-t, my birthday was yesterday.
We are entirely out of toilet paper which means an emergency trip to target. Blargh.
River: I know you have questions. Mal: That would be why I just asked them.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Sorry to hear it wasn't fabulous, and also that today is not fabulous. I hope you can have a very merry unbirthday soon.
Load of towels in the washer, still need to make a batch of breakfast custard and probably should make some salads before my vegetables get too old.

Custard made. Towels still washing. Running out of steam.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So one egg white makes a shocking amount of meringue! (Along with a bunch of sugar, obviously...)

What is a beercade? Sounds like good times.
It is a bar with arcade games that are mostly free to play. Beer and pinball with 80s wrestling and American Gladiators playing on TV!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Beercade is living a dream.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
My sink is too short. This is the problem. Washing pots in a sink that's 5 inches lower than my elbows makes me bend over by about 30 degrees and it's murder on my back. I want appliances made for male chefs; maybe they'll be tall enough.

So I was right, beercade = good times!
I have the opposite problem, Zen. Cushiony mats help some, but my counters are all a few inches higher than is really comfortable, although that bothers me less when I'm using the sink than when I'm trying to knead bread or roll out pie dough on the counter. ETA: do you use a washbasin? Maybe you could stack on on some sort of pedestal to raise it to a more comfortable height?
A guy I worked with told me he put kitchen cabinets in his bathroom because they are taller and he and his wife are both tall. FWTW.

I made it to the secondary gym. My membership is via a program with my health insurance. I pay a monthly fee and get access and it is cheaper than getting a membership through the gym. so now I have access and I went to try to swim (the whole reason I want the membership - my local rec center has all the equipment I need). pool was a madhouse. there are only 3 lap lanes - I do not feel I am a good enough swimmer yet to jump in a share a lane with a stranger - also my swim cap ripped and I was afraid to go in without one with the newly highlighted hair, so I walked, and ran through about 4 feet deep water in a lithe corner back and forth and back and forth for about 25 min. long enough that I think my legs will be a little sore.

-t, I might be able to rig up something that would raise it to a workable height. I'll think on it. Thanks for the inspiration!
