My two biggest respiratory allergies:
- Cottonwood Trees
- Alfalfa (Lucerne)

So *of course* the new house we moved into is a mile down the road from several large alfalfa fields in a state where Cottonwood is the state tree.

That's some top-end advanced scouting on my part. 🤦‍♂️

And now, a scene from my brain.

"My new macbook is almost out of diskspace. WTF. This is a brand new M2 with a terabyte of storage. No way I only have 30 gig left. Dammit, MacOS must be doing something stupid, or cloud sync is piling stuff on I don't wa... wait... uhh...

I just asked for help to people on discord and almost sent an official support request to the devs of a game because I couldn't play it even if I purchased it...then I realized I was just signing in with the wrong account from which I never bought the game :ablobspin: #IAmAnIdiot #blasphemytoot

You ever wanna get fucked so hard your back's thrown out...but your back is already trashed, so you're left horny, un-fucked, and bitching about it on social media? #sex #iamanidiot

I decided to warm my bike up in the garage and give it a proper scrub.... and because I'm an idiot, I now know that my carbon monoxide alarms work great.

That moment of terror when you turn the handle and push on a door, but it doesn't budge. But wait, then you pull the door and voilà you are free. Sweet sweet freedom! #doorsarehaaaard #iamanidiot

OMG! Did you know you could tap anywhere on the big mouse square on your laptop- not just use the tiny hidden buttons at the bottom of it? Years...Years I have used laptops wearing out my finger and those hidden buttons! OMG. 🤯 #StillLearning #Tips #Laptops #IAmAnIdiot #Work

Avoided offers by my GP aka Dracula to give him my blood for 20 yrs as I was scared. Didn't want to know. Didn't want to end up on a merry-go-round of tests & scans spinning me into the palliative care ward. Besides, my mother was a hypochondriac so as the proverbial black sheep of the family it's my duty to do the opposite of what she did. But secretly worried. For 20 yrs.

Finally caved & gave him the bloody blood to shut him up.

Result: Perfect health
