Oh, Burrell, I'm so sorry for you and all your family. Be kind to yourselves, please.
It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Looks like oat flour is a thickener too. I'm using that in my soup, double the volume of cornstarch called for.
We'll see...

I am at the Anger stage of my vacation--"I don't want to go back to work! Why does this happen?"
I don't have much hope for teh bargaining stage, as vacation is only good when you're being paid for it, and to have that you have to have a job. Perhaps the Acceptance stage will kick in before I actually have to go back to work on Sunday.

I really LOVE what they're doing with blankets this season--it's such a bold move, especially in conjunction with colour blocking¹
¹ What are the nuances here? How is colour blocking different from grabbing a navy pants, yellow blouse, white bag, and black shoes (aka me while being pattern averse, getting ready for a day out that doesn't involve super hero shirts. But colour blocking...that sounds cool I want to know how to do that.
During lunch break, I took extra time to look at people who were wearing clothes, and which ones were wearing outfits. I wondered how many were like me--wearing that one thing they like and a bunch of other stuff that doesn't suck.
If my photo a day project (whoops! still haven't posted today) was about my clothes, this would be hella boring hella quick.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I think for color blocking you need to have more than one color in an article of clothing, but not in a print or pattern. Maybe a yellow blouse with a navy pocket?
But that is just what I have made up. I was trying to pay attention to contextual clues when I did so, but still.

I absolutely do this. Both the avid watching and the wanting to wearing x and then having the rest of my clothes basically solving for x.

Swim was short by kid barfing in lessons.
Past two days I have NOT wanted to go to the pool. Yesterday, the guy who opens the Y wasn't there, so I left 15 minutes in. Today, lifeguard wasn't there. If I had packed gym shoes I could have biked it, but instead I went and had coffee. WTF?
Yet, I am also really proud that I went. I feel like I did my part but the failure was on Y staff members so it "counts" as effort put forth by me. If someone were keeping a count.

I earwormed myself with "I Just Had Sex," Kat. Totally still counts.
Hey, you still have cookies I bought. Though if you consider me a really bad Girl Scout cookie buyer and eat them or something, I would understand. I need to come see you and get them before that happens. Plus, hey, see you! I could do an LA day or two.
