Mercury in Retrograde

[Drunk Monk]

Today’s mercnret scorecard:
 
Stacy’s brand new Mac crashed and wouldn’t let her on any websites for a while. It eventually self corrected as Macs do, so not so bad but there was a moment of stress.

The funkmobile’s splash guard was dragging. Stacy took it out for a small errand and heard a terrible noise on the ride home which she later realized was the guard dragging. I noticed it was loose when I came home from a different errand and snapped it back into place somewhat but it’ll need some gorilla taping to secure it: I suspect someone hit it in the parking lot. It’s had a dent there previously but now it looks deeper somehow.

My hand sanitizer spray bottle refused to spray. I took it apart, cleaned the intake tube, and it seemed to be working fine.

But the worst is that my backyard neighbor’s dog might have had a stroke. He’s a bachelor with two dogs - one is an older retriever mix with a large tumor on his hip - Joey. Joey is a sweet old dog but my neighbor said he was leaning oddly all day. He’s taking him to the vet tomorrow. He was pretty broken up about it. Maybe it’s selfish of me but I’m tired of seeing my neighbors in tears…

I also saw my drunken surfer neighbor. His gf moved out - she was my source of fresh organic eggs because they kept 30 chickens. Talk about local. I said 'hi' to him but was in a rush so we didn't chat. He's actually a really nice dude, it's just that he has a serious drinking problem.

awww man … Buck.
