    Complaint: The flu is lingering with weakness, rundown, achy joints, the occasional killer headache and runny nose. Worse than that, I am shopping some wonderful items during this sale and I have absolutely no ambition to create any image with them at this time. I get fleeting ideas that get crushed by the flu symptoms.

    Non-Complaint: Today I saw that Censored had her store in the sale, went back to look for what she had for sale. From there I found the outfit she worked on with Heatherlily. Lovely. Both PAs' stores got raided, but in Censored's I found a bundle she did with CynderBlue. Lovely work by all and now in my Runtime. And I am too wiped out to play with anything.

    @memcneil70 Hope you feel better soon! And I agree, the Renvana bundle is outstanding.

    non-complaint: Teen Kiddo had a sore arm from their shot on Tuesday, but that was the extent of it. Little Dude's schedule was mercifully (mostly) compatable with the day's plans, so Teen and I got some errands run while he was hanging with my folks, including finding fabric for the baking apron they so dearly want. They're a very slight person, and all the things we saw online for them I could tell just by looking wouldn't fit well and would just wind up annoying them to all heck and gone. With a yard of fabric and a little time I can throw something together on the fly that they'll like a lot better. Step one accomplished: fabric. Now for the time...

    complaint: Little Dude's shot messed him up considerably more, between stomach issues and the expected bit where his sleep schedule gets thrown into an absolute blender. He's been tiring out fast, sleeping for a couple hours, being up for a few hours, then going back down for a while, and lather, rinse, repeat. If my circadian rhythms hadn't flipped a table long ago, this definitely would've done it.

    A friend of mine at the workplace said something about flipping a table. Actually all of them. He said he was going to flip everything. He got one of those negative reviews from our new handler. My ex-handler had told us to go easy on the new guy the first week. So when he said I did something wrong the first time, and the second time, I didn’t get snippy. Then he did an official review and said I did something wrong. I got snippy. A few other people got snippy about their reviews too. So we'll see how long the tables last.

    Recently, my aunt told me that her offspring and I both “thickened up”. I did inform her that those kind of comments are not good for a person like me, who has all kinds of self-image issues. She declared she wasn’t calling either of us out of shape though. She said we were too skinny in the first place. She said we used to be “rail thin”. She thinks we got better. I don’t know.

    Since I have my new laptop, I have to reinstall everything. DAZ Studio is taking longer than everything else. And I have no idea why a rolling pin requires 250 megabytes or hair requires half a gigabyte.

    I think the last time I got a laptop was 2016. So blasting ten years into the future has created all kinds of new possibilities. I was even able to render ChevyBabe hair. Like, I fully expect to be able to run Grand Theft Auto 6 but I wasn’t sure about ChevyBabe hair.

    I do like the promo pictures of that Renvana character. Actually I’m starting to think I like Genesis 9 in general. But I’m not going to buy everything again for a new version.

    If that new handler has something to say on Monday, he is going to learn the meaning of snippy.

    @NylonGirl Sorry about your new handler. I wonder if he's one of those who feels the need to give bad reviews so that he has something to manage. My corporate job had one like that... If Lawful Stupid was a D&D alignment, she would've been its poster child.

    Some people are not qualified to lead lemmings off a cliff.

    Non-complaint:  Tidied up my pantry shelves and found a half full box of "Grape Nuts" cereal.  I eat them with a smidge of hot water and some honey.  No milk required.  Makes a kind of instant, hot, semi-mushy, oatmealish, sweet simple breakfast. Yay!yes  I do have a half dozen eggs left.  So, I could make another batch of salmon patties with two of them.  And I could have ham and eggs with another two before Thursday's uptown grocery run.  My run to the local grocery yesterday revealed that they have pumpkins so I think I'll make a special trip and toddle up there tomorrow to get one.  They're too big & heavy to carry, even in bags.  So, I think I'll dig out my collapsible wagon for the first time and bring it home that way.  Picture it, fall in upstate NY, red & yellow leaves on the trees & ground, wrinkled old man in jeans & leather jacket, wearing a baseball cap, toddling & dragging a wagon with a big pumpkin down the sidewalk.  Kinda reminds me of when I was five or six years old and won a big turkey in a Thanksgiving raffle from a ticket my father handed to me.  He said "you won it, you take it home".  Home was two blocks away down a hill, and I was determined to get it there.  Dragged the frozen turkey through the snow (didn't even have a wagon), all the way.  Even got it up the three steps to the porch.

    My sympathies as well, @NylonGirl. Working in customer service, I deal with many troublesome folks, both customers & co-irkers*. Although mine are more likely to be Chaotic Stupid. 

    @SilverGirl we should start our own list here of Alignments D&D Forgot. Also I love the "not qualified to lead lemmings off a cliff" snark. It's my new favorite. 

    *Got this one from a comment on the Ask A Manager advice blog. It covers every work issue up to & including "My report is threatening to use black magic on the rest of my team."

    Later this morning we are going to go help Son pack & clean out his apartment. He & his girlfriend have rented a house together.

    Torquinox Thank you. Yes she is lovely.

    SilverGirl I hope Little Dude is able to rest and recover and you get a break on sleep. Maybe his youth will help? 

    NylonGirl Too many times I have run into a supervisor with a 'God' complex or who has 'issues' with who/what I am or others I work with. One time, it took myself and three of my fellow staff sergeants taking a master sergeant into the warehouse and explain to him that his bigotry was not acceptable and we would elevate our documentation to command. And then there is the case of someone promoted who is just not qualified for the position and has no clue how to lead.

    LeatherGryphon Grape Nuts sprinkled in some yogurt, along with some dried fruit like cranberries and blueberries, makes a great breakfast for my diet to lose weight. Just use a fingertip grab of each so you don't go over a 1/4 cup measurement.

    Sill weak, exhausted, and have to go Buckley for prescriptions if they are ready today. If not, tomorrow after medical appointment. Or Wednesday after that appointment. And Thursday it will be too late for one, but I have dental work that day. I just want to crawl into bed and sleep.

    @memcneil70  Hmmm..., yogurt & berries on GrapeNuts, sounds good.yes  Although, I don't like the crunch in GrapeNuts, so the hot water will probably stay.  Yay for semi-mush.smiley  I do keep raisins handy.enlightened

    And as I think again about the scene of me dragging a wagon loaded with a big pumpkin down an autumn street I can't help thinking of an adult version of a Charlie Brown holiday cartoon.indecision
