Be warned, this is gross:

Men’s Hygiene Is in a Very Sorry State
Reddit has disabused me of any notion that men know how to clean themselves.

MIL and I "arguing" about wife's return last nite for a good 15 mins. Ifs, buts, stupid stuff. I thot wife was coming home that nite. MIL thot diff. Finally I asked her why she was so insistant (bc I had my reasons too). She answered, because it's on the schedule. Well, if you fucking knew that, why didn't you just point it out? I retorted. Because I thought you knew. Was I talking like I did? FFS, don't let me go on being wrong!

Japanese thought process is beyond me. Too much assumption.

Cookie carried a pinecone around for the entirety of her walk. She’s very proud of it.

If I can keep out of the sun and the temp stayed as it is right now (18°) I would be very content. Alas, it won’t.

My left ankle appears to be much improved. Right is a little better. I now think I have an idea what I did to make them complain. Guess they needed a break, but will start taking some collagen anyway since should help in general. And my "left arm is numb when I wake up" thing appears to fine now - after the head & neck massage after a haircut last week.
So basically I've been whinging about nothing. Which is about right for me I guess.

I've started down a copy editing rabbit hole and I'm loving it.

I wanted to remove the word "basically" from any old blog post where it didn't make sense. (you don't "basically, do something" you "do something")

As I was going through I kept on finding other examples of words that could be clipped.

• essentially
• probably
• possibly
• just
• you need to
• trivial

This isn't even the full list!

80% of the time the sentence reads better without further edits

Trying to convince myself that it's ok to buy a thing that is just for myself. Looked at the price in GBP and now it seems so ridiculously cheap that I shouldn't even think twice. But still hesitating.
