I’ve just written a whole post and then realized it would be a better fit next month. I’d write something else but the cat is sitting on my foot yowling to be fed.
Loudly.
“What greater gift than the love of a cat.”

Some Other Monday

It’s Monday so life could be better, but I somehow pulled out a two on Wordle this morning so things aren’t all bad.
Written on some other Monday. Today, 5/6.

My version of that one (super true) cat meme:
Also, kitty needs a new bed.
Cream of the Crop

While chatting with my father about a sci-fi book he’s reading, I remembered this short bit of free fiction from John Scalzi. Now I share it with you, too.
When the Yogurt Took Over: A Short Story | Whatever
When the yogurt took over, we all made the same jokes – “Finally, our rulers will have culture,” “Our society has curdled,” “Our government is now the cream of the crop,” and so on. But when we weren’t laughing about the absurdity of it all, we looked into each others’ eyes with the same unasked question – how did we ever get to the point where we were, in fact, ruled by a dairy product?
Enjoy!

I may have mentioned that I am entertained by maps, clever science jokes, and not-too-scary pirates. This xkcd comic ticks all the boxes.

Follow-On Report Regarding The Status Of My Action Matrix

To Whom It May Concern,
Enclosed please find an updated version (below) of my recently-submitted action matrix. I am happy to report that it encapsulated a number of actionable tasks, and allowed me to pivot in order to capture value from low-hanging fruit, as well as formulate a plan to circle back for future forward-facing goal-setting opportunities while absorbing a number of critical learnings.
Translation: some stuff was done, some stuff was not done. I might get to it later, but yeah, that’s not happening now. Now it’s time for lunch!

The Key Word Is “Temporarily”
Posted in Funny, Likes, tagged #365Ways, Covid-19, Thoughts, vaccination on July 9, 2021| Leave a Comment »
We’re not fully protected yet; we got our second shots today and need to wait a couple few weeks for full potency. (We were given Moderna because they’re saving all the Pfizer for the younglings. I am 100% down with that.)
Of course, we’ll still be following all health department guidelines. Plus, yeah, stupid variants are out there throwing a stupid wrench into things.
That said, this kind of progress feels oh so good. While at the vaccination center, it was really quite touching to see my fellow Canadians doing their part, for themselves, their families, and their community. Here’s to keeping us all safe!
(I still don’t want to clean, though! 🙂
