You'd never make it. I'd rip your spine out before you got half a step. Those little legs wouldn't be much good without one of those.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Finished season 1 of Zombies, Run! OMG what is happening?!? So glad I can just go ahead and start season 2 tomorrow.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Walked the local bike path to go to Trader Joe's and totally stocked up. Took the subway home.

Our wings are not tired.

They have opened a couple TJ's in Florida finally, but in locations that are an outing for me. Need to make a plan to go someday.

Nicely done. I keep thinking I should do that (with the bus instead of subway as we do not have a subway here) but haven't actually tried it yet.

OK, in an effort to give myself some accountability, a public statement of goals for today:

    • Grocery shopping
    • As much laundry as is strictly necessary
    • As much dishwashing as I can manage
    • As much cooking as I feel like
    • Water plants and feed birds
    • Litter box maintenance
    • Garbage, recycling, and compost wrangling
    • Vacuum living room if I have time/energy yeah, no.

But first, tea and pie.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

How can it be this hard to sell a computer? I hate this shit.

Good luck with that, Tom. I've never even tried, preferring to procrastinate until obsolescence made the question moot.

FTR, Bombay Breakfast Tea + coconut pie is a dynamite combination. Will snack again.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I can't give away a printer or a sound bar, so I'm not surprised selling computers is difficult.

Nurse doesn't want to come until 3 because she was here Friday.

I tried to tell her I'm immobile until then anyway, and then I don't get much functional time and have a hard time in the morning.

I hope she agrees to come earlier, ita.

Good news everybody: the local Ace Hardware is open again AND we have a new coffee shop downtown and their sign says they serve sandwiches and ice cream. Ice cream within strolling distance, that's the dream. I may have to go get an afternoon coffee to show my support.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

-t, we are in the same place in the plot! Although, I expect you'll pull ahead quickly.

Wah, I pretty much can't start evading Zombies until I get north for the summer. Unless I go really early in the morning or very late at night. It has been really warm during daylight hours.
