Hey. New board.

I saw several pairs of shorts in my walk. I am always a slow reactor to season changes; I wear short sleeves a couple of weeks too long I'm the fall and long sleeves a couple of weeks too long in the spring, so it always interests me to see the people on the opposite ends of that decision tree.

I heard about that, Matt! So awesome to see it in action.

Now if only my neighborhood could match the technology with spring-loaded step coverings for dog poop.

I'm back in Chicago waiting on a bus. I didn't find a last minute fare to Los Angeles, although I tried. I met up with extended family instead, and drank too much Prosecco with my parents last night. Why do you hate me like this, sparkling wine?

Well, I can't wholeheartedly recommend roasting celery root whole. It's ok, but I think peeling and cutting it up first might be worthwhile. More research needed.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Last night at one game I was sitting next to a couple, and they were sniffling, and the woman laughed and said, yeah, we've been sick, but we decided to come anyway! Oh, goody for you. I think I caught whatever they were passing around. I've been achy and feverish all day. Dummies.

But it's 63 degrees here and I have all the windows open, and it feels like heaven. Oh, please, let winter be over.

Have made three salads, which should do for work lunches. I still have about half a bunch of celery, half the roasted celery root, and a head of cabbage to deal with. And two eggs, but I can eat those for breakfast tomorrow. And one apple and two oranges, but one piece of fruit a day takes care of those. Hm.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I misremembered the amount of liquid in my slow-cooker burrito bowl, and so the rice I added is all mush. Still tasty, but more of a burrito porridge than the rice bowl I was expecting.

It's in the low 50's here, and blissfully still light out! I know everyone hates changing the clocks, but if it could just stay DST all the time, I'd be a happy camper.

it is only while doing laundry that I wish my wardrobe was monochrome and much smaller.

Of course, having way more clothes than I really need allows me to go for longer than is reasonable without doing laundry, or only doing minimal laundry. One hand gives while the other takes, I suppose.

The status is NOT quo.

Yes, Jessica! You and I are one in the desire for DST all the time.
