I promised my boss I would work this weekend. She wants "to see some progress" on The Thing by 11am on Monday. And she tells me this on a Friday. It isn't even due until November! Damn it.

I do not like my coffee sweetened at all. But I do like it creamy. I don't drink tea much anymore but, when I do, it's sweet and milky. Aside from booze, I really only drink water now. I used to like the unsweetened Smart flavored waters--cucumber, lime, and such--but they stopped making those when they were bought by Coke. Of course.

My phone refuses to charge consistently anymore. One charger works somewhat but others don't at all. I could get an upgrade now but I'd have to pay $50 extra and I refuse on principal. Unless I really have to. Ugh, technology is the worst sometimes!

-t, we were given a 3-hole one and it ended up self-destructing in the cabinet so....

yes, I blame the tools also.

I have had an emotionally toxic day which is pointless to try to recap.

My new seersucker shorts, though, are, in a word, awesome pants!

Also, I have made an appointment to see a new eye doc. I'm having trouble seeing and lots of eyestrain. My usual doc doesn't have an opening for a month. So I'm going to a place in my neighborhood instead on Monday. We'll see how it goes.

Huh. Well, two points of anecdata makes a convincing line of something.

Yay seersucker!

Yay! A line!

My latest favorite drink is black currant iced tea (thanks, Kristen, for the rec!). I love iced tea in general though and drink it by the gallons.

She really does!

I'm thin. While I am improving my habits(less meat, less soda) I get many diet-karma points I don't deserve.(When I was younger, I ate some Blizzards, man, but I guess it only matters if they show, or someone thinks they do.) But I do know what diet concern trolls are like, because I was on food stamps for a bit, which apparently made my digestion public domain or some shit. Yes, occasionally, I watch things on TV, and say, for instance, "Deep-fried Twinkies! Uch, who eats that?" But I have been online long enough to know that my revulsion is probably someone else's cherished memory.(and I am that person to a lot of my way-granola friends, and vegans) Every single food troll should have someone say "It's all she wanted(pause) after the chemo.

I don't mention often enough how hard you rock.

Thanks, Tep. Actually, I'm just unlucky enough that I try to keep my judgey thoughts to myself--if I went all Food Nazi, I guarantee you that I'd meet the one person in America allergic to everything but corn chips. And she'd sit right next to me, too.

People love what they love. I think deep-fried twinkies are delicious, but certainly not a daily food for me. But, people love what they love. If you are moved by roasted broccoli (blech!) and salmon, more power to you. I'll happily sit here with my mac and cheese.
