Error 502 that keeps happening

I was picking up my trash in my apartment, I hurt my arm. I was tired all day, didn’t feel like doing much on the Internet.

Took my 13 year dog to the vet this morning. Turns out his body was shot through with cancer and I had to have him put down.

I hope posting something that made me unhappy yesterday rather than today is acceptable:

I watched an episode of the new Lost In Space with my children and one of them, a boy, sat next to me in an oversized chair. It's summer, he plays hard and like most young boys, doesn't care to bathe. Smelly boy. It was very distracting to me. I coped by breathing through my mouth for the whole episode. I'm hyper-sensitive to all senses but taste. I was VERY close to asking him to move and VERY close to saying out loud: "You smell!". I refrained from doing either.

I felt bad that I could not have just noted his odor and then put it out of my mind thereby fully enjoying the gift of being close to him.

I told my wife about it at bedtime and how I felt bad about it. She reminded me how it would have been very bad for me to tell him that he smelled and told me to be sure to refrain from acting on that impulse if such a situation arises in the future.

still not a lotto winner.

Trigger Warning: this is about something terrible and terminal happening to a wild animal and me discovering it after the fact in a horrible way. Skip this post if you think it will upset you. I've put the sad part in a quote box. [edit in: I am OK, and I gave the poor creature a decent burial ASAP after discovering it.]

Think something went wrong with the quoting

Aches and pains
