But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think I've fallen into the vicious circle where, as soon as I'm not full, I think I'm hungry. Because I'm eating lunch now! Not a big lunch, but still.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I tried making kale chips once and didn't care for them; I like kale steamed, stewed or sauteed better. I'm thinking this bunch will be a frittata as soon as I am up for cooking and eating one. Because I also have eggs that need eating up and a frittata pan.

The slice of apple pie was delicious. I may have some more for lunch, maybe.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

I have to venture out and shop for at least a few grocery essentials before lunch. I went to Target first thing this morning to buy catfood, decided to look for Christmas presents since I was already in the thick of things, and barely restrained myself from getting into a fistfight with a guy who repeatedly tried to step into the space I was already occupying.

I just realized I won't have food for dinner in the house, so I can run my dishwasher now and then, god willing, remember to pack the clean stuff! I am getting very close to packed, which is good, but reminds me: My cousin and I were suggesting that it was a family trait to think you are basically done with a task, when you are actually 75% done, and then stopping doing anything about it. Is that just human nature, or actual family trait?

The good news (msbelle) is that I have plenty of boxes!

I mean, run the dishwasher after I finish this amazing piece of key lime pie.

Yeah, I think that might just be a human thing.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

just keep packing, woman. pack pack pack. can you wrangle a few friends or family into helping you get some essentials in the new place this weekend. always easier to start kinda living out of one place. like maybe a grocery run to stock the new place?

There's no living in two places! I am fully moving tomorrow -- done and done!
