I look more rad than Lutheranism
It's far too cold for May here.
It's like frickin' early March here.
Jesus, I mowed the lawn today in long pants and a long-sleeved shirt. I had to wait until about 3 p.m. for it to get over 50 degrees (I am a delicate flower and I get cold easily).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sorry, I didn't notice.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
The local burger chain offers panko-breaded lightly fried asparagus with garlic aioli for about a month every year. I....got some today, and also yesterday. ;) It is so delicious, and I feel like I haven't effectively eaten my greens over the last two months. So I'm making up for lost roughage, I guess!
It is 85 degrees in Portland this afternoon, but fortunately, a significant wind factor has kept things from being unbearable. Next week it is supposed to rain the whole time, so I'm enjoying it while it lasts.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I washed a sink full of dishes and added yogurt to my meal plan. Does that count as two accomplishments? Two more than I expected today, tbh

That's totally two accomplishments!

Hooray!

Coding and Sleeping
Definitely two accomplishments!
I decluttered (three trash bags!), got rid of a bunch of cardboard, vacuumed and shampooed the basement and living room, washed dishes, and cooked dinner.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I made pork fried rice, using leftover Cuban pork, leftover rice, frozen mixed veg, and a leek that I hadn't needed for another dish earlier this week. Following some online advice, I cooked it on a higher heat than usual. The rice ended up with crispy bits, as did the veg. I was really happy with it, especially as it kept a fair bit of food from going to waste.

Gudanov's list of accomplishments for one day is like two weeks for me. Impressive!
Today I jogged around the neighborhood, got unreasonably cranky at a driver who rolled through an intersection and somehow missed seeing me in the middle of the road, read a book, did a little laundry, made pastry cream, and now I have a pot of Helen Rosner's Roberto soup on the stove. (I had to sub in bratwurst and bok choy for the Italian sausage and kale, hope it works.)
I have to say it's almost identical to Mark Bittman's "cassoulet" but with fewer veggies and beans.
