Had a nice weekend. Em came over for coffee yesterday morning. My BFF came over for an Old Fashioned last night, so we split a bottle of Jefferson's. Mower comes Tuesday. Ready for Spring!

Did I just see Marky Mark on a commercial for some weird religious pray-every-day phone app? Or am I stoned?

Multi-colored Asian lady beetles. Introduced to eat soybean aphids. Unlike "ladybugs" they have a distinctive W on their heads. (I worked I.T. for a group of entomologists....)

Champaign-Urbana friends: "Unofficial" is this weekend. Not the nonsense it used to be, but I'd still avoid campus. ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’™โ˜˜๏ธ

I'm 7-ish years into a Frigidaire side-by-side with ice and water and it has been rock solid.

And now tomorrow when my boss asks "hey, did you remember to order that hard drive Monday?" I can simply answer "it shipped yesterday." And that's a joke. He's not that kind of boss. Only a few weeks until he retires. #sadpanda

See, here's how it's supposed to work. I ordered some computer equipment from an approved vendor this morning. By 11:00 it was processed and approved and sent to the vendor. Notification before noon from vendor that item has been shipped. See how easy that is?

It's also complaining of needing an old change, so I'll make sure to let my guy Dave know to top off the transmission fluid then too. Makes a weird noise for the first few seconds after starting as well. Belt, maybe? Slippage? Hear me baby, hold together... #Acura 207,xxx miles. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

In other news, my car has occasionally been, well, let's say "getting confused" while shifting from 2nd to 3rd. When that happens a couple of times in a row the happy green light next to the D on my dash starts blinking. Ugh. Does it every time it shifts 2nd/3rd now. Time for a piece of black tape.

What a long week. Tomorrow the Dean and Exec. Assoc. Dean are coming to our 1:00 o'clock I.T. group meeting, and I get a text Monday that I have a dentist appointment at 2:00 Thursday. Because of fucking course I do.

You know, I worked for a Chicago engraver over the summers in high school, and I don't know the difference. ๐Ÿคท (My father would be mortified...)

Realized today (well, read) that Unofficial is this weekend. So super duper bad timing for ol' Joe's.

Hopefully the sun comes out today and your dreams won't be invaded by shadowy figures digging away at your soul.

I mean, I think if you want a fake word that sounds like "glee-ben" it would be spelled "glieben". Gleiben would sound like "GLY-ben." Ask me how I know...
