Posse! You’re probably wondering why Lester is up there (in a non-bathroom post). Well! Wha’hadhappenedwas… apparently Mercury is SNARLING!! in retroRAGE! and it’s a wonder that I can get ANY of my tech to work. Luckily, my giveadamb is well and truly busted now so instead of curling into a ball of snotty tears I just jam stuff into ports until it gives up and cooperates. And… kinda? It works! But I couldn’t find any ironic (and free) photos to illustrate this post and my nerves were going south… so Lester stepped in to save the graphic day! (say hey! to Lester)
After a few false starts, randoDotorg chose Dina C as the Caron winner! Gmail your evilauntieanita with your mailing details and I’ll get the little golden pouch out to you asap. And my sincere apologies to anyone not in the US but omg! So. Awhile ago my postmaster told me that shipping liquids of any kind outside the US was perilous for several reasons – the biggest one is that, should the receiving postmaster be having a really crappy day, they could! dispatch PO police to your house to take you into custody to identify the contents (this pertained to some shampoo I was shipping to Brussels). Uh. Nahmgood. Given our current global tensions, I wouldn’t be surprised if they did just that. AND! a couple of times that I have attempted to ship the packages have just …vanished. So that’s why. And it’s a damb shame. But there you have it.
So. The Loser? Me. DagNABBIT! (me… just having a hissy fit over here) between Daylight Savings Time and my suddenly-weird body chemistry (more on that later) I am feeling just.. loserish. I woke up Sunday morning, feeling chipper, ready to have an hour on the mat and a relaxing time ahead of my friends picking me up at… ‘oh, SH!T!!!’ – yep! Ye Olde DST snatched that hour right out from underneath me! Grabbed a quick shower and some No5 which, thankfully, has not turned against me… but I really wished I’d been able to do matwork, since I was wedged in the back of a pickup truck for a 3-hr tour. Sigh.
Okay! Whine ovah! Dinah C! Gmail me.
And everyone else – thanks for posting! I’ll have more giveaways in the coming weeks!
xoxoxo your whiny Musette
There are no losers here..Just crappy DST….
I hate the time change. But I love daylight savings time. I love that it gets dark an hour later and love those summer nights where it stays light until nine. I hate the state f shipping things, but did get a note from the Serge Lutens people that for now the blockade to US shipping is down. And that the new one (in an export bottle) is $320 for 100ML. Yikes.
And its always a treat to see Lester.
I also love DST for the reasons that you do and think that it should be made permanent. Good to know about Serge Lutens. I already saw that the bell jars went up in price.
Just went to the Serge Lutens site. Ouch! Bell jars are $347.
WooHoo! It’s my lucky day! Thank you so much Anita and random luck. I deserve a little luck, frankly, because I had to get up at 4:30 am yesterday (especially after the time change!) to take my hubby to the hospital for a planned surgery. No worries. He did great, and we’re just waiting for him to be discharged today. Did I sleep like a rock last night? Yes I did! So I really sympathize with ALL of the people complaining about the stupid DST. Why do we still do this to ourselves?!?!
It looks like I am a loser as well. I didn’t realize that citrus in perfume deteriorate at a fairly rapid rate and will be throwing out 3 bottles of Clinique Happy. After the first 10 to 15 minutes, it mostly smells like Happy but I think that I will give it a few more tries since it might be what is in the spray part that has gone off.
Daylight Savings Time is a joke and my whole routine has been thrown off. No 5 is something lovely though.
Aww man! Could you use it as an air freshener instead, or does it smell off like acetone?
Smells a little more like acetone.
Rats! It’s a goner! sad face
Tech horrors here too & I have doggie insurance claims to update & start potentially TWO new ones as well.
Poor ickle Jarvis Cockapoo has a dodgy gall bladder on top of his allergies & eye problems. Getting old whether dog or human isn’t much fun
But he’s SO fortunate to have such a wonderful family!!! Give him a hug from me
Hug bestowed. Thank you x
We don’t get time change till end of the month.
Misbehaving tech is a huge unfairness — an unkindness of the universe.
I totally agree! My sister and I are both entertained by and terrified by the wackiness of technology!!!
I am getting to hate tech. I am actually thinking that I may not ever buy a car built after 2010 or anything with start/stop, digital TFTs for everything, and highly stressed 4 (or even 3) cylinder engines with turbochargers that are highly stressed by hauling a big car around.
Actually that pre ’75 anything is starting to look really good. No smog check.
Musette, this was wonderful fun to read. ?? Thanks for writing and Portia is always right, so you’re not a loser at all.
Xoxo. And yes! PORTIA IS ALWAYS RIGHT!!!!!!
Why is Lester holding the roll of the TP the wrong way? Why is it not unrolling over the top instead of the bottom?! Whyyyyyyyy?!?!?!?! Hahahahaha yeah life is veeery weird rn
Lester does whatever Lester wants to do!
I agree with Portia. You are definitely NOT a loser! Your post did get a few chuckles from me though. Btw did you make a mistake and is the winner Dina C not Dinah C? 🙂 🙂 😉
Great wooly gravy! Seee? Tech!
and me.
Yes. It’s Dina C. I’ll change it.
thanks for catching that.
You are anything but a loser Musette.
No 5, gorgeous.
HUG
Portia xx
Thank you, darling!!!!!
Give Jin, Kath and Co HUGS! from me- I love you all!!!
