Whoa! I... I think I'm having a thought. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a thought. Now I'm having a plan. Now I'm having a wiggins.

Sounds productive to me, Gud.

I haven't done much today. I did swim for about an hour including 40 laps in my pool and 200 pool jumping jacks. Made the tasty avocado/egg salad. Cleared some emails. Right now I generally work on a decent size all-in-one computer while on my comfy couch in the living room, where I remote into my desktop located in the next room. The desktop machine has 4 monitors so there is a bit of jumping around. I'm considering dumping my desktop machine and putting all my stuff on a virtual machine in our work datacenter and remoting into there instead. The advantage would be the constant backups and snapshots of everything. I'll at least put the structure together and start the fun of installing all my applications.

Well, I am trying not to be rigid about what my taste is.

Hey birthday girl! How goes the day?

Watching unsatisfying football here but giving up on our team and going to the grocery store.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I need to eat, but it looks like the game is going to go down to the wire. If not past the wire.

Fine. Tacos so far. No complaints.

Mmm, tacos.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Happy Birthday, erika! Tacos are a damn fine way to celebrate.

Avocado Egg Salad:

Thanks to whatever Buffista exclaimed about the yumminess of this. Maybe Teppy? Finally made some today and it is quite tasty. FL avocados are quite different from the CA varieties, so lighter and sweeter, but yum.

That was me. I'm fanatical about it. Glad you like it!

ION, pumpkin stuff is starting to show up at Trader Joe's. I only bought pumpkin caramel corn (new this year), pumpkin cream cheese, and pumpkin butter. I think I should be commended for how much pumpkin stuff I *didn't* buy.

I just came from Kroger, where I saw pumpkin spice oreos, pumpkin spice milano cookies, and pumpkin spice milk chocolate Lindor truffles. I did not buy any of these items.

Queen City Kroger was a hot mess. I hope Clifton Market opens soon and is good.

Alex Kingston was a delight two years ago at ECCC.

She was a delight at DragonCon, as well!

I have done laundry, mostly unpacked, gotten groceries, and walked a few miles in the park. I'm trying to convince myself to make lunch before I slowly collapse onto the couch and remain there for a few hours.
