Somnambulism
My dentist gave me a mouth guard last year because I started grinding my teeth in my sleep. (My job was stressful.) This morning, I somehow managed to lose it before breakfast. I remember waking up, feeding the cats, making toast, and reading the Internet. Tonight we ransacked the house looking for it. I even went through the trash can. After half an hour, I found it… in the butter drawer in the fridge.
I didn’t even have butter on my toast. What the hell. -

@chrisgander What’s wrong with that? Princess Leia wore a LOT of makeup in the first movie.
@NicoleWill100 Ugh, & it’s so annoying when they’re just fake geeks, you know? They’re only pretending to like video games for attention. 🙂
@Malarkey Don’t get run over by a velocipede!
Rode my bike to and from work for the first time in over a year! My knees seem ok so far. My bum, not so much. #needanewsaddle
@themaninblue @kouky Now how do I get initiated into the Canva biker gang?
@themaninblue Mine was the pretty blue one!

@gilmae YES! I’ve seen them before though. They’ve featured them in the Moomin newsletter. 😛
Another bubble shooter for me to obsess over? Good grief. https://t.co/V77PG5rbVW
@gilmae Most of the stuff in the Moomin shop is like that. “OH, I LOVE THIS! JEEZUS, LOOK AT THE PRICE.” 🙁
@mh4k Good grief, I don’t even like going straight in the “death lane”.
@awkwordly @Lackadazy Oh, hi! I head up the Australian chapter of Tiny Hands International. #thestruggleisreal
@Lackadazy @awkwordly I usually just whack them on the counter in the hopes the vacuum will pop before the jar shatters.
Ugh. I’ve worked at places where this type of thing was the Holy Grail. I feel dirty just remembering. https://t.co/ZG4wFrlTtg
@pwcc I know. Hey, at least right now I work for a company with zero advertising. It’s a lot nicer.

Very proud to see @canva at #1, @themaninblue! 🙂 https://t.co/y6JPTo0e4Y
One of the renderers just tripped the fuse on the lighting circuit… by touching a live wire with his finger. *facepalm* (He’s fine.)

Throwback Thursday: Susie the Deer
Throwback Thursday: Susie the Deer | Charlie Chat – My sister excitedly sent me this link on Facebook recently. I was thrilled! Our grandparents lived in Butler, Indiana when we were little, so we knew the legend of Susie the Deer. We may have even seen her on occasion venturing out from the woods behind Grandma Veva’s house. I definitely remember there was a salt lick on an old tree stump in the backyard (and may have even tasted it myself – EW). My Aunt Deb commented on FB:Fed Susie many many times. She had her whole head and shoulders in Mom’s new house on Ivy Lane. We even put out a salt block for her. She would never let her fawns out of the woods behind our house. She loved potato chips. We stopped class one day cause she was sticking her head up to the screen, so we opened it up and fed her cookies. She was up town often, traffic just moved slow around her. Fond memories of growing up with her.
Isn’t that lovely?
