Lesson of my day... Never, ever, let circus people schedule, organize, or plan anything in your life.

Because you make plans with them, but more and more of them keep pouring out of their cars?

If I had a financial advisor, he'd probably laugh at my paltry 401k, but I don't want to lose it in the coming crash. I could move it into "safer" vehicles but what's actually safe if he crashes the economy?

Yeah. Hopefully he can't crash the whole world's economy (one hopes). So I have some stuff in international stuff, and some stuff in renewables, and then we decided to cash out some stuff that's done really well and set that aside so it's protected (assuming we don't get a huge hit of inflation on top of everything else).

I went wine-tasting with a fan friend (Monanotlisa, for those who know her) and then had excellent shrimp tacos with a serrano margarita. What I shouldn't have done is have another glass of wine when I got home. That said, I still went for a run this morning, and assembled my new vacuum cleaner (it's so light! And fast! And vacuumy!), and in 7 minutes I will change my clothes and get ready for dog class. Oh my exciting life.

Timelies all!

Quiet weekend here.

Now I want tater tots.

Monanotlisa is a great handle.

I totally bought tater tots thanks to you people. Or "Crowns," I think.

Boxed Mac & Cheese with tuna is a totally cromulent post-workout meal, right? I had a pie-plate full of spring mix greens before going.

I am not cleaning as much as I had planned (go ahead be shocked), but I did do dishes I had left before vacation, and did an initial pass at the fridge. Also got all the mail sorted that came last week, most of it directly to the recycling. Now I am clearing some off the TIVO (that should count as cleaning) and doing some correspondence as well as belated gifts I need to get to people this week.

Hi

You are a post-vacation rock star, msbelle!

Absolutely, WindSparrow. Carbs, protein, ease of preparation - totally cromulent.

I miss tater tots. I need to find a regular supplier of sweet potato tots.

Pre-Reagan, Louisiana was a Dem stronghold. Still kinda weirds me out that it's not now. It was never, as a State, what you would call Progressive, but it being Republican is bizarre.

I have hurt my knee somehow. I suspect by sleeping on it funny, since that is the activity that has dominated my life for the last little while. Embarrassing. But a handy excuse for seriously resting today, which I probably would have done anyway. All that sleep was not, somehow, rest.

So someone used both my credit card AND my email address to take an Uber in Russia.

Oh wait a second, I have an Uber account (that I stopped using) -- that must be what they actually hacked, not everything else! Too bad I just made up new passwords for both sites that I'll never remember.

So should I cancel the Uber account now or wait until the Discover investigation happens? Hmmm.
