I’m here. In which habitat is it the right time to hit the bar? And has anyone seen my other sleeping bag? I think it’s blue ... Shannon took the green one.

Any habitat is the right one for the bar, since it’s always open! Go for it!!

What if a paranoid-arachnoid-octopy occupied only one-quarter of a circular building?

What is the value of an hate-filled ate-sided pi?

Who does maths? I gave up once I counted all my fingers and toes!

I just had a weird event. I was sitting here reading an article about wildlife when I heard a gurgling in the kitchen. I walked in to see what it was, and the coffee make was on and steaming a little even though I hadn’t put new coffee or water in yet.

“Huh,” I thought, “Maybe a kid punched the On button,” so I turned it off ... and it turned back on. And I turned it off again, and it turned back on. And I unplugged it and then plugged it back in, and it turned on. And I turned it off, and it turned on.

The immediate workaround is that I’ve left it unplugged, with the coffee and water in, and I’ll plug it in when I get up in the morning. Then when it’s daytime, I’ll go to Walmart and get a new one.

That water looks very cold, for some reason!

Weird, is right. Something right out of the Twilight Zo-an.

I have to contact management again. I’ve already told her about the gap under the door left by the replacement of the threshold, but I just realized that when the switch was replaced in the bedroom, the trainee did it wrong so that when I turn the wall switch off, the lamp on the dresser shuts off. If I turn the switch on, the overhead light comes on. I don’t want that.

For now, I have to live with both problems. But not in the near future!

the fact that she got on these today was pretty good, considering. We’ll see how good she is when she has to get the doors replaced.

Keep saying you’re not safe without secure doors.

Trust me. I won’t feel safe until it’s up to what it should have been when I moved in. I don’t like to make waves, but when I pay rent, I expect value for my dollar. I’m not getting it, yet. I’ll be here a long time, and I want to make sure everything is working properly to start with. And if I don’t feel safe, then they have to fix things so I do. “It’s a safety issue,” is not what they want to hear. I may talk to someone...

In other news, I got the paperwork for the pain clinic today. Unngh. I’d rather fill it out now than when I get there!

It’s just one thing after another, isn’t it?

Well, it most certainly keeps life interesting, and there’s not much chance for boredom setting in, so I’ll take it. Some things, I can handle better than other things. Today was one of those days. However, the length of time it took for today’s events to actually take place was pathetically inept.

It would never have gone this long without being taken care of had I been the one in the office. I wasn’t trained to be lackadaisical on the job, so things like this are petty irritations for me. I resent the fact that I had to send another letter and state the obvious: My apartment is unsafe and should never have been rented.

So, there are three things left, now, and I’m really hoping I don’t have to send a third letter to get them done.

My brain is tired, or maybe still fluffy, so I’ll close for now. Dyslexia is setting in. I hope your night is a good one!
