Lyda here. I’m 98% sure that it’s the little things in life that bring me joy. To demonstrate: 

At my final after-surgery exam on Friday, my doctor said I’m 98% healed. I posed the following question, “Hypothetically, if there were a man in my life right now…” Ya’ll know I had to ask. I almost titled this post “Hypothetical Gentle Sex”. Oh, think of the hits! And in two or three weeks, Hypothetical Rough Sex…

I’m 98% sure ya’ll will love “Death Star Whitewash” on Paddy K’s blog. Hint: It’s funny. Very.I’m sending the link to GAAE bro, as I’m 98% sure he’s stopped reading the blog again.

The possibility is 98% that we will have more rain today. We’ve had just a little in the last two days here at Pollyanna West. So far, there haven’t been any mudslides in the burned areas. But I’m 98% sure that the local news will continue to cover each raindrop individually. “Tell me, what made you decide to go into precipitation as a career?” And they’ll keep us all updated on Brittany. ‘Cause that’s important stuff, ya’ll.

I’m 98% sure I’ll mention zombies somewhere in this post. Again, I mean.

I’m 98% sure that the second package of batting – which was identical to the first package in every way - should have held the SAME AMOUNT OF BATTING as the first package. It didn’t, as I found out this morning when I tried to layer and pin together the Frog Prince Quilt.

Therefore, I’m 98% certain that I will be heading to the fabric store for some more batting today. I’m more than 98% not in a financial position to buy anything with actual cash, but luckily, I have a gift card. I’m 98% certain that I have the best friends in the world. Wait, make that a thousand percent sure.

I’m 98% sure that the manager and the mechanic at my local Discount Tire Centers are saints. I had a flat, and they fixed the tire for me for free. Ya’ll keep your screws out of the road, okay? We all know screws should be in the gutter.

I’m 98% sure that the Resident Sith Master will play video games much of today.

I’m 98% sure that Tommy the Sith Apprentice Cat will sleep much of the day.

I’m 98% sure that I’ll cast on the scarf for GAAE bro today. Okay, maybe 85%… Would you believe 70%?

Either way, I’m 98% sure that today will be a great day. Maybe I’ll even cook… but I don’t have a 98% guarantee on that.

Rainy days are made for zombie movies. A purring cat, a zombie movie, and my son – it doesn’t get any better than that.

See, I told you a zombie mention was 98% certain.

Comment by Marin

Heh heh. I thought you’d appreciate that, Marin. “Why don’t we duh it in the road…”

I heard “You’ve got the best of my duh” this morning. I laughed so hard the other drivers moved away.
