Haven't you killed me enough for one day?

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

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
You should ALWAYS get Graeter's delivered.

I'm doing a pretty good job of convincing myself that if I can get Graeter's delivered any time, I don't have to do it today. It's a struggle.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That reminds me I forgot to look for the Ben & Jerry's/Tony's Chocolonely flavor when I was at the store yesterday.

I’ve been tempted several times to get Jeni’s delivered but then I see the total and think about how much almost-as-tasty ice cream I could buy in person, and shut the window.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Today in exciting renovation news, the electrician was here installing the wiring for the exhaust fan and the new bathroom light fixtures. We had a light in our kitchen (remodeled by the same firm 5 years ago) that stopped turning on about a month ago, and I asked if he could take a look at it since he was in the house anyway.
So he takes the light out, and to test if it's the unit or something else he screws a bare bulb into the empty socket.
And all the other lights in the kitchen go out.
Which then led to him and the owner of the design firm (who had stopped by to pick up a check from me) spending about 45 minutes alternately saying (to each other) "What the hell...that is so WEIRD!" and (to me), "We can fix everything, don't worry about it" while they tried various configurations of removing the high hats and looking underneath them for...I'm going to say... wires? Not wiring properly and should be wiring better?
(They did eventually figure out what was causing the short in addition to the bad light unit, and now all 6 recessed lights turn on when you flip the switch. But it was a more exciting afternoon of "Will I have lights in this room ever again?" than I had initially planned on.)

I had delicious GF mini apple pies delivered (basically, for me, though I shared) at Friendsgiving. From a placein Michigan we knew about from Matt's previous companys. Godbelly is magical. Now I want the pies... also, I've never had Grater's, just sayin'.
Ooh, exciting electrical mysteries. Glad they were solved, Jess.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Well, I did another rapid Covid test, and this one was positive. Crap.

I'm going to call Urgent Care in the morning and see what they say. It looks like I'm not eligible for the test-to-treat locations where a pharmacist prescribes it, because I'm on cholesterol medication, and there's not really a good way to reach my doctor on weekends (plus I haven't been in for my physical in a while, so I don't have the blood tests on file that the test-to-treat places need.)
