July. Ech. We had our water meter replaced this week. We’re getting our gas meter replaced later this month. Both utility companies decided this needed to be done this summer. I’m guessing because our house is twenty years old this year? I don’t actually know why now. The letter for the water meter said we needed to schedule an appointment to have it done because they need to come in the house to access it….
June. We turned the A/C on on May 24th and it has been hot ever since. I am already 100% done with summer and it isn’t even officially summer yet. Welcome to Ornery Cuss Season(TM). No–no, ornerier than usual. Ech. … The Weather Channel app keeps giving me notifications for weather that might happen in other states.

May. Logically, I am aware that we have reached the fifth month of the year. And yet. My useless brain keeps screaming HOW IS IT MAY WHEN WE STILL HAVEN’T DONE SHIT WE NEEDED TO DO IN FEBRUARY.

It’s so pretty. The kitchen faucet has been sputtering every time we turn it on, and making strange ticking noises when it’s turned off. The first time I questioned it, Bob said, could be sign of a leak. Did either one of us bend over and…

It took five and a half years of fidgeting with it, but I finally wore out the Popsocket on my phone. I popped it open and my phone promptly went strangely…limp…in my hand and I realized the top half of the plastic was hanging by a quarter-inch connection. The last bit tore the rest of the…
February. This year is off to a rollicking good start, no? Jesus. Fucking. Christ. If I said what I really want to say, I’d be put on a watch list. There are enough news stories in the past week alone about people getting raided and arrested for mouthing off on the internet. I am so fucking exhausted. Anyway.
