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.

Our wings are not tired.

I think I should be commended for how much pumpkin stuff I *didn't* buy.

Indeed! I think a trip to TJ's is required this week. I just got back from Publix and am sadly pumpkinless.

I can't remember if I posted here yesterday that I had my first pumpkin spice latte of the season from McDonald's. It was good. I'm usually one and done with pumpkin spice lattes, but I may get this one again.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

pumpkin spice milk chocolate Lindor truffles.

I'm going to need these.

That Kroger is...something else. Have I told the story about how 2 large families (like, 7 or 8 adults in each family) started an actual fistfight at that Kroger while we were shopping? And the fight kind of travelled through the store (we didn't actually see it; but from the commotion, it sounded like the fight was moving like one of those cartoon cat-and-dog fights that's a cloud of dust that just rolls along). Good times.

I just got back from the market. The Big Y, which I hate but its closest. How does one 13 month old require so many trips to the market?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Are the Emmys going to be interesting enough for me to watch, even though I have a migraine?

Just wait until that becomes 13 year old. I know the maximum number of days before I need to go the grocery store by the number of gallons of milk I buy. 1 gallon == 1 day.

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

I finished a lot of grading, transferred some grades around (spreadsheets and scantrons and stuff don't always cooperate with each other, so things need to be retyped), prepped videos for two sections worth of calculus (though I didn't record the videos yet), prepped notes for another section, updated my rosters, and made a ton of photocopies. Maybe there will be one week this semester when I don't have to work on weekends.
