But the pancakes should be easy.
Definitely
Tis too early to be awake.
It really, really is.
I swear, one of these times, you're gonna wake up in a coma.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Kraft Mac and Cheese =/= cheese + noodles.
This. I've never been able to make mac & cheese that came close to Kraft. Maybe it's because I was a very young 'un when I lived in the States (well, 18), but nothing else tastes that good.
Pancakes, yeah, I should learn to make those. I mostly just burn things to the griddle and give up. I do have a sweet* Canadian friend who brings me real maple syrup when she goes home. I swear, the syrup I can get in the supermarket is not made from maple anything.

Nothing more reassuring than the sound of my dad swearing on my porch in the morning...
No, I do not have a whatsit, thingamabob, dinger. I don't have, nor will probably ever have, the extensive workshop you do.

And before 8 am. My neighbors will love me, thanks.

“Not dead yet!”
Kraft mac and cheese is stuff not found in nature. Tasty, to be sure, but not to ever be recreated by naturally occurring foodstuffs.
Y'know, Cash, as someone who's also in the boat of possibly moving a really frak-ass long distance, I say relax and go with the flow. It's an adventure, right?

And when your family contacts you for money, you can claim not to know how to convert pounds into real money! (It should at least keep them baffled for a couple weeks....)
I've been in class for 30 minutes but we haven't started. At least we've got AC and Internet in here.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
It would be pretty awesome, IMHO, Cash. You can always come back if it sucks.
After I come to visit you there, of course.
If you leave the country, it will be easier to convince your family that you've entered the witness protection program.

If the opportunity comes through, you should go, Cashmere. Mainly because I can't.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
England for a couple of years would be awesome, Cash.
I suspect you would get a lot of visitors.
ImemememN, I managed to sleep until 7:30 or even a little bit after today. It's been a long time since that happened.

Farmer's marketed. We walked over. Bought this little bistro set at the hardware store. [link] Carried it back. It's on the front porch now, but once the deck is finished, it'll end up there. I'm letting my parents recover now.
