Sue, that totally sucks. I know UK immigration seems basically insane right now (I am sure you could get a visa to work in the US, but I know a bunch of people married to British citizens who are having immigration troubles.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm now watching clips from last night's Daily Show, and Trevor Noah got offended on behalf of "third world country" airports. I do enjoy him.

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

Yeah, I don't watch TDS every night now that Jon Stewart is gone, but I really enjoyed Trevor Noah last night.

One of these days I'm going to have to binge watch his stuff.

I feel like I should report that I was going to go to Raley's for mayonnaise (that I thought I needed for the deviled eggs, but since my hard-boiled eggs were neither hard nor boiled, I didn't even need to do that. If only I had known!) but Waze told me Trader Joe's was 0 minutes out of my way, so I went there and bought a grocery bag of pumpkin spice stuff (granola, O's, coconut body butter. I love the seasonally scented body butter, possibly my favorite pumpkin product). Frugality fail.

Time for me to go out and buy some meds. My current bottle of delsym expired 1 year ago and while it seems to be working since 3 am, I need peak effectiveness. Guess I should shower and go.

I really thought I was getting better last night, even with the voice losing.

-t just now and other recent conversations have made me wonder - where do people shop for groceries? We usually go to Kroger (and by usually I mean once a week), which is based in our city and is the biggest local chain. We occasionally do selected shopping at Whole Foods (I prefer to buy meat there, for example, but we probably only go there once a month now that it's across town). I go to Trader Joe's a couple of times a year but could not do my weekly shopping there because I feel like they don't have what I'd need.

Our wings are not tired.

I am trying to break my habit of going to Publix (the biggee here) just about every day to get what I need. I have tried going to Costco occasionally, but the parking lot is often enough to get me to change my mind. Lately I have been going to a local farm market for everything possible prior to going to Publix or the fish market for anything else on my list. That is working out much better. And they give me a nickel for bringing my own bag. [link]

I look more rad than Lutheranism

We drive to Oakley to shop at Meijer, because we like it better than Kroger (and we have to get Slinky's prescription kitty food at a PetSmart store, and there's one down the street from the Meijer, so we can get it done in one trip). And we make a Trader Joe's run once or twice a month.

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

Having husband who works from home means he can shop during the day when lines are are shorter. We usually go to Ralph's, with Costco and Trader Joe's runs about once a month.
