I'm just having one of those days when I'm annoyed at everything. Started this morning when one of my friends interpreted my saying "I keep seeing people on bikes doing really stupid dangerous things -- maybe there could be some kind of bike safety education thing?" as "When people on bikes are hit by cars and killed, it's their own damn fault, and they probably deserve to die" (which, huh? Then he compared it to victim-blaming rape victims for wearing the wrong clothes, at which point I just backed out of the whole thing), and it seems like everything I've tried to do all day has just lead to a ton of little annoyances that keep piling up. Tried to do some work and realized I forgot to email myself the file I needed. Tried to work on an online class and the video kept freezing up. And now I'm just so irritated at everything that every new thing is making me more irritated. I would try doing a yoga video, but there's all kinds of junk on the floor that I'd need to clean up first, and I know that would just get me more annoyed.

H has started using one of these. He pours in the lightly stirred egg, cubes a turkey sausage patty and distributes the cubes evenly across the container, follows cooking directions while an English muffin toasts, turns out the egg and sausage patty onto the muffin, slaps on a slice of sharp cheddar and a sprinkle of Hungarian paprika, and it's a darn good lunch sammich. It's my bread, pasta, and rice portion for the day, but worth it. And I'm not hungry again till dinner time.

Anybody around?

Howdy.

Hi. Can't sleep, again. Stress sucks.

What's the weather like in Pennsylvania at the moment? I saw a big storm over Pittsburgh. I like to keep an eye on the old stomping grounds.

Rainy, and about 50 now, but it was more like 65 during the day.

Ten degrees warmer than Utah but very similar. We had added dust storms and I'm buying a new windshield tomorrow from the sandblasting and cracks.
