Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

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

I have achieved a tiny bit of yardwork. I pulled up one bit of what I am calling monkey grass, I am sure it has a real name, from the main area of the backyard. And now I need to plant it in a flowerbed that was mostly empty. Only moving them a few feet. The problem is the flowerbed is getting direct sunlight and I am a delicate flower, so I am re-charging a bit.

I am taking before and after pictures each morning that I do yardwork.

Sad, but probably for the best, given my lack of productivity yesterday.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have to go to the dentist this morning, to consult with the endodontist, to see if my root canal needs to be redone.

Yikes. Good luck w/that.

If this is closed I'll have to have a detour for my detour of my detour of the on-ramp.

Yikes. Good luck w/that.

I feel bad for my coworker who was out sick yesterday and didn't know about the Old Spice Guy!

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

The Old Spice Guy looks like my father. I think I'm going to go have a breakdown now.

Hivemind query - you know those crispy fried noodles that come with Chinese takeout soups in the little wax paper bags? Has anyone ever seen them in a grocery store?

We generally just get them from the Chinese restaurant around the corner, but I'm wondering if there's a good way to get a LOT of them to take to Canada so we can make khao soy up there without resorting to a chow mein noodles from a box.

Man, I wish I weren't working from home so I couldn't have watched Jessica's link and therefore need more therapy.

Coming from you, I feel I deserve some kind of merit badge for that.
