good news for once

The costume co. I maligned with fervor a few posts back (now FL'ed) has received an unexpected shipment that includes the costume in question in the correct size. They actually called me as soon as they got it, so big points to them for following up. They're sending it out right away, so it looks like we'll have our costumes for Halloween after all.

The forecast for tomorrow's weather includes the Dread 'S' Word. My first thought was that it was my least favorite word associated with winter, but then the forecast went on to say that they weren't expecting it to do the 'A' word, which is kinda good news (relatively speaking) and which means the 'A' word must, by logic, be even more dread than the 'S' word. Then after another moment's thought I realized that s***, even when it a********** (which'll it'll be too warm to do tomorrow) is still much preferable to f******* r***.

All of which got me thinking about other things I most hate about winter. And because I dunno if it traumatizes the rest of you as much as it does me, I put it all in a (single) cryptogram for you:

you know what I wish?

I wish that when you set a picture as your desktop wallpaper, if the picture is bigger than your screen, rather than shrinking the picture your monitor would just get larger.
