Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay.

Ugh. I had a friend bring over takeout last night and I thought I’d eat it for lunch today….and then I left it sitting on the counter overnight. It’s tofu pad Thai but the internet seems convinced it will kill me if I eat it for lunch. Booooo

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

I would definitely eat that, meara, but I am cavalier about food safety.

I think that tofu is fine. If it were shrimp pad Thai, I’d say no

I would not, but my system seizes on any excuse to throw a tizzy. Which, more than anything else, even though there's plenty of else, killed my high school Peace Corps fantasies. Nobody needs to watch me finish the well then look for another hole to be sick in.

I'd probably microwave it an extra minute just to be sure, but without meat or dairy it should be safe.

Since it’s tofu I concur.

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

Timelies all!

Valentine's Day here is a little haphazard, as we haven't had time to plan anything. So Gary has gone out to pick up take-out from a local Italian restaurant, as delivery would take much longer. We couldn't order from a couple of our favorites, as we had to wait until Gary got home, and they weren't doing online orders by that time. Should be fine.

Our wings are not tired.

I'm pondering take-out options now.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I had coffee ice cream with hot fudge for Valentines dinner. It was a good choice.

I’ve joined the local astronomy club, and there was a meeting last night via zoom. The club trends older, so there were some technical hiccups, but things worked out. And there are some group skywatchers coming up that might pry me out of my apartment after dark.

That's cool, Calli!

I bought us a couple of chocolate covered strawberries at Wegman's. They were yum, and that's about our speed for V-day.

Unrelated to Valentine's day, we are going to a nearby "resort" today for a spa day, dinner, and an overnight at the hotel. We decided last week to do it this week just for a quick weekday getaway since we decided against a full-on trip to an island in March because we both have separate trips coming up soon. Should be fun! Coincidental timing to yesterday, though.

But first, water aerobics for me this morning.

Not bad for a Wednesday.
