I’m sick of snotty clients and other late-night confessions.

It’s very early Sunday morning — okay, just past midnight on Saturday night — and I’M SICK OF SNOTTY CLIENTS. I refer specifically to one in particular who knows less than nothing about the Internet, and then after I spend two hours updating her stupid website she sends an insulting email suggesting that I’m SENILE. She says I didn’t make even one of the website edits she requested but had the gall to charge her $100. As a result she’s “sincerely concerned” that I must be experiencing health problems and no longer have adequate marbles to continue as a designer. I write back that every stinking edit was completed yesterday exactly as requested, and if she’d take a minute to clear the cache on her browser — which I suggested 24 hours ago when I told her everything was finished — she’d be able see the changes for herself. I thanked her for being concerned about my health but suggested that she hire a middle-school student to explain the basics of the Internet.

Holy crap, people. Let’s move on.

Today’s exciting featured purchase is from HSN.com, where I ordered myself the following really cool kitchen accessory! It’s a black steel rolling island/cart by Origami with a nice fat butcher block top and a couple of swell shelves. The whole thing folds up teeny to store in a closet if you want to, but I already know I won’t want to because I can’t get around any more without a cane and it’s practically impossible to carry multiple items one-handed from the pantry to the counter to the refrigerator and so on. I’ve been needing a kitchen helper, and now I’ve got one!

This cart was a Saturday-only “Show Stopper” special at $50 off the regular price, and HSN’s website shows 340 five-star customer reviews. Even better, it holds up to 275 pounds so I can give Sam a ride whenever he wants one!

Saturday was exceedingly stupid around here. After a moderately lousy night due to knee pain I eventually managed to sleep until 10:45 this morning followed immediately by a depressing early lunch. The key word here is “depressing” because my taste buds were shot to hell. This is yet another sporadic yet severely annoying form of diabetic neuropathy whereby food has no flavor whatsoever even when you bury it in salt and hot sauce. (I know, I’ve tried.) So around 12:30 p.m., feeling miserable, I slumped onto the chaise in the family room and SLEPT FOR FIVE AND A HALF HOURS. When I woke up at 6 my taste buds were about 75% improved just in time for dinner, for which I was eternally grateful.

As I write this post I’m enjoying a tall Coke Zero and a chewy Atkins low-carb Dark Chocolate Decadence snack bar, pictured below. These bars are mighty tasty but can be a real challenge for an older person with dentures. Trust me, you have to eat  v-e-r-y   s-l-o-w-l-y.

In case you’re wondering if I’ve downloaded any more new fonts, here they are! Incidentally, if you like any of these — or any of the other new fonts I’ve posted from time to time — please let me know (click here) and I’ll be glad to send them to you. They’re all in TrueType or OpenType format and a lot of them include an assortment of different styles (light, regular, semi-bold, bold, black, italic, and so on). However I realize that very few people give a crap about this besides me.

Wow, it’s really late. If I don’t get some sleep I’ll be too tired to go out for lunch today with Sam! Thank you for reading this.
