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.
I was going to make tacos for dinner but had them for lunch instead, so I popped over to Trader Joe's for some beet hummus and marinated artichoke and made an epic chicken wrap instead. And now I'll drink the vinho verde I also got while I watch hockey.
I don't think I'm going to make it to the city council meeting tonight because (and this is pretty pathetic) I cannot stand to wear shoes for one more minute.
Maybe it is time for gin?
Has the Google doodle in honor of Nelly Bly been seen by others? It has a soundtrack.
or bourbon
I may have to stop at TJs on the way in tomorrow.
Don't get the bacon white cheddar popcorn.
I don't say that because it's bad; on the contrary, it is a force of nature that will laugh at your willpower as it tramples right over it and you eat the bag in 3 sittings.
Or maybe that's just me.
As usual, I am having severe Trader Joes envy.
