Wondering whether rum might help.

I'd say it can't hurt, but we all know that's a lie. I hope you feel better soon, -t.

Don't throw stones into explosive suburban mud pool, expert warns.

People who live with mud pools shouldn't throw stones? Not quite as catchy I think, but...

I woke up at 430am and only sort of slept for the next couple hours. Dislike. Can't even blame that one on the sunrise.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Why are apples so freaking inconsistent? I get great apples at a store, go back a few days later and get the exact same ones, and they're just blah.

I feel so betrayed by mealy peaches.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I don't even try peaches anymore. When we lived in Washington, maybe.

I had a big farmer's market peach for breakfast today. It was at that perfect liquid-y-ripe-but-not-spoiled stage.

So far the peaches I've eaten have been fantastic. But there's always a mealy one just lurking.

Our wings are not tired.

Granny Smith apples seem a safer bet for me and rarely disappoint. Peaches I avoid until I see someone else take a bite and exclaim their joy. The percentages are just too low.

I'm sorry, Sheryl. You must be so exhausted. How is G handling it all?

Last brag, I swear. The A1c numbers came in today and that is 5.2, which is rocking. So, sticking with the plan. It took quite a lot of trial and error, but feel like we have a handle on it now.

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

I can only get peaches from the Farmers Market because they spoiled me for other peaches. I can usually get good apples at Whole Paycheck. I'm always buying fruit because it is the one thing I know ltc will always eat.

Mr S and ltc are almost the same exact age. ltc was awful for her grandparents today. I think she was better after I went in my room and shit the door. Apparently, I was being rude to her.

Yay, Laura! What ended up working for you?
