Accommodations

 You live in a little apartment in the center of town OR a little cabin in a secluded forest... I'll go with a cabin.  I do like a nice apartment, but a cozy little place with a fire?  No worries about neighbors?  Win. It's rained here all day.  Never particularly hard, but quite steady.  There were 6 or 8 minutes of sun at Noon, then right back to the rain.  There are spotty power outages and trees down, but not right here.  There weren't even that many branches down in the yard.

Storms and Yuck

Last night, it seemed I was starting to feel better, but   Today I feel flu-ish.  Sleepy and heavy and achy.   Gimme back my plain ol' cold, please. Which sounds more fun: Skydiving OR Submarining^? We are under a high wind advisory for the next couple of days, off the hurricane.  It's been breezy today, and a few small limbs have already come off trees.  I think it's rain tomorrow and thunderstorms Sunday.  It's something to look out at these clouds and know they've been churned up by a storm  hundreds of miles away. ^Well, those are two of my phobias: heights and enclosed spaces.  I'll go with skydiving, though.  Never, ever inside a tube submerged in something I'm unable to swim through.

Did You Watch GoT?

Like my Twinnie, I've been parked on the couch and in my bed, alternately.  What is it with colds that knocks us so low? Would you rather have the power to make unicorns real OR the power to make dragons real? Dragons.  Don't wish to deal with squealing girls.  And if a dragon gets out of hand, I can call Jaime Lannister or Bronn the Sellsword to take care of it.

Knee-Slapper

It's an MST3K joke, but it sprang right to mind immediately when I saw this photo: "And I told her that in school, I was an Ursa Major!" Today's query is Would you rather have fifty turtles living in your house OR One hundred canaries living in your house?● ●Turtles.  If it were 50 canaries, too, I'd need to have a think, but as is,

How 'Bout No Sneezing?

Image
Most of my days are spent barefoot, wearing leggings and a t-shirt.  Today, I'm wearing slippers (which is just not me), socks (less not me, but stil...), leggings, t-shirt, hoodie jacket (sometimes the hood is up), handwarmers (they're really cute*), and a knit blanket around my shoulders. I'm sick.  My head feels like a bowling ball with all the finger holes clogged.  My ears hurt on the inside.  My throat's not sore, but I've sneezed for 2 days.  Y'all all know how it feels. At any rate, the questions must go on. No talking daily from 9 AM to 5 PM OR No eating daily from 9 AM to 5 PM × * ×This is a coin flip for me.  I don't do all that much talking as it is, and I surely need to cut WAY back on eating.

Deep Fake

 Would you prefer access to a time machine  OR access to a teleportation machine?` Bought some super  cheap fake nails and put them on my left fingers tonight, trying to channel 70s Cher: I didn't think about, after having nails on the left, I'd need to put some on my right.  I haven't gotten around to that just yet. The glueness of the whole thing is all that "worries" me.  I don't want my actual nail to come off when the fake one's removed. `Time.  Going backward.   Not to change anything (because where would you even start...), but to see certain people and events.
