Consuela, what a lovely day, thanks so much for sharing it. It made me happy just to read it, but it made me even happier that it happened to you because you've been stuck in such a long awful slog, and I know what that feels like. Those days of respite are such a gift.
Time for some thrilling heroics.

Suela, that sounds awesome, other than the dog eating a sock (!?!)
Speaking of bald (or very short haired) beauties, ever since you commented on it here I've been noticing whenever I see a woman with hair around your length and I can see what you mean. Far more black women of all ages tend to opt for that hair length. White women, especially older white women, run a very distant second
Definitely--I think also there's less lesbian association with it for black women. I mean, yeah, I'm sure there's still some questions, but I feel like it's way more of a signifier for white women to have a shaved head/very short hair than for a black woman to have a TWA.
but did you know that Craisins are made of the leftovers from juicing the cranberries??
Are raisins juiced-grapes? If not, why does that work for cranberries? (I mean, I know Craisins are also sweetened and shit, but...would they taste more cranberry-y if they weren't juiced first? NOW I WANT TO KNOW.)

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

This makes me inexplicably happy.

Raisins are grapes gone bad. They're the hoodlums of the fruit world.

The traditional way of making raisins is to leave grapes out in the sun.

Timelies all!
Still on furlough. Why am I up so early? Dentist appointment.(made before the shutdown, when I thought I'd be heading to work from the dentist. sigh.) At least everything looks good.
