Getting paid to do what you love - Excellent.

I have a lot of bubble-wrap. Big ones, too. None of that tame stuff.

Right now I'm just enjoying foreplay. Just rubbing it enough to feel the tension rolling beneath my finger. Popping comes later.

I find that bubble wrap kinda loses its appeal after you've popped a lot of bubbles. One sheet is fun, the second less so, and by the third you're just trying to pop all the bubbles with a few twists.
Maybe I'm just getting old :/

Once upon a time when I was a kid...

During one of my many MANY moves when I was a kid and my dad was in the Navy, I got ahold of bubble wrap that had been used to wrap something extremely fragile. It was one of those moments in childhood that you feel like you have just received the most glorious play toy in the world because up to then it's just a few quick mischievous pops from wrap that you just randomly come across. This was a long sheet of it, too.

I took that sheet of bubble wrap and I popped every single bubble. You want to know what I discovered during that moment?

After about the thirtieth pop, popping bubble wrap is actually not that glorious anymore. I actually had one of those "what the hell am I standing here wasting my time doing?" moments.

I discarded the sheet and moved on with my day. Feeling wiser. Bubble wrap is only fun when you just randomly come across it and you just get in those one or two pops for giggles and to remember the sensation of it. Anything else loses its meaning.

Yah. For a while the work I did included wrapping computer monitors in either large sheets of bw, or bw bags. You get creative, like riding a fork lift over a sheet of bw, but it's just not that magical anymore.

Korra! Ahhh!

Also won a battle about a warranty, so replacement mattress free of charge .

Jeeze, two very different parts of my life.... The happy child and the angry adult. The first is a much better state.

It is, friend.

When you have something to tell someone, of course it's still good to reflect upon it prior, but when you actually get to them or you actually get that keyboard, just make it decisive.

[Hong]

I know, dear.

I'm so sick, that when I slept through an hour and a half of alarms blaring next to my head and got to school 2 hours late for a 3 hour class, I looked sick enough that the prof didn't mark me absent.

Score!
