Aw, meara

I rarely remember my dreams, usually just a few images and a general impression of what was going on. This one was unusually vivid.

Successfully gave a pint of blood, should have antibody results in a week or so (forgot to make my next appointment I just realized, oops, but I have the phone number for the site I go to so I can call them directly). Stopped by Trader Joe's for challah, they had round holiday loaves! Also picked up a bottle of Honey Moon viognier as that seemed appropriate and way too much in the way of pumpkin flavored this and that because of course I did. Checked my work email for the thing I was expecting on Tuesday that I would've had to do some work on and found instead the other party postponing our next meeting so I do NOT have to work while on vacation at all! Pretty good day so far and no ambitions for the rest of the day!

That's a good day, -t!

I got a pumpkin spice iced coffee at Starbucks today, which was delicious, but ridiculous.

And I missed my shot to conveniently give blood this week, so we'll see when I make it back there/when they make it back to me.

I find the long ass day in the car drives actually work much better with very frequent stops, even just to walk around the vehicle and get back in. Otherwise I get stiff and/or overtired.

My family's long drives always include rest stops every 2-3 hours no matter what (use bathroom/get snacks if needed or just stretch legs), but These Days I don't know if I'd be more nervous about multiple 5-minute rest stop breaks vs one night in a hotel. Or two hours on a plane. Honestly this is why I haven't been more than 2 hours from my house all summer.

Yeah, "string theory" is the one I was looking for. Like I told dcp, reading $ as string says you've worked with certain programming languages or computer systems - I think it goes all the way back to BASIC.

I LOVE ALL THE PS STUFF! except it seems coffee. I got JoJos and petite cookies and fakey Pop-Tarts (The actual pumpkin Pop-Tarts that come out limited edition I have not seen yet, but this year I am going to STOCK UP!, and some soup.

Oh, man, only now do I realize I forgot to look for pumpkin ravioli!

Also got a pumpkin cold foam whatever on the way to give blood. Yum.

And string theory totally makes sense but I would need to see it in context to get there myself, I think.

Timelies all!

Haven't had much by way of pumpkin spice flavored things, as I don't like coffee. I haven't even had pumpkin pie, as my MIL doesn't like it, so we always do apple pie at Thanksgiving.

The Trader Joe's wave of pumpkin stuff is about to become a tsunami. They had some stuff last week, including gluten free pumpkin bagels, which are so fucking good.

Also got a pumpkin cold foam whatever on the way to give blood.

Yeah! That's what I had! I liked it.

Tomorrow might be a perfect day to go to Trader Joe's for All The Pumpkin.
