Yesterday.
Mmm. Wife soup. I must've done good.

By any chance, is today Erika's birthday, too? In my head, it's today or close to today.
Yesterday!

What is even happening?
Oh, I'm sorry I missed it.
Happy belated birthday, Erika!

In a similar blast from the past, a NSFW tumblr blog I follow has been tagging explicit posts #lemon. Remember the citrus scale?

Calli, as someone who was in anime fandom in the 90s and 00s, that's a ...splash... from the past!
One Direction!?!?! Good lord.
Jesse, Morton Salt Girl is great, I'm just sorry I couldn't put a word in for Got Milk, since my sister worked on it for a while.

Things I have done today: returned stuff to two stores, went to the drugstore, post office, and bank, got T-Mobile to make my SIM an eSIM so I can maybe buy a local one while traveling, currently waiting for a pedicure.
Things I haven't done: pack.
Also amused that the T-Mobile employee was looking at a website on how to do the eSIM transfer, and when she gave my phone back to me, I saw it was...Reddit. Not the official T-Mobile web page of something. Lol! It worked?

That's hilarious, meara.
I am planning how to get to the stadium for the football game on Sunday and I'm really glad I looked at the official website ebcause I had no idea about all these restrictions on what yo can bring in. I mean, I guess I had heard something about it but I hadn't paid any attention and it's basically, like, just don't carry anything if possible. Which I can probably manage, just bring my phone and credit cards, but that's a long time to be without my beloved high tech water bottle. Especially since we are going for an up to 6 mile walk before hand and on the way...
Happy belated, erika!

I finished the last of my cold brew coffee this morning, so I refilled the rumble jar. I'm off work tomorrow (my final 9/80 day off of the year, alas) so I want to bring said jar home with me, so it's sitting on my desk just to the right of my peripheral vision. Every time I turn my head that way there's more brown filling the jar from the bottom and less transparent remaining on top. It's kind of neat, almost like a really slow and placid lava lamp.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I will recommend it to someone else!
You guys, my freshman (I mean first-year) advisees are so cute! One stood me up today, so not perfect, but the other one is so great! He feels like he is struggling in a class, so he has already been to office hours and is trying get a tutor! Also it sounds like he is actually doing well in the class, just finding it hard. I was like, "Oh, but have you ever found a class hard before in your life?" The answer was maybe once. So he is doing it! That kid is going to be great.
