I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

Apropos of nothing, you know what's great? Cheese.

A solid theory, but it requires rigorous testing. I'll get started on that asap.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm getting an ingredients box delivered tonight, but now I'm afraid it's not going to be cheesy enough! (What are we supposed to call those? Meal kit delivery.)

For what it's worth, I did half-ass my one thing! Now I think I'm going to straighten up and get out of here.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Jesse, I call them meal delivery kits. I used to do one, but then the delivery day was very inconvenient. I liked being able to cook them on the weekend when there was more time because the prep work was always much more than the time they estimated it to be. Although, I might try one again now that TCG gets home so much earler.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Right? Not only is "incredulously" used incorrectly, the bold type just compounds the offense.

I couldn't see very well, but as far as I can tell at least they didn't use Comic Sans.

You take the good when you can find it.

Our wings are not tired.

Instead of meal kits I have just taken to getting grocery delivery in general. I get auto ship on lots of things I use regularly, like vitamins. Today I setup the auto ship of cat food and litter from Chewy where I get Zoe's food! I really dislike shopping.

After the kitties become acclimated I'll let them go outside, but they recommend waiting a couple months so they are set on where home is. Not sure how I am going the whole going north for the summer thing, but I'll figure it out then. It is a long field trip for cats. They may have to summer with one of the boys. They should know them both well enough by then.

So far the lead up to major weather events and free delivery coupons from my grocery store of choice have aligned nicely. It's nice to not fight the bread-and-milk crazed hordes—well worth tipping the delivery person.

I pretty much get heavy stuff delivered and pick up stuff I want to choose myself later.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I have a meat delivery that I get about every 3 months, and I did have an organic produce delivery once a week, but they're not delivering anymore. It was kind of perfect because then I would only have to do a quick shop for dairy and specialty items.

I was thinking of signing up for a local CSA again, but they don't deliver to individual houses. I would have to go to the delivery spot in town and carry it home myself or make TCG do it.

You know what else is great? Getting a haircut, knowing I'm going to get paid again, buying flowers, and drinking a beer in the sun on the last day of shutdown.

Congratulations on the offer, Gud! You are awesome.
