I spent a while arguing with my mother - she couldn't understand why I didn't buy a place. When I tried to show her what places in town cost, she told me to move to the suburbs. Then I'd point out I'd need a car - which would make a place in the suburbs about as expensive as a place in town, if not more so (car payments, gas, parking, insurance). She didn't realize how much she relied on a car until they took away her driver's license (this from a woman who used to drive the two blocks to pick up her mail and then drive back).
Can't drink, smoke, diddle my willy. Doesn't leave much to do other than watch you blokes stumble around playing Agatha Christie.

I had about a cup of wild blueberries. I found a tiny wriggling worm at the bottom of the container.

I am gladdened to see how fruitful you all are.
Are you all multiplying as well?
Has anybody indulged in any arithmetic function this morning?

Plus protein. A gift with purchase. I think worms are low in polyunsaturated fats.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
There were tomatoes in my sandwich. And blueberries in my jam at breakfast....

I've done an accounts receivable spreadsheet and bar graph on booked jobs through year-end, also currently working on personal budget numbers so I can tell the current employers what I actually need to have this be a job I can stay in. Lots of multiplying and dividing and adding.
I am so bummed with myself. I have overspent my budget by $300 this month, basically just because I could not resist doing home improvements. Granted I am doing these things myself versus hiring them out and thus saving money in one way, but I really did not need to by the paint for my garage this month.

I have a fruit tip for everybody: Peaches are in season!
Super delicious right now.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Has anybody indulged in any arithmetic function this morning?
Only arithmetic, or do trigonometric and transcendental count, too?
