Happy Birthday, Drew!

I found going to the grocery store yesterday so stressful that this mornign I signed up for Imperfect Produce. of course, now they say they will have no deliveries for me until sometime next month... Still, it seems reasonably priced given that I'm not going out for any meals, basically.

Although last night dinner was half a bag of potato chips and some trail mix, and half a bottle of rose in my friend's back patio. Yay healthy.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I posted around this issue on FB, but I am looking at adopting my last foster, Miley. She is in Texas. The foster family she is with now are people, but they have 3 other dogs and are not in great health, She has had several issues since being there - allergies, not eating, eyedrops, now a skin thing and going to the bathroom inside. I do not think they have the time and attention to give her what she needs. Her medical things may be unrelated, but I have a gut feeling that they are connected.

So now I am looking at flying to to get her and buying an extra seat for her to return as I think she is too big to go under the seat in a carrier.

Aw, Miley.

Oh, no, Brian Dennehy died. I always liked him.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That is so many food groups! I say you're good.

I'm accidentally getting a meal kit box thingy tomorrow, and I'm just glad I know about it now since I'm going food shopping later. It's not what I would have picked but I've decided that's kind of good, because at least it's different than what I would make myself.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm glad regions are getting together to plan recovery and all that, but I actually find it kind of stressful, because Texas sucks? Like, my life is being held hostage by a governor who chastised the state for only buying the second highest number of guns in the U.S. and a lieutenant governor who said grandparents should just get COVID and die for their grandkids.

Our wings are not tired.

I wish I could say things were better in Florida, but we are stuck with a Trump wannabee governor until the 2022 election. His ads during the election included his toddler child "building a wall".

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Shir, are sky and water plural in Hebrew? In English we can say "the skies" and "the waters" but the meaning is a little different. Language is fascinating.

They are! No singular version for sky or water. News has a singular version - and it's "new". And by that I mean that's the literal translation of the singular form. It took me years to remember that even though it ends with an s and the (supposed) singular is new (as in Hebrew), it's still a singular. C'mon, language!

And huh, thanks for telling me that. I felt there was some difference just from reading, but I never officially learned it and only now googled it.

Shir, English is hard. Often weird. It uses a lot of idioms and has lots of irregular verbs.
