And then the server told us they were out, and my daughter turns to me, narrows her eyes, and says, flatly, "NOW it's fair."

Well, I can certainly see Claudia Black saying that. ::grins::

I need to make a kale salad for dinner instead of going around the corner for Chinese takeout. But I waaaant lo mein and pot stickets. Sigh.

I got sushi for dinner, I should get around to eating that.

I had oysters Morgan City and crackers for dinner. Then the fire department band came in with drums and bagpipes, set up on either side of me at the bar, and started blaring away before I could cash out and run.

I support the cause you're raising money for (a pregnancy center), but I would prefer to support it without getting a migraine in return.

Bummer, Jesse. I have no idea about the timing of canceling the account.

I had cheddar cheese, an apple, and white wine for dinner. Very nice, if I do say so myself. If tot-less. But also bagpipe-less.

Mostly I'm glad to have realized where the problem was. And I meant to cancel that Uber account, anyway! So all's well that ends well, I guess.

I really like bagpipes, but maybe not inside.

We have met with three realtors and have one more to go. Except for one guy who was EXTREMELY smarmy, they all seem like people we could work with. We are going to be using those pod things, so you can pack up stuff and store it, then move when you want. We are going to get most furniture, all books snd knick-knacks out of the house to make it less personalized. Apparently, some buyers have no visual imagination, so they need some furniture to make it homey, but not a lot, to make to seem roomier. That's our goal by the end of the month, so it's packing time.

Packed six boxes of books today and HAVE NOT MADE THE SMALLEST DENT OH MY GOD THIS WILL NEVER END.

When we were selling our coop, we went with the realtor who said "oh, your furniture is fine" over the one who pointed at about half our stuff and said "Get rid of that, and that, and that". In the end, it was way more important to have the place clean than to have it empty.

Packing and moving is always a horror in life.

Son and GF went with me to the beach last night to watch a rocket launch from Cape Canaveral. We are about 150 miles away, but the launch was about 8:30 and in the dark you can see it quite well. Next time we will get our butts in the car and get withing sound range too. We used to go all the time, but they so often don't go off when scheduled that we got out of the habit.

Then we went to my current favorite place, Hurricane Alley, for late dinner. I had the Hurricane Andrew, which was perfect egg salad, lettuce, tomato and bacon. So back on diet today. My food choices when I order after 9 seem to be the most questionable. It was so tasty!!

Friends of ours just moved down there (he took a job with Lockheed Martin), and they watched the launch from their porch. DAMN.

Jesse, what's actually happened is that your credentials have been hacked (if you've used the same username and password on multiple sites, they are no longer safe), as Uber hasn't had a data hack. Listen to this week's podcast of Reply All; it is EXACTLY that situation and has now made me realize I need to use my password manager to generate unique passwords across the board.
