Bah -- I just accepted a meeting for Friday. So much for my day off!
Look, Angel, I know you've been out of the loop for a while, but I'm still evil. I don't do errands...unless they're evil errands.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Ignoring the evil plotty children, because I just can't cope with that right now.
Minor, first world grumpus of the morning: We are now on Day 4 of no hot showers. The gas main guy has an "all day appointment" to come by and try to figure out why the pilot light on our water heater gutters out after 90 seconds. I had been settled in, expecting a long, long wait until, say, three or so, when suddenly my phone rang at just about 10; it was the gas guy, saying he'd be here in "a few minutes." At 10:30 he called again, to say he'd been circling the block and there was no parking, so he was going to see someone else first and come back here. It's now 11:30, and no further word from him. I'd be less grumpy if he hadn't faked me out and had just refrained from calling until he was actually at the door.

Sounds like you need to hire a pack of third graders to capture the gas guy.

Four days of no hot showers seems like a pretty decent first-world problem, actually. I mean, isn't hot and cold running water one of the basic things you get in the first world??

Well, the water heater that goes to the kitchen is fine, so we've at least got clean dishes, Hec is able to shave, and if Matilda had a horrible blowout we could always pop her in the sink for a small tub. If he doesn't show up today, the shower situation gets dire, but right now it's just a PITA.

I have just over a half hour to go. Please, please natter! I can't fall asleep this close to the end!
Of course, idiot that I am, I suggested going to a lacrosse game tonight. Why?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
JZ, if you guys need to come over to my place, you're more than welcome to. Of course, my shower is psychotic, but it works. More or less.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
These apple everything-free cookies had a strange grainy aftertaste. Which is a shame, because they're almost a win otherwise. Soft, tasty, gluten- and dairy- and tyramine-free. But I'm done with them once this box is emptied. Maybe I'll bake for myself next.
Anyone here have cake or cookie recipes where you can substitute wheat flour for just one thing? I mean, not 1/2 oat and 1/2 rice, or needing to add xanthan gum?
They don't even have to be wheat-free versions of anything. They can just be what they are.
Tangentially, can you label yourself allergen-free? Wouldn't one just mean "so far"?
