Our wings are not tired.

GF's parents did drive up to watch it closer. The crazy part of being closer is first you see the sky light up, then the actual rocket on its way, then the sound. The sound can be quite a bit later depending on how far away you are. It rolls over you long after the visuals. Quite fun. The area around the Cape is really quite nice.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

(if you've used the same username and password on multiple sites, they are no longer safe),

I don't even do that! Well, I guess I have, but not on financial accounts. But this does give me motivation to actually figure out Last Pass, which I get free from work.

We are about 150 miles away, but the launch was about 8:30 and in the dark you can see it quite well.

That sounds awesome.

I had the Hurricane Andrew, which was perfect egg salad, lettuce, tomato and bacon.

As does that, honestly.

HAVE NOT MADE THE SMALLEST DENT OH MY GOD THIS WILL NEVER END.

Moving is traumatic. When I moved I made the decision not to own anything that had to be stored in a box and shoved in a storage unit. I bought this stuff to enjoy, anyway, so I like having fairly cluttered shelves with my knick knacks.

Moving is already the worst, and I can't imagine trying to sell your house as well!

The status is NOT quo.

If you go to Have I Been Pwned, you can see if your email addresses have been put up for sale on the dark web: [link]

My old one had been spread st least three times. Chilling. I'm now working on changing all my passwords, because while it's true my financial sites have different passwords, I have gotten lazy about other sites, sometimes despite the fact they sometimes are associated with my credit card, like Uber.

Cereal: The three places I'd been hacked were tumblr, Adobe, and an ancient myspace account.

Ugh, I really have to add that to my project list, like starting today. I just have so many user names and passwords in so many places!

I use the 1 Password vault, and its pretty awesome. Even with that I'd gotten lazy though.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Plans to go to Memphis for theatre and dinner were derailed by oversleeping thanks to the headache the bagpipers and drummers gave me last night. No big loss, I looked up an online preview of the play I was going to see online and it actually didn't look that appealing. Also, I've already splurged too much on eating out this weekend so high end sushi is probably better put off for a week or two. (The money will come from the same checks, but I'll feel more fiscally responsible.)

Now to figure out if my skull can handle Skull Island, or if I should just stay home and read this afternoon.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Those are useful links, Pix, thanks! I really need to manage my passwords better. My bank account has a unique password, but other financial sites don't, and I know that's bad, so why do I do it? Lazy, same reason I do all the other dumb stuff I do.

Moving is hard! I might stay where I am forever just because I'm too lazy to move. It would have to be the perfect house and the perfect situation to get me to move again.

The Pods sound like a great idea, though.

Being able to watch a rocket launch from your porch also sounds great! I've never seen one live, it's on my bucket list.

I'm on Day Two of the monthly Intractable Headache. This time with light sensitivity! Woo, upgrade! I never used to get bad headaches with my period, but the last year or so I get them for about 3 days right before the Communists invade. This is an aspect of menopause I am not enjoying.

(I hesitate to call them migraines, because I'm sure they're not as bad as the migraine headaches some of my friends get. But if I have to call in sick for it, because I can't stand to look at the computer screen, then it's a migraine. At least as far as work is concerned.)
