Alas, one big problem arose: since it’s R-rated, I had to get someone to fucking card me because they’re really fucking anal about it, even if you’re 35 and look like this:

And it took several minutes of flagging somebody down to get one.
It never stops, mate. I'm 20 years older than you and have to show my ID when buying spray paint. Doesn't bother me much, though - the girl I usually deal with at the home centre is cute as a button.

Taking the day off. I picked up sweet tea, mango guava juice, and tomato juice to drink today. I need to pay rent. Hopefully, I won't forget.

My colon prep wasn't as thorough as it could have been. Now I have an inferiority complex about my colon prep.

Ignominiously watching my son pour a wall for a planter. I can't even pick up sacks of concrete to help, now.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Went to the Social Security office to restore my name to my birth name (I changed my name for my first marriage).
For some reason, SSA requires you to do so in person, which is mildly inconvenient when you live abroad.

Spent most of the morning repairing a breach in my forge. Now I has tired.

Apparently, there's no way to speak directly to someone who works in support for Uber.
The only contact they allow is via text. And the way the person couldn't understand a goddamn thing I was trying to get across, suggests to me the individual is not exactly proficient in the English language.
So the issue was not resolved and they ended up doing something I didn't want done.
*sigh*

My doctor increased the dose on my antidepressant. Today is only the first day, but I'm already feeling less tired.
