Maybe it's new "like" that people overuse: "Like I was going to the mall with my friends and like we saw my old boyfriend there and like at first I wasn't sure how to act, but like I figured I would like take the high road".

Drives me crazy. That and guys calling everybody dude whether you're a dude or dudette.

The talking in the way where everything sounds like a question? They upturn the last word, it's hard to explain. I've mostly noticed younger women doing it. AOC sometimes does it. It makes these young women look stupid and almost to the point of being like baby cutesy kind of. Probably not explaining it well, but that annoys me to no end these days.

I'm kind of guilty on the dude thing, although I don't call women dudes. LOL.

We are having lovely spring weather. However, this lovely spring weather is not seasonal for the normally rainy PNW. We need our rain. There is no rain in the forecast!

Looking toward a bad wildfire season.

Having two different clickers, one for tv and one for volume control is a pain because sometimes one clicker goes missing.

I have two first world problems today. They ruined my morning—that’s for sure. First a pair of pants I just bought came out of the wash totally unwearable. I washed them, after only one wearing because they bagged so badly at the knees. They are obviously unwearable, after only one wearing! The thing us, I bought these pants because I need them for an upcoming trip. Grrrr—

After that big disappointment, I checked on my best rose bush. I had sprayed the thing heavily with Neem oil because of aphids. Well, the aphids are still hanging on. My heart sank. So I trimmed off the infested branches, thereby losing about 2/3 of my buds, and sprayed it again, heavily. But I won’t be coming home to a gloriously blooming rose bush.

I sulked for awhile. I demanded DH cheer me up. He proceeded to give me advice. You can imagine how that went. I feel better now.

But I still have two problems to solve that I did not have yesterday.

Today after doing a large load of wash, I discovered my dryer was broken. So I had to take that load of wet wash to the nearby laundromat, and after drying my load of wash, I noticed this jerk had parked in the area where you're supposed to pull up to the building, unload your laundry and go park your car. So when I left I had to lug my big bin of dry clothing through the parking lot, lifting the full bin up as I wove my way through a row of cars to get to where my car was parked, so I would fit without hitting their rear-view mirrors.

The book I'd brought to read for the half hour I was there wasn't any good, despite looking like it would be.

Also, the TV in the laundromat, that was playing a fairly interesting show, was too far away from the seating area to hear over the sound of the machines, so I had to choose to read my boring book in the seating area, or STAND near the TV the whole time to watch and hear it.

Last night we were supposed to have friends over for dinner, but they had to cancel at the last minute because the husband got sick.

I had already bought a very delicious small layered chocolate cake.

There's no way we will eat it all before it goes stale, and the container is too big to fit in the freezer although I think it would probably freeze well.

So now I'll have to cut it in smaller pieces and put it in several small tupperware containers to fit in the freezer.
