When you absolutely destroy your sleep schedule for two nights in a row to binge-read a webcomic, only to find out at the end of the backlog that it's not actually finished yet as you had thought going in, so now you have to slog through slow updates to find out what happens, while all of the poor characters are suffering in the middle of the climax. ;_;

After my mom picked me up from work today, we passed by a McDonald's hoping to get some ice cream because the afternoon was so brutally hot. When we got to the drive-thru, we found out that we couldn't get sundaes, or McFlurries, or even Coca-Cola floats. The only dessert available was apple pie, and when it's sweltering, you're not exactly in the mood for a piping hot apple pie.
When we pulled up to the speaker thingy, my mom said we wanted sundaes and then she followed that up with, "If you don't have any sundaes, we'll just have a Monday." (Between her and my dad with his dad jokes, now you guys know where my sense of humor and ridiculous puns come from.)
We wound up getting large iced coffees instead and when my mom asked why there was no ice cream, the lady at the window said the ice cream machine was busted. She used the Filipino word "putok" to describe it, which is funny, because the first thing I thought of when she said it was that the ice cream machine EXPLODED. Because "putok" is also a word you use for volcanic eruptions. Turns out, it was because so many people were ordering ice cream.

That awkward moment when you tell your mother that you won't work alone in the field because of injury risk and she just stares at you for a solid five seconds before saying, "you wouldn't wear cologne? Like fragrance?" And I'm just flabbergasted.
Work alone sounds like wear cologne.... I guess.
Ahhh, enunciation saves lives.

Genuine thought that runs through my head: Am I setting a good enough example for my cat??

I just saw a Facebook comments argument that started with two people snipping at each other... and then it gradually turning amicable and understanding, "I'm glad we talked," and mutual agreement.
...Why can't that happen more often?

So a bird has decided to nest in an alcove in a neighboring apartment. I have pretty good view of this.
On the one hand, this would be a great birdwatching opportunity. All the binocular watching and picture taking!
Except... there is no way I can actually do that without looking like a total creep.
*Contents self with occasional glances.* Sigh.

Sometimes I do little things to try to help me get over a long-standing phobia; mainly, wasps. Nothing's ever worked fully yet, but such actions are the difference between "I don't like them but I can be in the same room if I'm on guard and they don't try anything funny" and "okay I'm going to evacuate this entire area even though it's inconvenient to me goodbye forever." Today, such a little thing was looking up the pain index of bee stings to get descriptions of what stings felt like, so I can put it in perspective and not be all "any slight sting will be THE DEATH OF ME." And... ...I swear, this guy's... (source)Pain level 2 starts okay, by describing severe pain at a pinpoint, but then... What is this purple prose for insect stings??It reads like a food critic, except I don't think you're supposed to eat the stings?? I'm wondering too.

Summary of the legal profession:
Client: May I do thing? Me: No. Do not do thing. You will PAY if you do the thing. Here are the Supreme Court receipts. EDUCATE THYSELF.

I think my bearded dragon is the equivalent of a picky toddler. He loves carrots as a treat, but won't eat them if they're on top of his greens. They have to be separate.

I'm more excited for the new Pokemon Snap than I was for Sword & Shield.

Sometimes I get a song in my head that I somethings sing aloud...
And then sometimes. They're for. Tunes that are catchy but I would normally not want to be caught singing the lyrics, and I don't catch myself until I'm in the middle of it.
Cue words like "no, that's a song, do not actually bring on the men."

How many bearded dragons does it take to poop under a piano?
Just one. Life's certainly never dull with a beardie in it. 🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎

Past two days: "I feel down and awful and lonely and also too physically bleh to feel up to doing anything so I'll just sit here and be miserable, I guess." After literally 5 minutes of warming up and then doing some exercises or at least more active movement beyond "I guess I'll stretch": "......Oh."
(Food also helped, but not as much.)
(Makes me wish I was sharing living space with a dog again.)
The moral of the story is move around goofily. Dance in your chair. Be extra (while being considerate of those around you, of course). It doesn't matter if it doesn't look good, do it for the good exercise hormones.
