Just finished a binge watch of Strange Ange. Weird mix of the genesis of JPL, Thelema/Aleister Crowley and WWII. A nice mix of fact and twisted.

I went into the kitchen cabinet to get a bandage and in the process knocked a bottle of about a hundred B-Complex vitamins onto the floor which of course shattered and scattered shards of glass and vitamins all over. I was trying to clean up while keeping the dogs away. They weren't interested in the pills but since I was bleeding all over the floor they were interested in that. What a damn mess. All the pills got picked up and tossed...some with blood stains. Pretty sure I got all the shards of glass. What a cluster. Some days are just like that. smdh
Years ago, I was asleep when the globe on the bathroom light decided to let go. Wife was at work. I vacuumed "everywhere" to make sure to get the glass up. Except for under a chest. It was situated so that any glass had to ricochet off the pocket door and land under that chest, for a total travel distance of about 30 feet. My wife got some sandals out from under that chest days later, and got a glass shard in her foot.

Just pulled a spice cake out of the oven. Waiting for it to cool so I can frost it. House smells wonderful.
Can't remember the last time I baked a cake.

Waiting for my houseboy to arrive. He has to sand the driveway and do some housecleaning.

It's trash day, hauling out the cans in -13F.

Years ago my mother told my father that she was bored. He came home with a Rubick's Cube...she was not amused.
My sister had surgery on her foot this morning and so is laid up a while. I suggested she bedazzle her surgical boot but she said she didn't have the supplies needed. Then I remembered the Rubick's Cube thing. Just sent her one through Amazon...she should have it in the morning.

Baked up a pound and a half of bacon so I can keep some in the fridge and freezer for breakfasts over the next week or so. Currently performing quality control with a scrambled egg and some toast.

Playing Euro Truck simulator. I drove all the way to Duisburg from Cologne and couldn't figure out how to put the damn thing in reverse to back my trailer in.
