Journal Entry Saturday, August 29, 2026

I woke up in not-all-here mode.

I was thinking of the song Interesting Drug by Morrissey when I first woke up, and thinking of the lyric ‘An internet scheme designed to kill your dreams…’ but I was thinking, ‘That can’t be right because that song came out before the internet.’

So I reached for my phone to look up the lyrics. One of the dogs, sometime in the night, had crumpled up the rug beside my bed and, at the same time, knocked my phone off my dresser. My phone was buried in the rug. I had to pull it up to get my phone.

Then, there was some schmutz on the screen in the shape of a dog’s paw. I decided to just get up at that point, but I had to straighten out the rug because the dog had also buried my slippers in the rug.

I finally get my slippers out of the rug and head to the kitchen. I figure I’ll make, about how annoying this process was for me at first, but now I do it without even thinking about what I’m doing.

While I have the coffee and the tea going, I get a wipe to get the schmutz off my phone screen and glance at my coffee because it shouldn’t be still brewing, but it is, then I realize what I have done.

Usually I make one big cup and one smallest cup, today I did two big cups so I had to put a measuring cup under the flow so coffee wouldn’t brew everywhere.

Then I got the wipe to remove the schmutz off my phone screen. It didn’t all come off; it may be scratched.

By this time, the song lyric was a distant memory.

Pause here while I look this up.

Interesting drug was released in April 1989. The lyric is,

“On a Government scheme designed to kill your dreams…”

Now we all know.

That is all for me today.

Have a great Saturday.
