it's a convoluted mess
January. 2024. The Bobs are still recovering from A Very Covid Christmas. Or rather Bob is at about 99% and I’m still lingering around 75%. We don’t know where we caught it from (considering we barely leave the house), but recent information claims incubation is only two or three days so we can pretty much narrow it down to our routine trips to Target and Costco or the grocery store, or the day Bob went… Keep reading…Made it through…
Greetings from the Plague Lands. Two people who barely leave the house finally caught fucking Covid two days before Christmas. I cannot taste or smell anything. My whole back hurts. My voice sounds like I’ve been smoking for forty years. I am exhausted. Bob is mostly recovered with some residual symptoms. I am on the upswing, but lagging behind. As is usual when we get sick around here. I started working on this survey mid-December… Keep reading…A Year in Review…2023…

I’m still tweaking settings and pieces of custom CSS and I had… Keep reading…Stray stream of light…
Don’t betray them by becoming familiar… Previously on Ye Olde Blog… Joel the Obstinate and Cursed Jetta (TM) was retired and Sara had an emotional breakdown over it. Then wrote a wall of text about it. Here’s another one… We’ve been having serious conversations about replacing my car for a few years. We’ve forked out thousands of dollars in repairs on the damn thing over the years and we figured when it started costing more… Keep reading…Fascinating new thing…
Do you own a car? Did you finance it? Is it paid off? Make sure you have both your title AND your lien release and put them in a safe place that’s easy to find when it comes time to relinquish said car. Anyway. Here’s a disastrous wall of text… I got my driver’s license roughly two months shy of my 23rd birthday. I had my license for a month when I bought my very… Keep reading…The part where it’s over…
