Yay for the bees, -t!
Boo for water in the garage, Lee. I hope it's something easy to fix. I had water in my garage last year, but it was just because the drainpipe on the washer had come loose. An easy fix.
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Because books.
Yikes, Lee. I hope it's just a little problem.
So I did not have paczki. I had fasnacht -- which is essentially the same thing, but Dutch? Or possibly Pennsylvania Dutch? I have no idea, but they were much smaller than I expected, and my parents' friend makes them *the night before* because she's older now and has a tiny kitchen or something.
So they were little, cold, therefore sort of tough, and disappointing. And I got to spend two hours with assorted elderly people while not eating them.
But I made my dad happy, so yay.

I tried to make potato pancakes with mashed potato, but my improvised recipe didn't have enough egg and/or flour, and half of them fell apart. I ended up eating a plate of scramble potato hash. It was still delicious.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Well dang Amy, that sounds unsatisfying. I say you are still owed some fried, doughy deliciousness!

I AGREE.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I hope so! The handyman/plumber/electrician who did some work for me earlier is going to come look at it late this afternoon, so hopefully we can get it at least partially resolved today.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
So I sent out an email saying "shall we reschedule, then?" for no good reason, and then tried to retract it and act all cool like I hadn't had a brain fart in the first place, but then I get an email back saying "Yes! Please reschedule! Something has come up!"
Am I psychic? I think that's the only possible explanation--I'm a psychic with low self-esteem.
So no one ever gets paid to go on dates? Come on! I want that part to be true, dammit. And just that it always turns out really badly, or completely anti-climactically. Either one is fine.

I think the only time someone gets paid to go on a date is when someone else's parents/aunt/grandmother are desperate to find their darling child someone to go to The Big Event with. Or I may just be remembering that from various novels.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
So no one ever gets paid to go on dates?
The only way I see that happening is if I were to form a deeply inappropriate attitude towards one or more of my work colleagues.
