My breakfast was tea and a granola bar because I was anticipating wood fired pizza at the farmer's market. But it's raining so they didn't come. The taco truck came and I has a delicious black bean taco instead and a cinnamon bun.
I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

That's great, Zen! So fun to travel with close friends. (Go Team Minus T and Lee!)
Breakfast was oatmeal with blueberries, pecans, and a big spoon of chocolate hazelnut stuff. Quite yum.
Yum yum.
I made JZ hashbrowns with mushroom and roasted pepper and onions with two ita font sunnyside up.

Sister~ma, please! My sis is about to take a giant leap of faith.
She has been offered a seasonal job with the Grant Park Music Festival here in Chicago. It would mean quitting her FT job, closing up her apartment and moving in with me for the summer. And for just over 50% of what she is making now!
Crazy, yeah? But her job right now is utterly toxic and doesn't let her use her real skills. She needs to get out of her apartment, which she moved into as a couple but has been carrying as a single for the past year. And most importantly, I think, she needs to emotionally/mentally break from being tied to Milwaukee and our dad.
The new job would be much more fun and exciting, right in line with what she really wants to be doing career-wise, and they're really excited about having her, even though she's overqualified. And she has a good friend in a related role here in Chicago who says great things about the people she'd be working for. Who have committed to making every effort to help her build connections and find something more permanent. We've pretty exhaustively gone through every pro and con we can come up with, and bottom line, she's scared shitless but we both think it's a leap worth taking.
Crazytimes.

Our wings are not tired.
Crazytimes, but it sounds to me like a giant leap towards sanity. Lots of sister~ma.

That sounds like a great opportunity for your sister, brenda, and I'm glad to see you help her make that leap.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Best of luck to your sister, Brenda!
I made JZ hashbrowns
Oh I am slightly disappoint, because I read that as hash brownies. Though I'm sure the hashbrowns were yum.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Leap-ma for your sister, Brenda.

The only reason she can even consider this is the fact that I'm here in Chicago. So it's an opportunity that would not otherwise be really possible for her. So that's good. The biggest disruptor is going to be her cats. Hooboy.
The timing is good too. Our dad is a lot more mobile and self-sufficient in the summer. Well, he's self-sufficient most of the time, but in summer we don't have to worry about him deciding to shovel out the driveway or slipping on the ice. And he likes to spend a lot of time in the Wi house so again, easier for her to break away.
Now I *really* need to get some organizing and decluttering underway.
It's good to be able to help.
