Pokes head in thread...
Um. Hi. Been dark a bit. Just been active in games. Thought I'd drop in and say hi. It's summer, so schedule is a lot slower. Hopefully have time to keep up with the thread for awhile.
I just think you're freakin' out 'cause you have to fight someone prettier than you.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Hi, omnis! How are things? (Other than seasonally slow.)

Twice weekly ultrasounds? Sounds unfun, sj.
Yes. I guess it's standard procedure in high risk, especially with gestational diabetes. They want to make sure ltc isn't running out of room in there and that she continues to be active. It's only for the next 2 1/2 weeks.
Hi, omnis! It's good to see you!

Hi, omnis! How are things? (Other than seasonally slow.)Pretty good. As of this morning, have lost 12 pounds since Jan 4th. I'm at a platuea around that -10lb mark. Doing a bit more cooking, when I have the energy. Tried the Blue Apron service (thanks Pix!). It was fun. But a TON of work. Too much. Did it on my staycation week. Will not have enough spoons to do it while at work. So have cancelled it.
Oh. and new reading glasses. Prescription rather than the 'cheaters' from the drug store. So now I have one set for walking around/driving. One set for sitting/reading. And yes, thought about bifocals/progressives. But the readers give blurry at bottom of vision, and that's where I can see nuances in the floor that trip me up. So for now, I'm avoiding them, in an effort to stay upright when walking.

It's TCG's meeting night and also my usual night at the library bookstore. So, I stopped by to say hello to the woman filling in for me. I didn't really find anything worth buying.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Bloody sniffer dogs.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Hi, omnis! Good to see your pixels again!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Hi omnis!
I've been working on unpacking my stuff. I just realized that one bookcase that's a pain in the ass to move is about six inches off from where it needs to be if I want to fit my other stuff where it goes. Also dropped several heavy things on my feet before I realized that I should probably be wearing shoes. Walked down the block to get Thai food for lunch, and I LOVE that I can walk down the block and go to places that have food that I eat. There's even a vegetarian wine bar a couple blocks away!
I keep noticing more pieces of furniture that would make more sense in other places. And it's never the lightweight stuff. I don't really have room to maneuver the furniture around until I finish unpacking all the boxes, but unpacking the boxes will mean putting things on the shelves of the furniture, which will then make it more difficult to move. At least I found my tape measure, so I can see if things will fit before moving them.
I think I'm about a third of the way through unpacking.

Is that The Wine Guy Bistro? My mom and stepdad have said the food is pretty good there.
