A quick PSA:

At least three people have sent me the story about the UK couple allegedly arrested, held, and then deported from the USA for something they said on Twitter.

So far, the story is not credible, because it comes from The Daily Mail and The Sun. That's like sourcing a story from "Fox Onion Huffington Daily World News". Yes, ABC has it... sourced to The Sun. Yes, CNN has it - sourced to The Mail.

Until a real source has real quotes, that they got THEMSELVES and aren't just repeating from a source known to invent anything they want to make their story cooler, I don't believe it.

In the mean time, here, have a real story: Virginia Senator amends anti-abortion bill to require men to get a rectal exam and a cardiac stress test before receiving viagra.

CHEEEEEEEEEEESE.

KITTEN!

How I know I am all grown up now.

I took today off work, just because. I carried my phone and checked my email semi-regularly, but I didn't do any real work because I didn't want to.[0]

Instead, I spent this morning cleaning. I threw out the garbage, scooped Angry Cat's litter (she glared at me), replaced Stinky Cat's litter (he promptly pooped in it), and poop-scooped the Back Yarde because Ye Furbeaste likes to crap there while she's saving the neighbourhood from SQUIRREL. I returned empty bottles, sorted the recycling, and did grocery shopping.

Interesting side note: Costco's units of measure for meat are oddly inconsistent. For example, I picked up 0.4 hemicows of ground beef, and okay, I can deal with that, but at the same time one box over they're measuring chicken in decapoultry.

Anyway!

I came home, put stuff away, cleaned the kitchen, and started cooking.

I have cooked ALL the things. And then I realised we were missing some stuff and I went out for more groceries. And I walked the dogmonster.

So: I spent my "day off" cleaning, cooking, going to FIVE DIFFERENT STORES[1], shovelling the driveway four separate times[2], cleaning some more, doing chores, and taking care of the monsters.

And I know I am all grown up now because this wasn't an annoying day, it wasn't an aggravating day. It was a FUN day.


So I bought 3kg of peanut M&Ms because THAT IS WHAT ADULTS DO.


[0]: NB: I can do this. I don't get PAID when I do this, but I can do this.

[1]: The Beer Store (yes, that, is its full and proper name) to return empties. Costco for a couple of necessities and some food. Regular grocery store because Costco didn't have some things and wanted me to buy 12 of the others. LCBO for wine and AwesomeBeer for dinner. Farm Boy for this lovely Tuscan Ciabatta that will go perfectly with dinner, and that I forgot at the Normal Grocery Store.

[2]: IT ARE SNO.
