I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

I got up early but did not make it to the farmers' market down the road. I really want to. But I cut up strawberries and trekked out to Ellicott City for my haircut. It takes longer to get there by a little bit, but seems even longer because you go through so many different hoods (and stoplights.) Charles Village, Downtown, sorta over Pigtown, SW Baltimore City, then you start getting into LMC suburbia then more suburban business district, old small town main street, rolling farmland, woods, then milltown and E.C! All in 14 miles or so. It's a little jolting.

Ran errands and got a set of wire shelves for the kitchen (msbelle: [link] except it was $40!)

Came home, put them together, cleared out the last kitchen box.

Baked shortbreads and discovered I probably left my oven thermometer in the apartment. Oh well, stove seemed to work. Wasn't paying attention and almost turned the whipped cream into butter. Whoops. And I think I should have bought another box of strawberries. I used 2 lbs. Ah well, too late.

Heading next door shortly. Probably after I post this and slap on some chapstick.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Have fun!

My hands still hurt from bringing too much stuff to Goodwill earlier. But it's gone! I do feel bad that I looked down and realized that one of the sweaters had cat hair on it. Oops, sorry, Goodwill.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

yeah I had to forego putting 2 things out at the flea market because I realized they were dirty, then 2 more because they were covered in cat hair. Not that they were things that were selling anyway.

Sara, I just bought those same shelves for my basement.

And I went back upstairs and the bedroom light was ON. So I've located my flashlight and turned the power off at the breaker. There's a light in the kitchen that is not on the same circuit, so I think I can survive without lights in the bedroom tonight.

After I send them out, I will have made approx $2 on the one pair of shoes I sold on eBay, so I'm over selling stuff! Except I do still want to sell my old computer -- that should bring in actual money. I should clean it out and list that on craigslist tonight. Hmmm.

I really used to enjoy my hometown's Main Street celebration before it got turned into a biker rally.

I had a whole pantless baby/learning to potty train/spending time outside post. Then I deleted it.

I love my life.

How did it end? Go ahead, you can tell me. I'm a spoiler whore.

Our current potty-training efforts are continually stymied by masturbation.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

They're there, man, and still quite new.
