Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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

way too much in the way of pumpkin flavored this and that
pumpkin spice iced coffee

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.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

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.

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

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.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

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.

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.

I only drink black coffee but I'm happy for folks who are into the pumpkin spice lattes and such. I hope y'all are enjoying pumpkin spice season.
