So I finally made it to dinner, and while we were at the restaurant, the power went out. Fortunately, we already had our food, so we finished eating and scurried out to the car in the rain.

Then we got to make the drive home of a few miles in flooded streets. Not fun. Obviously I should have listened to the universe and stayed home.

Stir Friday! Totally should be a thing.

Oh my goodness, Dana. Glad you made it home okay, anyway.

Hooray for beer and cupcakes and ice cream and burgers and shakes and wine!

My brain kinda wants to drink and drink, but my body is all "wanna see how fast I can go to sleep?" Not sure how this'll play out.

I remembered to buy cat food on the way home, so now I won't run out after I feed them tomorrow morning, so I celebrated by buying ginger molasses cookie ice cream.

I may put the bourbon on the ice cream.

I may put the bourbon on the ice cream.

Report back if you do this. For science!

Well now I have to, since it is for science.

There's a newly discovered passage that was cut from an early draft of A Wrinkle In Time. [link]

Hooray science!

I think I would have preferred them separately, but it was still mighty tasty.

Science FTW.

Had a full force panic attack this afternoon. Once I calmed down some, K-Bug and I hit up Target and Home Depot...and did some serious damage. But I'm happy with what we found and I'm much calmer.

Yay, Suzi! So excited for your new house.

This weekend I have to look at the kitchen plan and mark it up for the contractors; they apparently forgot about the slot where the broom & dustpan will live.

Nice dinner with a friend, including splitting a very yummy tiramisu. Now I am drinking the last half-glass of wine from my kitchen bottle, and I really need to dive back into White Teeth for book club. I fear there will be skimming: book club is on Tuesday and I have a ton of work to do this weekend...

But first I might watch the Star Wars trailer again...
