Oh, that is good one Burrell! And Zen!

here's hoping that this miserable experience has given you antibodies to protect you for the next 3-4 years.

Oh good lord, yes. Lifetime immunity would be fair.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

-t, one of the items was to get a coffee shop to create a gishwhes drink special and put it on their menu board. This was ours: [link] I ordered one when I got the pic. I think I was vibrating for half the day.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Motherfucker. I just spent an hour trying to put brackets in my windows, basically failing and THEN realizing that my old shades don't actually work in the new windows. I should have bought all new ones yesterday. My mother came in when I was close to a breakdown and said she would get the guy doing her office walls to do it. So nice! But I'm still fucking aggravated, and don't understand why this is so hard. Obviously people have been able to install brackets on many many windows over the years.

Are you drilling pilot holes, Jesse? That makes a world of difference.

Oh, thanks aurelia! It was at the bottom of the special, but I don't remember what the special was. Yours sounds tasty.

Did not see it at the other two coffee shops I was in that day. Interesting.

Windows are fundamentally frustrating to try to do anything to, in my experience. I've had windows that you could not drill to mount brackets near the frame, it was just impossible. In fact, maybe my current windows? I'm looking at my curtains and noticing the mounting hardware is all pretty far outside the frames.

Yeah, I eventually did that, which did help, and then I googled a guy putting them up just with nails, which is way easier. My main problem is the tiny space and angles, so I basically can't drill them in without damaging the window frame.

I'm just grateful our neighborhood handyman is around this week.

GrubMarket just delivered my groceries and they gave me some free samples including an avocado! Score!
