I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'm glad you're enjoying your bike, Strix! Yay!

So, that was a frustrating run. No, the actual running part was fine (although I am out of shape enough that to keep my heart rate in the desired zone (I should say to try to keep my heart rate in the desired zone because I was not super good at that even so) I was mostly walking but it's because my heart rate monitor told me to, not because I am lazy (this is really why I like heart rate monitors)) and I did eventually find headphones, although not the good headphones that stay in my ears reliably, but these worked fine. I realized I needed to download my zombie mission before I headed out, so I took that time to move some laundry around (but still have not put away clean dishes from the dishwasher) and then headed out for my favorite combination of zombies and GotG along the waterfront. Unfortunately, I did NOT realize that at some point I took a bunch of music off my phone to make room for...who knows what, but apparently that included the GotG soundtrack, which I found out at the first music break in Zombies, Run! when all I heard was silence. So that took a while to figure out and remedy and while I was doing that I paused the zombies and forgot to turn them back on when I started running again (listening to the soundtrack on shuffle through iTunes instead of through the zombie player, it's a subtle difference until it's been three or four songs and there hasn't been any story) so I lost some credit in that app. But not in the Polar app, which is all good except now it's not updating my Health app like it's supposed to and I can't figure out why. Argh.

Also, when I was making my To Do list last night and thinking it seemed like it seemed like achievable goals I forgot about mowing the lawn and now that I have seen the front lawn it clearly needs mowing.

But first, lunch. I think pancakes. Because that seems easier than salad.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Quiet day here.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I went out to brunch and now have a pork shoulder in the oven. Now I need a snack, because my brunch order was weirdly small. I mean, for a brunch dish that was mostly potatoes. (Beef hash.)

Mmm, hash. That is weird it was small, most hash I've been served has been in enormous portions.

So complaining on the board fixed one thing - an itinerant lawn mower came by and offered to do my yard for "whatever I want to pay", so I gave him 20 bucks and the grass is cut. He also cut down the "weeds" that I was leaving because they flower pretty and I'm hoping to harvest some of that salsify now that I theoretically know how to, but they'll come back.

Pancakes made (and some eaten)! Some dishes washed! Some laundry washed! I am making progress.

That's what I thought! I mean, it was a perfectly appropriate meal, but I was in a restaurant in the United States.

Was it artfully arranged hash?

Hash nouveau? Or Haute hash, perhaps?

OK, I've had my cup of tea I should get back to work.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I cut down the weeds in teh back yard, and did some laundry, and packed up some of my kitchen. I'm slowly packing up the kitchen so it won't be so difficult when the contractors finally give me a start date. I'm down to four bowls, 2 plates, 2 wine glasses...

I might write some fic, which would be a change of pace.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Went out for breakfast, grocery shopped, came back home, started laundry and and changed the litterbox.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

We might be putting an offer in on another house. Meep.
