvonne. I reacted like a sleeper agent, long dormant but suddenly reactivated, for “Yvonne” was my name in high school German class. Then I remembered. That is not my name. That has not been my name in many years…Auf Wiedersehen, Yvonne.
