if iran really wants to shut down the strait of hormuz, the americans should help them out by blockading it.

remember oil for food? they don't, apparently.

it is hot in here, no doubt. there was some wind today, but it knocked over my fan and broke it, which makes it that much worse tonight. i need to buy some new fans. the low tonight is apparently 25 degrees with 35 degree humidity. that's very warm for this climate. the high today was 35 degrees.

i slept very briefly last night after i had the soup, and then spent the night organizing the living room, which is the recording space. i am not actually setting anything up yet, i'm just organizing it in place so i can clean and can more effectively get the new couch in, when the idiot property managers replace it. the more i think about this, the more i'm convinced that it's just rank, abject dumb. i'll take the new couch one way or another, thanks.

the thrown out or stolen couch was my dad's couch. i think he bought it around 2005ish, because it smelled like one of my golden retrievers, who had died years previously. he himself died in 2013. i didn't ask for the couch, but my stepmother instantly discards of everything and anything, and is somewhat psychotic about it, often rebuying items she discarded of for no good reason. it was loaded onto the truck and transported to windsor. i've moved it three times, and now it's apparently thrown away. i still have the cushions....

but you can't just throw out my couch. that's ridiculous. you're going to buy me a new couch, the easy way or the hard way. as the couch was about 20 years old, i suppose i'm due for a new one. so, thanks?

i got most of the way done, stopped to make poutine early in the morning (6:00) and fell asleep again, this time until about 15:00. i spent the evening exfoliating again, made some more soup this evening, slept again and now need to get back to finishing organizing the space and cleaning the floor. the very hot, humid weather has got me sweating off piles of dead skin, which is what i wanted. and i'm due for a major shower. there's a list of things i need to do in the next few days that are long overdue.

so, let me get back to this - dishes, coffee, cleaning. i might have the entire space set back up by mid day.
