Sometimes, you should be really careful about how you decide to abbreviate things.
Monday wasn’t that fun. A bunch of stuff broke, and I had to fix most of it. At least some of the fixes I put in worked properly, but I won’t know if it’s all fixed until tomorrow morning. What [...]

There are all kinds of things that are wrong with this picture. Mushy peas are not a main dish, for instance.
Sunday wasn’t all that interesting.  I don’t know what I’ll find when I get to work on Monday, but at least I’ll only have to work 4 days this week.

Hm. Lots of stuff happened last week. Saw the family, had various relatives over for dinner, saw a minor-league baseball game, visited wonderful downtown Midland. Only got one call from work, which was nice.

I forgot my lunch on Monday. That was annoying. But they were serving pizza in the cafeteria, so it was all good. Now I have to figure out what to do about all the monitoring infrastructure at work, since what we’ve got now could probably be simplified and made to cost less.

Language change can bring unintentional hilarity, as seen in this image from the June 23, 1898 issue of the Ohio Farmer.
Sunday, some people from Fetch Pet Care of Tempe/Mesa came by to take a look at Moira and pick up the house keys. They’ll be taking care of her next week while I’m visiting [...]
