Look what surprised me on my first trip into the kitchen. It’s a scorpion. Decent size, too. Fortunately, it was dead thanks to my recent exterminator visit.

After yesterday’s fall, I feel like I have been run over - twice- by a Mack truck. Everything hurts.

In other news…Apple support ran a remote diagnostic on my iPhone. It needs a new battery. They will replace it for under $100. Still, cheaper than a new phone.
