I used to call a zebra a “pajama horse” and squirrel monkeys “fireplace monkeys”.
How do I remember this? Because my mom still likes to bring this up, every single chance she gets 🤦‍♀️

My parents made me take typing lessons when I was in primary school. I had to learn on an extremely heavy electric typewriter with the keycaps taped off.
It was a lot of work but I’m still enjoying the benefits of it.
Fun little difference was that we used QWERTY, but the ‘;’ was replaced with a ‘ij’

Parasitical worms. I’d like to say why, but just thinking about it already makes me shudder.

Final Fantasy 8 did this, if I remember correctly.

I was in pre-school and it was my turn to clean up and sweep the floor. Instead, I put that broom between my legs and pretended to be a witch.

*sigh* Good times…

I usually buy them pre-sliced in cubes, which is what makes it so convenient as a snack. You can just pop one in your mouth while they’re still frozen, just be careful with brain freeze :)
Alternatively you put them in a small bowl and eat them with a fork after they’ve thawed.

My favorite is frozen mango. I like to eat them as a quick cold snack straight from the freezer.

Another one is raw carrots with hummus as a dip.

A chagrin

Good luck today! It sounds like you’ll have a busy day ahead of you. Hope you still get to enjoy today in some way though.

I’ve been off since Christmas and won’t start work until Monday. It’s coming out of my vacation days mostly, but I always end up having too many left over at the end of the year anyway.
My partner is also off, but they get a mandatory vacation between Christmas and new year, on top of the usual vacation days.

My surface pro from work has this, though I can’t say I’ve ever used it in all these years.

It’s like time travel. One moment you’re here, and the next it’s an hour later and you’ve somehow arrived.
Don’t ask me what happened during that time, I wasn’t really there.

Don’t listen to him, he’s not even a spider!

Cuddling with my partner in bed. Especially early in the morning, when I give myself an extra half hour to just stay close together for a little while longer.

Oh and having to type
PARK
Before doing turning it off :)

I remember our family computer having an actual switch instead of a button.
Still did the toe thing though, down for on and up for off.

We both use baby for each other.
Which sounds weird for some reason, when I write it down like this. Even though we’ve been using it for about 20 years now.

I got engaged 🥰

I disagree, those bastards will find a way regardless.

Sure! It’s this one:

Of course windows is going to be replaced the moment it arrives :)

A small 8 inch laptop that can fit in my everyday bag. It hasn’t arrived yet, so I’m not sure if it’ll be worth it.
It’s my usual birthday purchase impulse, the one time I allow myself to splurge for something for no other reason than “I want” :)

I hope to use it to wean myself off of phone apps and have something that is more under my control while I’m outside.
