I tackled a small painting project I've been putting off for forever. :hadron: I also watched my guys install the new microwave. :heart:
You got a new microwave and I got a new fridge!

We've gone through a few microwaves in the 10 years here. The best one was an old Breville. What happened to your old one? The fan stopped working in our old one.

Sugarbutt said our microwave was 18 years old.  :o  Maybe about a decade ago, a power surge or something hit it and the only thing that worked was the add 30 seconds button, and the cancel/stop button. We only used it for heating things and popcorn, so repeatedly pressing the 30 second button worked fine and we've been doing that ever since.   :dunno:
It finally stopped working completely, and that made us give a crap enough to get a new one.  :lol1:

Today's Google Doodle is Double Cicada Brood 2024



This Doodle celebrates “cicada-geddon” where two broods of cicadas — brood XIII and XIX — will start to crawl up from the soil. This event is as uncommon as it is strange to witness. The last time the U.S. saw these two broods flying together was over 200 years ago! Brood XII comes out every 17 years in the Midwest, while brood XIX emerges every 13 years and will swarm across the Midwest and Southeast. That means some states, like Illinois, will see both groups of cicadas at once!

These bugs are about 2 inches long with bright red eyes and iridescent wings, and they begin to surface when it hits about 64° F. Cicadas are only above ground for about 5 weeks and then disappear again for 13 or 17 years. This underground period is why cicadas have some of the longest lifespans amongst insects ’ even though we only see them briefly.

As the cicada shells pile up on trees and sidewalks and the buzzing fills your ears, try not to let them bug you. These clumsy insects fly by the trillions but don’t sting, bite, or poison. Plus, many predictions show they’ll be out of your hair by late June, leaving behind a feast for local animals like birds and raccoons.

So there’s no need to brood when this cicada party ends — a different group will be back before you know it!

Two very different subjects. Political Science would have been over my head.

I went to court today, The next step of the arrangements for "The Driver" is the 14th of June. He wanted to get released, but due to the new law in Illinois I never knew about and the judge's precautions she didn't want to risk it.

Today I turned my mattress around. I didn't realise it was so heavy. So it took me some time, turning it bit by bit. It didn't help that my bedroom is small. But it's done along with different sheets, pillowcases and my winter doona. I'm typing this now with Rowan asleep on my legs.

Periodic showers. It's just started raining now again. 15.2°C at 2:10pm.

The six months before this rain started was the driest on record.

Yeah, I did... just need to not panic before going to sleep.
Your meds make you panic? That's no good.

I took my meds. I also made sure Kayleigh took hers. It's the first thing I do every morning.
