Once upon a time, there was a man called the Doctor, and he was very good at fixing fractures. He said, "Time heals all wounds," but he had meant to say small; it was his job to heal the larger.

I private-lock the boring stuff after a while. It's nothing but my desire to keep my journal clean.

Tried setting up my Roku with (my grandad's) Charter/Spectrum TV credentials, but it seems the only channel I'm interested in AND that has a deal with Charter is NatGeo.

If anyone wants to share their HGTV cable with me, I can give you the Roku code to set it up 😇 See more at HGTV.com/roku

Just reread both the Percy Jackson series - Percy Jackson & the Olympians and The Heroes of Olympus. The third series - The Trials of Apollo - kicked off last year. I snagged a copy of the first book, The Hidden Oracle.

The new big boss pulled me in today and said he needed help to plan the all-store meeting.

So the SHIT hit the fan regarding one of my customers, and I managed to give my (new) store manager the run down and he said, "Yeah, that's exactly what the customer said..."
