I need my fake coffee and hot water in the morning. I don&#8217;t seem to be suffering any ill effects from the time change, though I did stay in bed until much later than usual (not that I wasn&#8217;t awake; my brain was making too much noise and I had to put the ear buds in and listen to some Pumpkin Radio). Now I&#8217;m trying to muster up the ambition to head out to Pixley for the weekly supplies.<\/p>\n<p>I wish I could sit down and explain things to animals.  Like, I&#8217;d like to talk to the mice and tell them to just stay away from the house so I don&#8217;t have to kill them.  I mean, I wouldn&#8217;t really even mind them just staying in the basement if they&#8217;d just go outside to shit and piss.  It&#8217;s kind of icky to find mouse turds floating in the cobwebs down there.  I&#8217;d also like to explain to my dog why it isn&#8217;t a good idea to come in and lay down directly behind my office chair, because I really don&#8217;t want to roll over him (also, if you see me coming, either get up <strong><em>before<\/em><\/strong> I have to step over you, or after I&#8217;ve gone by, but <strong><em>please<\/em><\/strong> don&#8217;t get up <strong><em>while<\/em><\/strong> I stepping over you).  And if I could explain to the cats that the dogs won&#8217;t chase them if they just wouldn&#8217;t run, they&#8217;d be much happier.  Since they chase each other around, I don&#8217;t know why they seem to get so bent out of shape when the dogs chase them.<\/p>\n<p>Oh well, time to get going.  There&#8217;s an hour less of the weekend to get in before the dreaded arrival of Monday morning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Time to play that semi-annual game of &#8220;how many goddamn clocks do we have in this house, anyway?&#8221; Soon to be followed by a round of &#8220;how to I change the clock on the car stereo?&#8221; I think I&#8217;ve managed to catch almost all of them &#8211; especially the ones that matter &#8211; the thermostats, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7813","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.morningseditionists.com\/msblog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7813","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.morningseditionists.com\/msblog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.morningseditionists.com\/msblog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.morningseditionists.com\/msblog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.morningseditionists.com\/msblog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7813"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.morningseditionists.com\/msblog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7813\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7814,"href":"https:\/\/www.morningseditionists.com\/msblog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7813\/revisions\/7814"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.morningseditionists.com\/msblog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7813"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.morningseditionists.com\/msblog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7813"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.morningseditionists.com\/msblog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7813"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
