there's a place in downtown Seattle that makes the most amazing fries I've ever had -- I think they cook them in duck fat. SO GOOD.
Mmmmmm! There's a food truck here that serves duck-fat fried tater tots. Delicious.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Home again, home again. Definitely a migraine, but the pain is like a 1, maybe 1.5 However, I have crazy nausea. I almost booted on the plan, which was a totally normal smooth flight. But I didn't, thank god.
My FitBit glitched and told me I was 6,000 steps over my goal when I was only at 5,100 steps. (Though it wouldn't be unheard of for me to make my step goal –900 steps.)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
The trade war has hit my library
It hit my theatre the day after the tariffs were announced. Even though we ordered a new Genie lift before that date they hadn't started building it yet so it's going to cost an extra $600 or so. I've been getting notices from other vendors that various products will be going up anywhere from 6-12%.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I have been wondering how aluminum tariffs will impact us but I don't know who to ask.

I didn't think Bustle would spoil me for Infinity War, but scrolling article titles last night I ran across a very minor spoiler that I won't share here. (The title mentioned a thing I was assuming would happen -- not something major, like "Everyone Becomes Lizard People Who Tap Dance and Juggle" -- but still. Dang, Bustle.) Glad I'm seeing it in 2 1/2 hours.
Migraine is still barely lingering -- maybe a 0.5 on a scale of 0-10. That won't stop me from seeing the movie. Hell, back in the day, I saw Batman Begins with a full-on migraine with a pain level of about 7. I don't recommend it, but I wasn't going to let a migraine stop me.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Due to the DH having a bunch of end of the month articles to get out, we aren't going until Wednesday. I assume I'll be spoiled in some fashion by then, but I'm hoping to be somewhat unscathed.

I might be able to go next weekend, depending on how I'm feeling after surgery. I failed to set up a sitter for this weekend.
