We’re sitting shiva today at Howdygram headquarters because MY GODDAMN TASTE BUDS ARE DEAD AGAIN. This is a come-and-go by-product of diabetic neuropathy — along with difficulty swallowing, shortness of breath, low body temperature, screaming nerves in your hands and feet — that makes my second-favorite hobby a thoroughly miserable experience. You know, EATING THINGS. (My first-favorite hobby is writing the Howdygram.) Last night’s dinner (spicy shrimp ramen in a bowl) was just fine but this morning’s toasty English muffin with I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter and pepper jack cheese tasted like a MOUSE PAD.
Therefore, to cheer myself up I just bought a fantastic new tape dispenser for the study from Amazon that holds two rolls of tape at the exact same time — including TWO-INCH CLEAR SHIPPING TAPE — with a bonus built-in pencil cup. If you’re wondering how come I suddenly got inspired to buy a tape dispenser, this morning Sam tried to package a bag of leftover chrome cabinet handles so we can ship them back to Amazon for a refund and wound up losing a 30-minute wrestling match with our tape gun. Afterwards I promised to find a better way ... AND I DID. Stay tuned for a product review next week.
Have a really pleasant day, okay?
