I was sleeping quite happily. Then my body decided I should wake up for no reason at 4am. Now I can't get back to sleep because my nose is producing enough mucous to entangle a small child.

eewwwwwww

RAEGE: Cat. In my porridge.

Also the porridge is terrible anyway because I used the wrong cats.

FTFY

Terraria decided to suddenly delete a character I had been playing for weeks. No warning, no reason, no backup. I was so infuriated that I deleted Terraria from my system, including the save folder.

Woke up early to go to lab, opened computer, received an email an hour ago saying not to go this week.

It could be worse, you could have been woken up by a charlie-horse. Worst, Alarm-clock, EVER. Seriously it's just like, sleep, sleep, OH GOD WHY IS THERE PAIN. Followed by me flying out of bed (because standing/bouncing on a charlie-horse is the only thing I've found that helps) and ramming in to the bed post.

Wut?

Charlie horse is a colloquial term for severe cramping, usually of the legs.

Eat a banana and drink some water, Tim. Hydration and potassium are the two best ways to prevent cramps.

So, I finally found my ipod's usb cable after searching intensively for it over the past couple of days, almost giving into despair as my ipod sat there dormant.

IT WAS RIGHT UNDER MY NOSE ON THE FUCKING DESK WHERE I THOUGHT IT WAS IN THE FIRST PLACE AAAGH

I know, I'm terrible about my potassium intake. It happens maybe once every month or two, I really should get on that. The problem is, my kids devour bananas like sweets, so it's rare we have any long enough for them to get to the stage of ripeness I like.

If you want to be a cheating bastard, you could order some potassium citrate and just mix a bit in with your drinks every now and again. Be careful not to overdose, and don't bother with pills (which are legally required to supply no more than 3% of the daily recommended intake apiece in order to prevent people overdosing).

[timferius]

More likely I'll just stop making excuses and eat a banana every now and then.

Even more likely I'll just not do anything.

Oh man, the same thing happened to so many times I'm currently having a hypothesis that there is a sentient magic entity in my house which periodically hides away the items and reveals them later.

Someone I know had this problem a lot on long bike rides, and didn't get enough from the diluted gatorade we mixed, so he added NoSalt.  Just one of those potassium-based salt substitutes.  Bananas were awkward to carry and were complicated by his diabetes anyway.

I have no one to blame but myself. I set stuff down wherever is convienent, and have to search the entire house for it later. It's usually my glasses that I put down in the most random place possible.
This has been less bad since I went to college by virtue of the there being fewer places to put stuff in my dorm, but I still managed to set my iPod in the keyboard tray when I got up to go to the bathroom and spent at least an hour freaking out looking for it later.

[MaximumZero]

I'm really absent minded, so I've adopted the following policy: If I lost something and found it later, I put it in the first place I searched for it. Then, when I need it again, it's going to be in the first place I'll (hypothetically) look for it.
