Crazy workplace may kill me yet. I'm getting too old for all of this aggravation. I want to retire and write my novels. Also live closer to the beach or in the mountains or near more trees.

I read on either FB or Instagram, Ladystarlight's review of a book about Hex Twists - or how to twist a hex. Which she states is useful, if someone has put a hex on you, and you need to do a counter-spell or a protection spell regarding it.

I don't believe in that stuff. But, I admittedly would like to put a hex on a few lawyers...

There's something karmic about this. I'm being tortured by lawyers and have been for the last four years now. Is Universe torturing me for going to law school or for failing to actually practice law?

Speaking of lawyers - the new hurricane is named after one of mine.

Be nice if it skipped over my relatives and just took out the lawyers running my agency.

It's currently in line to crash into my Aunts and poor Uncle, whose 2022 isn't going much better than mine. They live in the Tampa Bay area - and that's Ian's current trajectory. Mother worries about it hitting her.

Stay away from my Momma, you pesky hurricane, and attack my annoying lawyers instead, they deserve it, she doesn't.

I have mice again. Or I've always had them, but they run over from the next door apartment to check out my digs - because I wasn't being vigilante about putting out the mint tea bags. (I put them out.) Either that - or they figured the coast was clear now that no one was painting any longer, and they'd waited long enough.

At any rate I put out a ton of super-strong mint tea bags last night - so strong that I could smell them. Mice apparently hate mint. I have no idea as to why.

I'd get a cat - but, 1) allergic, 2) they don't necessarily kill the mice, they play with them - often in bed with you, and the mice would eat the cat food, 3) if they do eat the mice, they eat everything but the innards, so you have to clean up stomach parts and just eww.

I had cats as a kid. And my brother has them. We also had mice, as does he.

Arcane stuck with me long after I completed it - which bodes well for a television series or anything really, considering how easily I forget things now. There's books I've reviewed that I can't remember reading. Also, I apparently visited my parents in the Spring of 2019, but I have no memory of it. Just proof of the plane tickets. It's very odd.

Twitter ...

Quote that went viral that is inspiring an essay by the person who did the quote..

Having family and a support system near where you live is a form of generational wealth. It’s an invisible advantage that’s unnoticed and taken for granted unless you don’t have it.

She's talking about being a mother with a sick kid. But I think this is true of everyone. My mother has no family near where she lives now - just a lot of friends - my brother and I will have to figure out what to do about it at some point. I also don't have any family near me - although they are closer in proximity to me than her - my brother is three-four hours away in NY.

Twitter music questions that I can't answer..

1. What is the coolest guitare of all time?(I've no clue - apparently there are a lot of guitars to choose from??)
2. What album has no bad songs? (I'm sure there is one out there, I just can't think of it at the moment.)
3. Not counting Jimi Hendrix,Eric Clapton, or Jimmy Page…who’s your top 3 Guitarists? [I don't really have any favorite guitarists? Maybe Michael Hedges or Elvis, Joan Jett, and Chuck Berry?)
4. Queens top 5 songs vs The Who’s top 5 songs ….who wins? - God knows.
5.What’s your favorite Acoustic driven Rock n roll song? - is there one?

Meanwhile Twitter asks what your top five Buffy quotes are...

Me: Twitter doesn't provide enough characters for my favorite quotes
V: Post them in more than one tweet
Me: My quotes would take up several tweets just for two to three quotes..

Let's face it Buffy had some long-ass quotes.

Music Meme

Name the music genres that you like, list five performers in it that you like and songs or albums by them.

[Sigh, it just occurred to me that if you are like me and have wildly eclectic taste... this could take forever.]

I'm going to bed instead. You can do it. Or maybe, if you are really lucky or unlucky (depending on your point of view) and assuming, I remember (which is iffy at this point), I'll do it later in the week.
