Occasionally I’m callous and strange

It's not cupcakes, but I went on a plain chocolate digestives binge last week. Discovered that my local methmeyers (fred meyers, but in an area where one tends to consistently encounter tweakers in the pkg lot) has McVities dark chocolate biscuits in both the traditional plastic wrapper and the "grab and go" hard cyclinder like pringles can. Today with my mid morning tea (at 1pm. but my hours are non-traditional) I have one of each, just to do a side by side taste testing. I can report that the packaging is just packaging and the product inside tastes identical.

I bet Instacart would deliver cupcakes.

Union Square Donuts near me has a delivery van with the slogan "For All Your Donut Emergencies."

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Oh man, I'm sorry it's been such an awful day for so many here.

So far the flexeril is doing nothing (I'm not even especially sleepy, though I'm going to take a nap with the heating pad). I'm very temped to go hit up the pot store and see what they've got edibles-wise, but seeing as how I've never taken it before, the night before I have to be somewhere presenting something is probably not the way to go.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

There was a former poster whose name had Tep in it and someone jokingly suggested she go by Teppy. Her response was HELL NO. And Steph was like - Teppy is cool! I'll be Teppy.

Close. Backstory: I had a friend in the FAC who called me Teppy (this was pre-Buffistas). There was a former poster whose name had "Tep" in it, and Trudy referred to that person as "Teppy," and I commented how weird it was to see that, since someone else used to call me that. (And the former poster didn't care for it as a nickname, so I inherited it.)

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I'm so sorry that so many people are having such a horrible day. {{{buffistas}}}

I do not have cupcakes, but this is the time of year that my market has paczki. So, I had an apple cinnamon one. I don't know if they're as good as ones from a specialty bakery, but the one I had was delicious.

Our wings are not tired.

Lots of hugs for all the Buffistas having awful bad days. And sympathetic nods for the non-huggers.

Today I finally caught up with Natter. All I really have to add is that Allyson has the most lovely hair.

This is way into theoretical land, but it has bearing on my future housing contemplations. Would a single cat be happy in a less-than-700 square foot apartment if it never went outside? I like having cats around, but the place I was looking at today only allows single pets, and I'd hate to have a bored and lonely kitty in a one-bedroom apartment all day while I was at work.

My cats were always outside more than they were inside, but pretty lazy and didn't seem to need much entertainment. I think a good window view would suffice while you were away.

I have a friend in an efficiency with a cat; she doesn't seem to have any qualms or concerns with hers.
