Tiny Complaints

My neighbour has cut down my sunflowers. He isn’t a horse but he is a horse’s ass.

Mine mess with young, middle age and older plants! A couple of these were tall! I have started them from seed and they still ruin them once they are outside. :rage:

I am WATCHING ADS to read each page of a manual for a HEPA filtered flow hood in our lab on Scribd. What even is this?

There was a dead bird in my bird bath. :cry:

Oh no. You might want to empty and bleach it, maybe keep it empty a couple days to keep the birds from congregating and spreading something.

ETA autocorrect gave me enjoy instead of empty

FB Marketplace guy said he’d be here in about an hour. That was at noon. Now it’s 2:40pm, and I gave him my address.

He hasn’t even seen my messages but I can’t unsend them. I even tried logging into my computer to see. Otherwise I would unsend my address and Venmo info and block the guy!!

I just sent him this, I hope he doesn’t get weird. He has my address.

Hey, it’s been two hours since you said you would be here. I think it’s better if we don’t meet, I’ve got things I have to do.

He sent me a good apology. I don’t think he’s going to be weird, hopefully we can actually meet if he commits to a time!

A friend was over and helped pull a bunch of weeds (yay thank you friend!) but he pulled the orange milkweed that was finally starting to thrive :sob::sob::sob::sob::sob:

It was an accident, I’ll plant more and it will be allll good. But poor milkweed that i started from seed and nursed back to health from the brink of death, I’ll miss you!

I did that at my friend’s house! She had just planted her new plants the day before and had been obsessively checking them, and luckily she noticed right away and we quickly recovered them from the compost bin. She said she also did the same thing to one of her housemates so maybe it was karma :sob:

It’s working out in the end! He paid me in full on Venmo and I’m going to be out when he can come by on Wednesday but I’ll leave the stuff for him in the covered porch (it’s a bit hidden so we have never had issues with theft). It’s gym equipment and he is a personal trainer.

Our power went out at 2:34pm. I reported the outage to the power company. Estimated time for power to be restored is 7pm.

I had a pan of cookies (banana, oatmeal, nut, and chocolate chip). in the oven when the power went out. They were 6 minutes into their bake. I left them in the oven. i checked them a few minutes later - they were very pale. I checked them much later (hour?) and they were toasty brown. Tiny victory!

It was the day of it! My mom visited and took the kids to my garden to play. I assumed they would like, harvest green beans and come on in. Nope. Among other things she set the tot in the garden bed (tall raised bed) under the trellis of beans- cute but I had stuff germinating at the edges. And then she “helped weed” and pulled my coriander :sob: not quite as tragic as a stand of milkweed but it was hard not to be cranky.

Why are the bridges in Montreal so congested? I swear, it’s only the bridges and immediate environs. I think that alone added a half hour to our travel time!

I ran out of e6000 glue last night so costume making came to a standstill.

Yesterday he again sent me a very sincere apology. He says he’s getting older and things are just slipping his mind. Whew!! Not a weirdo and is very nice!

My Adobe Acrobat at work is broken and our IT could not help. They said to reinstall it. I did, and not only did that not fix the issue, the most current version of Acrobat completely changed the UX and now I cannot find anything and it’s breaking my brain.
