Something good, something tasty
I’m going to put you on your heads, now, and smash the gloom that has been my blog with something that gloom-smashes like nothing else does.
Marion called me over to bestow upon my lips a luscious cupcake from Cupcake Royale.
If you’ve ever sampled one of Cupcake Royales fine delectables, then you already understand how something like that can brighten my day so much. Those of you who have not: get ye a cupcake. Try not to smile. I dare you. If you don’t, just go ahead and off yourself. Save the gene pool from your happy-hating transgressions.
Of course, maybe it was the gesture I needed. It made me feel pretty good, better about the things I’ve been nervous about.
Now if only the Twix I had given her when I went to see her was as awesome as a cupcake from Cupcake Royale. I’ll make up for it.
I wanted to take a picture of the cupcake. But I nommed it before I thought of saying a word about this.

iPhone, you’re the silliest
Something a lot of you might know about me: I go to bed late on most of my "me" nights. Sometimes I can’t settle down so I do something to get sleepy. Sometimes I just lose track of time while I’m futzing with something. Mostly, my body just doesn’t say, "ok, time to go to sleep," until about 1:30 to 2:00.
After my last blog post last night, I had a talk with my girlfriend. Things are a lot clearer and my headspace cleared considerably, as I said it would. After she left, I decided that given my stress level, I would make the conscious effort to turn in early. So I did. 11:30 my head was on the pillow. I willed my ass to sleep. Given my general fatigue with yesterday, it wasn’t as hard as it normally might have been.
This morning I wake up. Biologically, on my own. That’s pretty normal when my phone doesn’t go off at 7:00 like it should. Wait… Phone didn’t go off. I look over and the screen says, "connect me to iTunes!". I had left my computer on last night for some reason or other, so I went ahead and did that. It re-activated and all was right. Not the first time that’s happened.
Great so I went to bed early, figured I’d not hit the snooze ten times before getting up, and the result was the same. It’s always something.
So I’m walking in to work, late, when I text Marion to see if she would still like to have breakfast with me. She’s busy, let’s try another time, etc. etc., when my phone just shuts off. Apple logo. Oh; it’s rebooting.
And……"please connect to iTunes," graphic re-appears. Followed by another text message from Marion. That I can’t answer. Because my phone is locked up.
So I get to work and I swing past Mar’s cube. I show her my screen, with the locked-up screen and her unanswerable text message on top of it taunting me. "Sorry, I couldn’t answer your texts after this came up." She looks less than impressed with me. Well shit. So I walked away and left her be. So I’m telling myself that maybe she’s just not having a good morning with work, not necessarily me. It is month-end at work, after all.
I’m making a list of items that I need to buy that are not loan-expensive, but more than I should ever drop without saving up first. I’m already working on paying some debts down. As soon as my finances get caught up, I think a new iPhone is going at the top of that list. I don’t like long-faulty gadgets fucking over my mornings.
Edit: It was me .
