Shenanigans and injuries

Today I looked up the expression

The bane of my existence.

I didn’t really know what it meant, so I wanted to ensure I was using it in the correct context.

Detouring with a little rant

Disclaimer: This is a rant about covid. If you live in an American State or some nation that is open for business as usual, please don’t comment here with a political agenda.

Please and thank you. I’m just ranting here to get the unfairness of all this crap out of my system. #SorryNotSorry

An ordinary day when nothing happened

I used to like this lamp.

A friend who knows how to install electric things without electrocuting himself or others installed it.

It hangs over the dining table.

I now hate this lamp.
