Good lap times despite my shoulder being pissed with me. And now I'm going to make it really angry. Grinding will commence shortly.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Colin's son turns 1 soon. Went to a no-kid birthday party. Pizza and beer and fruit salad. Bundles had a great time running around and growling in his diaper and they figure next year they'll involve things for him. I get to make the cake!

Kat, would K be able to help me with a female self defense session? I really can't get banged around, but she'd be a great example saving herself. I don't have a date yet--it's a request from a former co worker.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hooray for flexible plans -- the beach this morning was perfect. And we got fried clams AND swung by the one place that sells Utz cheese popcorn, the perfect snack food.

Yard long beans can grow to over a yard long. Usually they're picked at ~18" as they get tough when they're longer.

Today I'm hoping to get some yard-long beans from my CSA into a salt solution for fermenting,

OK, the directions for fermenting yard-long beans are notably flawed. After the beans are covered by brine I'm supposed to put the remaining brine in a gallon plastic bag and use it to keep the floaty beans submerged. Bah! The beans come up around the bag. It's not like it makes a tight seal with the container or anything. I wrestled with it until the bag unzipped, drenching my shirt and making me jump back. At which time I spilled half the beans. Screw it. Today I'm making pound cake and a mid-afternoon cheap-ass margarita.

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

Yeah, but now you've literally spilled the beans.

I'm easily amused.

Swam and went to the grocery store and have done nothing else. Kinda ready for a nap, though. C'mon, self, the to do list is still long.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Look at all you getting-things-done people. I'm still in my pajamas and plan to stay that way all day.
