"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

I have just been to the grocery store and now I am exhausted and sweaty. I was able to get most of what I really needed today. They didn't having any baking powder, but I did get more Baking Soda and Cream of Tartar so I'll be able to make my own.

Shrift, I was going to mention that Alembic has a Cocktail Subscription plan where you can buy a week's worth of cocktails (that you pick up in cute little Mason jars).

Oh, neat! And they come with snacks so I could get an artisanal cheese board with it. I'm very tempted, but it will depend on how heavy a week's worth of cocktails and snacks are if I'm hauling them back to my place on foot.

Do you have any opinions on their classic vs. seasonal cocktail offerings?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

You're hired, Matt.

Love you back, Laura. And Katie.

And, mood persisting and in regard to today's news, Betsy DeVos will be the only woman in the enclosure. Let's see how she views the accused's rights--oh, there won't be a mechanism to accuse. Good luck, honey. Karma's here. By the way, *your* grandkids are all working at McDonalds. They say hi.

Geez, I felt better last night after y'all letting me vent. Till I read the news. Gotta just put that down and walk away.

Hi, hummingbird! I'm glad you and your brethren exist! Thank the maker for you all.

Gud, may the job situation go as best for you as possible.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Beverly, there are a few more women qualified - Kellyanne Conway; Sarah Huckabee Sanders; Elaine Chao; Ivanka ... I'm sure there are more, but I'd prefer not to remember them.

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

My BFF who works in a grocery store said the possibility of a meat shortage is real, and suggested I stock up, so I stuffed my little freezer with hamburger patties because they're easy. Even if there isn't a shortage, and I hope there isn't, it's not like I won't eat it.

The farmer's market in town is held in a big parking lot. They've rearranged things a bit and now it's a drive-through. Clever.

I haven't had any caffeine today and I'm slowly f a d i n g o u t

I'm down with Beverly's sense of justice. Let them live out their lives in the same destitute desperate situation they think is fine for others to live in.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Job~ma, Gud!

Bev, I also figure I'm cooking any meat, not eating it raw. That would destroy the virus even if it were on the meat.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK, this might sound crazy, but: I'm so bored of my house, I bought a scented candle, and I think it's helping! I have not traditionally been a scented candle person, but Jess (?) sent me one through Secret Holiday Gifter one time, and I got a cinnamon one for Christmas, but I feel like it's too late for cinnamon, but I liked the idea, so I bought a Yankee candle alongside some other stuff I was ordering, and it's a nice change to my senses!

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

Jesse a small wax melter might be a thing to look into. Now I am scent LOVER, so I have 4 in my house and at least 1 on almost all the time. The nice thing is getting to change the scents when you want.

Maybe I will turn into a scent person.
