Because books.

We played adults versus kids kickball this afternoon. I think I pulled every muscle I had to pull, in my legs anyway.

Beer now?

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Most of the time, I'm the anti-Luddite. Something handwritten by me may be more personal, but not very useful, since my handwriting is illegible. Also, my brain doesn't even think in handwriting. I've been writing directly on a keyboard for more than 30 years. If I was going to write a heartfelt and articulate note, I'd have to write it on computer and then copy it in handwriting.

As for things that come in the mail, either the psycho mailman loses them or I do. I want the information in an e-mail so I can copy it to the calendar. Also, I don't want to be tempted to add to the piles of paper.

I want to have better handwriting. Mostly because I love fountain pens and inks, and I need more excuses to use the ones I have.

Beer has polyphenols that reduce inflammation. It's practically medicine.

In theory, I want to have better handwriting or at least readable handwriting. However, on the list of skills I'm willing to spend time on, it's somewhere below putting on eyeliner.

Ha! Heeeey, maybe that's how I should think about handwriting. Because eyeliner application is all muscle memory now for me.

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

ita, I was going to send an invite to you, but the thought of forcing preschoolers on you seemed cruel

No worries, Kat. I barely made it to the grocery store yesterday.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Coding and Sleeping

Well, we just sold my 18 year old Civic. It went in less than 24 hours after listing it. We tried to give it away to family and friends first, but nobody wanted it.

Because books.

I've now had beer, a beer-and-beef burger, and potato salad. Time to craaaaaash.

Congrats on making some money on the car, Gud. Your family missed out.

Today has been a put-put type day. Have gotten some things done around the house but have also done my nails and made a Krispy Kreme run.
