Just one quick bitch, part two

["couldbecousin"]

just in front of my left ear, my skin hurts.

  Is it scratched, or is there some sort of nerve issue?

  True to form, I have left the laundry undone all weekend.  Good job.

  Some of my favorite soundtrack recordings have disappeared from Youtube.

  I'll never catch up to Odeon's post count.

  I forget if it was one of my father's Austrian relatives who said it ...
    "Vy is it that ve are too soon old, and too late schmart?"

  I like this song, but it's really a Saturday night song.

I think it's nerve pain. Probably from the stress of grading really bad student papers,

Wow. At the orthodontist I saw one lady about your age having her braces taken off. It is quite an experience to have them both put on and taken off. If you want to talk about it with someone, I am here.

My quick bitch: I had to spend all my birthday money on a car battery. $160, which was exactly the amount I was given to spend. Booooooo!

  I imagine/hope the braces will be more streamlined and comfortable this time around.
            I will also make sure they make me a retainer so I don't lose the correction again. 


I also hope that car battery lasts a long time.  Go for a drive and enjoy the fruits of your birthday money. 

I will be driving to college twice this week.

Did they not give you a retainer last time? I have been given two lots of retainers. The most recent ones supposed to fix the gap between my front teeth. They have closed it a bit but it is still there.

Much like when I bought the house, I have trouble breaking the news of the car to my parents.

The house was a financially sound step forward though, the car is not

  I had a short-term retainer of sorts, but there was no long-term plan to prevent the teeth from drifting,
  so ... what a waste.  I'm definitely playing the long game this time around, so I don't have to go through
  this a third time in my nineties.    Besides wanting a better-looking smile, I'm hoping to save the 
  supporting bone so that if (worst case scenario) I need full dentures down the line, I'll have enough
   bone to hold them in place.  I guess I'm really getting old, to have to think about that.

missed an opportunity to catch a mouse in my hands.

Next time you'll be mentally prepared. You're a wolf.


(Wonders what predator genes I have, think I caught almost all mice I saw in the houses I lived in at first, maybe second sight, as a reflex, I can't be fully bovine.)

Not completely true. The one running around on the second floor in this house had to be taken by a cat. I could not get it, it was at too big a distance, and it was not taken by surprise by the look of a large creature either.

this time it saw me and ran like the wind. i was too far away to get it.

when i come back from errands i might put some food out and see if i can get it.
there are two! the second one just came out. i have to move my chair so i am closer to the path. this one was was horribly cute; it fell over twice trying to get over a box. going to catch them with a cup; i realized it might not be the best idea to risk a bite or a parasitic infection with my immune system impaired as it is.

You are working on it, though.
