Thomas Midgely. The inventor of both leaded petrol and ozone destroying CFCs subsequently invented a rope system to help himself get out of bed because he had issues from past polio. The ropes killed him by strangling him.

Huh. this just broke my brain too. Have never had the thought that I would see 2100, because I wonβt. But I guess with average lifespan being in the mid 80s thereβs plenty of people alive today who will. Well, thatβs made me feel irrelevant.
~~This year~~ *Last year I started to need reading glasses for the first time. Was noticing tiny print was hard to read. Screens and books were still ok. But has been progressing and now I find myself holding books too far away, and I need brighter light to read, ugh guess I need to actually wear the glasses. Might be time to recheck the prescription too. Sigh. Aging is rubbish. I would like my 21 year old body back please, but keep my current brain.
*2025 still not seeped into brain yet.
Went for a walk and it feels cool outside. Good, because means house will take longer to heat up tomorrow.
All my favourite things.
Only 356 days until Christmas.
Eh, it happens. Been cooking for a long time and sometimes the mishaps all stack together and the whole process is kerfuffle from start to end. Hope the Kerfuffle cupcakes tastes good anyway.
Itβs the only time of year I wish I lived in a rougher area. I donβt have a view of the city, so some illegal fireworks might be nice. Where are all the ferals when you need them.
Happy 2025! The future is here!
I feel some point in February I blinked and when I opened my eyes it was New Yearβs Eve. Where did the year go, I swear itβs faster every year. Thereβs been some ups and downs, and lots of things same as ever that wish I had managed to change, but it was not to be, such is life. Anyway, cheers DT. Hope you are enjoying the night whether itβs staying in or going out, whether you are partying hard or in quiet contemplation. May 2025 be a year of good things ahead.
Not sure whatβs in the odor bags, but possibly activated carbon. It soaks up stinks. You can buy them for home too.
If you want extra fancy, have you heard of Stained Glass jelly. Chunks of multicoloured jelly set in white sweetened condensed milk jelly. I remember it from when I was a kid but hardly see it anymore.
