Trying to Fred Flintstone foot-drive this operation

[slipjig3]

The whole "five things make a post" concept is as timeworn as movie theater carpeting, but posting is a habit that I'm still working on redeveloping and long-form anything still feels like a bridge too far, so here we go:

1) Achievement unlocked: I shared a childhood story that made my therapist go, "What the fuck...?!" (Not quite but almost verbatim.) She was furious on behalf of my younger self, which was gratifying but made me stop and wonder why I hadn't been furious until relatively recently, so I guess we have a Thing to talk about next week.

2) I seem to be back on the Book of Face, which I'm not entirely pleased about, but I did nuke my Xitter account from orbit, so I've got that going for me. (I do have an occasionally-used Bluesky account, user name slipjig, if'n y'all are over in those parts.)

3) We sometimes use a hot water bottle in bed on chilly nights, which we abbreviate to a "HoWaBo," which is why, when hypnagogie requested this evening that I prepare said HoWaBo, I replied that I needed to find the WaBo so I could make it Ho.

4) I don't buy Christmas anything until after Thanksgiving on general principle, but fuck principles when there are white fudge Oreos.

5) I was going to tell a story from Sunday here, but I'm realizing that it's too long for the five-things format, so remind me to circle back around to the crazy dude in the coffeehouse carrying around a 1968 Archie and Jughead comic and a used Barbra Streisand LP.

Also, I sprung for a paid account, so I've got my full set of icons back. Woo.

I got on Bluesky (rhymes with "brewskie") several months ago, so I've got a little bit of a running start. Were it not for that, I'm not sure I'd be bothering, but I'm glad for it as far as that goes.
