They were proclaiming about the flowers and asking how anyone could not believe they were created by god. I was thinking that I'd be more inclined to believe in the existence a benevolent god if they'd let me get by.

Fair enough!

But it does remind me of the bulletin at my mother's church, which hilariously says, "The flowers on the altar are supplied by the Creator, and brought in by [whoever in honor of whatever]." It makes me laugh.

That's pretty funny.

Whew, I am home and I have a burrito. I have a city council meeting I should really go to tonight, so I can't completely relax, but food is good.

I was apparently too restrained with all of my restaurant meals while out of town last week, because I just had to get takeout buffalo chicken fingers, which I never do! But man, that was delicious.

I ate lunch today so why am I so hungry? Oh well, must fix this.

I never did eat lunch. I seem to have snacked and taken a long nap instead. OTOH, I lost count of my Uber fares this morning (lots of quick turnarounds, and pleasant passengers, too) so it was a nice surprise to see that I'd gotten nearly $200 of them (then minus Uber's 20% cut, but still). That's high for an ordinary Tuesday, most times I'd drive for 6 hours and get maybe $150-ish.

If I could drive for 8 hours in a day it would be even better, but even with breaks I'm tiring out after 6, start missing turns and whatnot.

Timelies all!

Because I was going to be at Malice most of Sunday, I left a shopping list for Gary. I managed to leave off a few important items so I've had to make stops after work yesterday and today to get them. (This is what happens when a sleepy person makes a grocery list. At least I didn't put anything weird on it.)

Cat and finance~ma to Theodosia. I hope your cousin was just overly stressed, Matt. Diagnosis~ma, TB. Such ~ma as is appropriate to the people I missed.

Work is starting to move out of the "here's how to deal with system whatever" and into a place where I feel I can contribute, which is nice. I've found at least one comics/SF geek with whom to chat over lunch. If the pay was higher and the commute shorter, it would be nearly perfect. It's still better than nothing, so yay. We went out for chicken and waffles on Monday. The individual components were all very tasty, but the combo didn't wow me. Still, I'm glad I tried it.

My family's dogs have finally injured my mother. Or rather, they're chew toys have. She tripped and fractured her arm, as lil bro informed me after an hour of sporadic texting before basically telling me I was interrupting his (streaming and pause-able) shows and to stop texting him. Sorry, thought it was a conversation -- that he started. I've remedied this by maturely blocking further contact.

I hope he's being ugly because of our oldest not-siblings continued existence. And I hope I'm being overly sensitive because of PMS. And I hate that I'm tiptoeing around his issues because he has power of attorney.

Okay, that beet hummus is goddamn delicious.

Right? I would never have thought to add beets to hummus, but it's fantastic.
