I need a better filler word

Whenever I'm stuck for something to say, I use the word "thing" or "dead" to fill it in so I can move on. Occasionally, I almost submit the form without fixing the filler words, and am only stopped by the realization that no, "thing" is not helpful, and also it's not really "dead".

Home early

Ha, I'm actually home before 10pm tonight.

*eyes todo list*

Some of these bad boys are going down.

I was so impatient to go home earlier that I found the elevator too slow and ran down twenty-seven flights of stairs instead.
