Oh, good idea -t. Though I'm in my bedroom with my boot off, so I'm here for a while.
But one of my big bookshelves in 90% packed. That includes all my demitasse cup and saucers. I have one cup and saucer left from my grandma's china set and as I moved that to the table where I was wrapping them, the voice in my head said "careful, that is the one out of all of these you don't want to break" and...it fell and the cup broke into 3 pieces. The super glue I have isn't bonding, so I'll have to find something specific for china I guess. I'm never going to drink from it but I'd like to fix it and keep it. But I have no more spoons to deal tonight.
So -t is more civilized than I. I would be eating from the crock pot.
I have thought about it but it would require standing which is just not comfortable right now. I'm planning on getting CJ to wash up some bowls when he gets home from work.
I had a smoked pork mollete from an airport Frontera.

Sorry about your little cup, Suzi. Oddly, superglue won't bond if you use too much, so it's really hard to bond thin edges like china with it. You need an epoxy, probably.
Superglue doesn't work with china - it's too porous. Get the stuff specifically for china and it'll be (nearly) good as new.
That's too bad about the cup, Suzi. I know I have been able to find china specific glue under similar circumstances, and used it successfully, though I don't remember what it was called. Got it from the hardware store, I'm pretty sure, probably asked someone there what to look for.
le nubian, that is not me being civilized, that is me thinking the kitchen counter is too high to stand and eat at so I need my food more portable than a crock pot. And knowing that I have a vast surplus of coffee mugs.
I'll hit up Ace Hardware tomorrow and see what they recommend. I have a facial a few storefronts down from them tomorrow.
I am talky meat today. Dang.
Thought I heard someone knocking on the front door, so I booted up and got out there only to discover it was the sound of the crock pot burbling and making the lid chatter. Found a nice big mug and now I have dinner. Plus I got the garbage out while I was out there.
My favorite Book Emergency story happened when a coworker got stuck in the elevator at work (i.e., in the library) for half an hour. Unfortunately, she only had 2 books with her, and they were both juvenile nonfiction books about baseball, and she hates sports.
Ooh, that is extra painful. Water water everywhere and not a drop to drink. [hugging kindle tight]
In onerous task news, I spent 2+ hours on tech support trying to get my new wireless router to connect to the Internet. Th tech support guy kept having me connect directly to the cable modem to see if it was a problem with that. Nope. We'd try 15 minutes of other things and then he'd have me check the modem again. Nope, it's still fine. Over and over. Finally he admitted defeat and said I'd have to turn it in for a replacement. I plugged my old, cranky router that balked at YouTube videos in and zoom--it's sending vids to the Chromecast and everything. So I'm sending the new router back for a refund instead. It's like two hours of irritation netted me ~$160. I've decided to call it a win.
