I look more rad than Lutheranism

first peaches just appeared, but I'll wait.

TJs has a flat of about 14 peaches for $6, and I couldn't resist. Now I have to figure out what to do with them before they go bad. I'm thinking about just taking my apple crisp recipe and substituting peaches and seeing how it turns out. Couldn't be that bad, right?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I don't understand why you can't be in an indoor pool in storms. Is there an actual reason?

That's pretty much what I do, Steph. When I'm not making a cake with em.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I might add some ginger to the spices, and maybe slivered almonds if you have them. Otherwise, sounds delish.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

If you have any Cointreau around the house, soaking either apples or peaches in it for a couple of hours first really ups the ante.

I put ginger in my apple crisp (I think Suzi gave me the idea, because the recipe didn't originally call for it), so I'm covered there. And I know there are slivered almonds in the pantry -- that sounds excellent.

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

I don't know how women who need the compression run with it-- I feel like I get less breath and that it encourages heartburn/cramping.

Because there are more important things than breathing, pretty much.

Oh, hey! The Hitachi wand! I'm just finishing watching a ten year old Bunny Ranch documentary. I'm glad they tag their shit, because telling me up front a section would involve "father and son" meant I could fast forward. Jesus, people. I like when life comes with content warnings.

Today I have to:

  • tidy living room and bathroom
  • show the apartment manager that there was water leaking into the light fixture (was taking the shell off so hard? Shit was half full of dirty water)
  • get all the supplies I need for random art project (gift card yay!)
  • read and evaluate paper on sickle cell patients
  • not die

But it all starts with ablutions! Ablute away!

(I had an apricot this week. I know I've had apricots in stuff before, but I don't know if I'd ever eaten one. They look weird. Confusion was legion because it was the French guy giving it to me, and he wasn't too clear on what it was called either. Decently tasty, great level of ripeness.)

That is so damn fancy! I think all I have is Wild Turkey 101, Crown Royal, and tequila. I don't think those are going to cut it.

Unrelatedly, we are getting ready to leave for the Pride parade and it just started raining. BOO. DO NOT WANT.

I think the theory is that a ground strike nearby could electrify the pool via the plumbing. I dunno. It's policy around here. I have read stories of people getting a shock in lakes when lightning strikes nearby, so...

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

The rain should cut down on the pollen, though.
