According to what I found the last time I looked it up, mint will repel rodents for a little while, but eventually they get used to it.
No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I had a swat team outside most of last night. [link]
More info from the Trib. [link] I had no idea the bus stop and McD's shootings were linked. This one guy has brought a lot of violence to my neighborhood.

Calli, I'm so sorry, that sucks horribly. I hope you can get it straightened out. And I wonder how they do it--just call the IRS and use your SSN to change the address?
So the neighbor who got home-invaded is moving out: saw the moving truck this morning. I wonder who will move in: the rental market is climbing so fast that we may well get some tech types.
Spent much of yesterday with Dad, but didn't get much done. I'm trying to track down an IRS tax refund from 2012 that he never received, but I cannot seem to get through to anyone there. And I can only make the call when I'm with him so he can confirm that I'm speaking for him, and that means only on my day off. So annoying.
Got a nice long run in the hills this morning. Longest run since before my surgery, and while the last mile was a bit wobbly, I finished ok and only had to walk a couple of times. Go me.
Now I really need to do stuff around the house and go to the store, but I just want to lounge...

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I have obtained beet hummus. Now I just need to figure out what to eat it on.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Y'all.
Doing "just a little work" this morning was such the wrong decision. I should know better. Kinda stuck with it now, though.

Pool's closed and don't have time to drive to Towson and get my swim in. Crap. I guess I'll finish cleaning.

I did get to the market today, but I didn't get to TJ's. So, no beet hummus for me yet.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm never going to get to TJ's. It's so close, but so far away! I'll be across the street later, but going to the movies.
I did, however, get the first pedicure of the season, crossing my fingers that the staff actually gets paid.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Wow, that sucks, aurelia. I'm lucky that my part of Rogers Park is usually pretty quiet.

And I just realized that I forgot to get milk, which I have been going through quite a lot of lately. Shopping fail.
