Oh god, they came back to the house in between excursions. "For lunch," they said. And she's been talking nonstop since she walked through the door.
Kill me now.
I like pancakes 'cause they're stackable. Ooo, and waffles 'cause you can put things in the little holes if you wanted to.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I have two relatives who never shut up. It's a trial to be with them, even though I love them.
I'm sitting in the lounge at the mechanic's. The driver's side window of my Hyundai broke, exactly the same way the passenger side window broke a couple years ago. The winding mechanism slipped and crushed the glass. It also has a sensor light that has been on for four years, with nothing actually wrong with the car, and I had to replace the gear shift because it developed a sharp edge somehow. I'm starting to really regret not buying another Chevy. The only reason I'm not trading this one in before something worse goes wrong is that it's paid off.

Coding and Sleeping
Ugh, Zenkitty. Car troubles are always a pain. Wish I was close enough to run codes on that light and see if I could fix it.
My car hit 240,000 miles today which means it's time to change the oil, which I don't want to do since it's so fucking hot outside all the time.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
The mechanic said there's nothing wrong, but to turn off the light would require dismantling the dashboard, which would be more expensive than it's worth.
It doesn't even have 40,000 miles on it yet. Maybe I'm being too harsh, but it seems like things shouldn't have started to break already. I got 240,000 miles on one of my Chevrolets without anything ever going wrong. Except for a busted transmission pan, but that wasn't the car's fault.

Okay, they left for part 2 of their excursion, and we are at the beach. Where it's peaceful, with sporadic conversation. Which is fine.

If I should come into another cash windfall, I'm going to do an excursion to a northern beach where I can hear waves on rocks and be relatively cool (as compared to the desert). Basking in the sun is not a vacation goal of mine. Though a broad, shady porch with a comfy chair in earshot of the waves sounds blissful.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Oh, look what home is for sale in Los Angeles: [link]

And now they're at the beach and she's STILL TALKING. Oh my god.
