checking X replies and adding my usual insightful and intriguing intellectual gold comments was a real challenge this morning.

I wasn't able to get to my ecobee thermostat through my desktop browser this morning, although the app seemed to work.
It seems to be fixed now.

My toaster didn't work this morning. As a result I had to cook my pop tart on an upturned Rowenta steam iron. As a result of that, there are now streaks of frosted strawberry all over the front of my manager-approved workshirt, which is a torn hipster flannel anyway. I might end up having to drive over to Goodwill and purchase a replacement, which will inevitably result in talking with and hooking up with a 47 year-old frustrated housewife with hoarding issues. Stupid Cloudflare.
