Mornings weirdness is weird indeed.  I step into the living room at O-Crap AM and see the snek cage open.  Herself's full grown ball python is off on Gengar's Big Adventure.  So, while she is screaming and flailing at her debris piles in the living room, I went to start chore things.  


Walking into the laundry room for something, I looked down see a CD in a sleeve.
Just laying there on the floor.  Picking it up, I see it's a Windows XP operating system. Service pack 1!  Yes, I said Windows XP, and that service pack was out in 2001.  Flipping it over, I see my old habit holds, and find the activation codes written on the back.  Now, I haven't seen  this disk in over 20 years, so HOW did it make that journey to the laundry room floor?

Yes, might load this on something just for S & G.

Weight is up a few overnight.  Sleep was broken.  Breathing is off a smidge. Hoping to get some house stuff done.  But... maybe, just maybe, I dodged the cold those barbarians have been passing around like a demented frisbee.

Old age.  I'm going to try a mid-range in-ear OTC hearing aid.  Latest gen in this genre, and seems worth a shot.   Tinnitus from boomies, loud engines, too many wives, plus some general hearing loss that comes from long life and bad decisions.

Yeah, I have thoughts on current events. Thanks for asking. Today, I choose not to share them.  I'm disheartened at the level of stupidity demonstrated, and I'd rather think about the bacon sandwich we will have for dinner.  At least it makes sense.
