Sorry about Clio, Sue.
See, in my fantasy, when I'm kissing you... you're kissing me. It's okay. I can wait.

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.

Oh, Sue. I am so sorry.

Thanks everyone. I'm still gutted, but the kind words do help.
The library is beautiful. There's two cafes, a roof deck, a performance/lecture space, gaming space on the kids floor, a recording studio. They've truly got that idea of the library as a community/third space. And for the opening, they handed out 300 pairs of scissors, so that everyone could cut the ribbon to open it, since it was the city's library.

That sounds great.
OK, I'm going to try to run errands but I think I will start with lunch because I am very hungry and nothing I have here appeals. Lunch, errands, walking the dog. That's the plan. Sorry dog, I know you would like to change up that order.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I've been trying to get back out for a couple of hours, but just looked and saw that one of the stores I was going to go to is closed! So I guess that'll wait until tomorrow. Which means I should do some work-work now, but nope.

Well, Walter was super persuasive so we walked first. After that, my plan was to go to Cost Plus and each lunch at one of the nearby restaurants before shopping, but the location near me has shut down, so I drove to the next nearest location and asked Waze what restaurants were nearby so I am only now getting lunch BUT it is going to be some kind of Thai deep-fried duck which, how can that not be delicious? Actually getting me shopping done is not looking a sure thing, but maybe that outlook will improve once I have some food in me.

I took a nap after Ubering for nearly 6 hours this morning. I can't imagine doing this full-time.
Now I think I'll make some bread. Bread is always a good plan.

My credit union's fraud division replaced the money that some yahoo jacked from my checking account with my debit card info. And my new card and pin are here now. It's been a little over a week, and everything's back to normal. I'm kind of impressed with my credit union--it could have been a lot worse.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Car full of cardboard to the recycling center, trunk full of donations to the SPCA, how did that take all afternoon? Everything takes longer than you think it will. Now to put on clean clothes and go eat pizza with the fam. Then come home and try to accomplish at least one more thing on the list before I crash.
