I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

My desire for pie is warring with my desire to stay in my house in my pajamas.

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

My dinner tonight culminated in lemon meringue pie.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

But billytea, it's not even Pi Day there, right?

Good news. The one piece of info I was waiting on was flood insurance details. That had the potential to change the whole financials of this thing. But it turns out that only the very tip of the property at the water line is in a high risk zone - the actual building is well back from that and considered low to moderate. So annual premiums of @ $300, rather than $3000.

Phew.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Maybe I'm confusing Sudafed with something else that makes people sleepy. The only drugs that ever made me sleepy were pre-surgery sedatives.

That is good news, Brenda!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I'm having rhubarb pie right now! Baby's been getting lots of pie for breakfast, which happens when you're pg and live next to Marie Callender's.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Random question:

When I was in kindergarten-2nd grade-ish I remember teachers and my parents telling us that you only use the word "done" when referring to food that's baking (or cooking?). Otherwise you were supposed to use the word "finished". So I dutifully followed this rule until I finished high school, at which point I stopped giving a fuck.

Is this rule still a thing? Do they teach it to kids now?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I've never heard that rule, tommyrot.
