Hey, SF-istas! I'm probably going to buy into an egg-share from Soul Food Farms. It's 100 dozen over the course of a year, extendable to two years, which is a lot of eggs for just me. One of their pickups is Thursdays at the Ferry Building, so I thought someone in the city might want to go in on a share. Drop me a line if you are interested.

Punishingly Intricate
That really is bizarre, JZ! It is off and on thunderstorming here this afternoon. I haven't seen any lightning or heard thunder but there have been dramatic skies and downpours.
This weekend we have my niece's 3rd bday poolparty out in Frederick. And I've got to spin. First real training ride is in a couple of weeks. Yikes! Sunday is a big (I hope) chili cookoff fundraiser and then Oscar party. I'm trying to figure out if I can throw together a costume just from stuff i have in my house.

My local forecast has snowflakes, but when I look at the details is says "above 500 ft", which isn't me or anywhere close to me, so I'm not expecting actual snow.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Bwah, -t, that's awesomecakes.
I should check in with Hec about the eggs; we may want to eggshare with you.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I'll be starting off the weekend with my Onerous Task of paper wrangling.
That's right.
Today is Onerous Task Day!
Emmett and I will hike up Tank Hill (where I proposed to JZ, and also where we took Nilly and Laura) to try to catch some snowflakes later today. Then I will have to convince Emmett that it would be suicidal to try to slide down the hill.
Actually, it might not be that hard since he bruised his coccyx yesterday and it's pretty sore.
My non-onerous task this morning is to go have have breakfast with Jen K. and her guy, Matt. I just have to rouse Emmett for that to happen.

My onerous task for today is to get as much written on a fic that's due by Monday for a challenge. I've added about 400 words so far today.

Sigh. I know what my onerous task is. The work task I've been avoiding all week.

You can do it, Sue! Do it now and cruise through the Friday afternoon. Kill it! Kill that task!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Today is Onerous Task Day!
And I celebrated it in the way of my people*: I dumped all the old cat litter, disassembled the cat box (it has parts, and a sort of sieve thing, and stuff), scrubbed all the parts, and put it together with new litter.
I'll also be taking a busted plastic Adirondack chair to the dump and hitting the gym, but those aren't particularly onerous.
