That feeling when you're buying a car and you get to the point it would have been really useful to have the V5 for your trade-in with you, but it hasn't arrived yet so you can't do everything but then the postie is literally stuffing it in your letterbox as you arrive home from the dealership.

Today is my anniversary. Not like that. On 9th Feb 2021 I came within the narrowest of margins of dying from COVID-related blood clots. I survived, with some irreparable life-altering damage and spent a total of four months in hospital that year.

A dream in which you were cooking a chicken and ham pie in your bread machine. Under your desk at work.
Then you kick it over and there's hot, squidgy pie bits everywhere.
NGL, I'm sad about the lost pie.

That feeling when you live alone but a sock appears in your bathroom, apparently of its own volition.
I mean, it is one of mine, but I'm not in the habit of flinging them along the side of the toilet, you know?

One of the machines at work got taken out by this yesterday. I lost most of my day starting to sort it out and calm an upset workchum who was unable to do her own work. I'll lose more time today reinstalling. Really nice job, M$.
