Another day, another fez. 

I do enjoy wearing my fez on occasion, and when this one popped up on Fez-o-rama I pretty much had to get it. It's an octopus, with tiki drinks, and it's wearing a little fez. Literally a hat on a hat.

There's another black fez that might look good for formal occasions. It's got a mystery die on it. 

There's a lot I like...just not the teal. (I just learned that the color teal gets its name from a bird, the Eurasian teal, that has a teal-colored stripe on its head. Smart bird, to name itself after the color named after it.)

Okay that makes me like teal a little more. 

That D-20, it mocks me. What then, do I feel this fez is saying? That I love tabletop games and brilliantly-colored water-fowl?

I suppose I will be going to the tiki convention next year, and it might be nice to have a selection of fezzes to wear. If that's going to be my thing. Suits and fezzes. I do have a tan suit as well that might go with this. 

Bah. Why am I doing this. Why am I doing anything. 

Busy day, working the phones and hustling the jive turkeys to give up that double-sweet moon cheese. 

Wait that's not what I do at all

Well I was on the phone a lot. 

I must have slept okay last night. Often that will help the hustle. I was also able to finish my workout with no real problems.

There were very few moments today when I had to grit my teeth and growl at myself to "Shut. Up."

What else? Bamboo is growing and I am pleased. I suppose I must be patient. 

Twitch streaming is odd. I stream through my PS4 Pro and I can see comments and how many viewers are there. I suppose I could get a camera to show my face. But do I want to? Not really. 

Okay I'm fine. Got my medication and all is well. Should be steady for at least another three months. The cost of non-generic medications is fascinating. I have learned (way late but better than never) to get manufacturer coupons to reduce the out-of-pocket costs. Such an odd system. 

I had a tiny bit of a sore throat yesterday morning. It's gone now, but I worry. Also felt a little off. Didn't finish my workout. Maybe I'm just lazy?

I spread some rocks around the backyard. By the side of the house. Dust. Dust is the enemy. Maybe I just need paranoia-style plastic sheets to hang up. I can wrap duct tape around old boards and nail them up to look crazy. I think I want to live in a haunted-looking house. Actually I know I do.

A long time ago I was thinking about making conical, tooth-like structures for the front yard. Not sharp, but enough to look like dog teeth. Building materials are getting more expensive right now so it's not a terribly good time for a vanity project but still...

Houndstooth!

That was close. It still may be close. Took my last brain pill this morning. My brain doctor and the pharmacy can't seem to get on the same page. I've been told that I should be able to get a refill today. I'll keep an ear out. I don't recall ever going off this medication for any period of time and I'm unfamiliar with what to expect.

This weekend, I went over to Emma and Chris's house to play Magic: The Gathering and eat food. I didn't play any Magic, but I did eat food. Magic is a game I enjoy playing, especially when I haven't paid for it. The cost of new cards was significant back when I was playing. It's a fun hobby and I could easily rationalize it then. I cannot do so now.

Bamboo plant Gamma sent up a shoot. I am pleased. Four of the seven have sent up shoots that I noticed. Tis a good sign.
