Belated happy birthday, ND!
Happy birthday, Sheryl!
I usually work from home on Mondays, but maintenance is updating the smoke detectors/fire alarms in my building today and I decided I didn't need to be present for the auditory chaos.

Coding and Sleeping
Had a really hard weekend. The old house renovation is taking longer than expected for various reasons, and I made some mistakes which made things worse relationship-wise. Really feeling bad physically and mentally.
The house is looking very different now even in it's incomplete state.

Beautiful, Gud. House renovation ALWAYS takes longer than expected. It ain't you. Also, in case you forgot, no one should make you feel bad about being a human being.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Thanks for the birthday wishes!
My MIL took us out for dinner yesterday, and Gary took me out tonight. I have had alcohol and red meat two days in a row. How decadent!
(I did have to work today, though)

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I am skipping and skimming to pop up and say that I am listening to a podcast about social media use by kids on Slate. They just said “Adults would never understand this, but kids now have online friends that they might never meet. And they are important relationships”. I wanted to break in and say that I am 50 and I have internet friends. This is not so new, because I feel like a late adopter, because I didn’t really use BBS or IRC.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Munching on fruit after a 3-hour nap. I am spoiled with living in a city in which blackberry brambles run wild, and at certain bus stops the right time of the year you can spend your wait for the bus just stuffing yourself with ripe soft sun-warmed berries; I regret to report that these store-bought berries are ass.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I imagine they are like like store-bought tomatoes -- bred for durability rather than flavor.

Yeah, a couple decades older so totes used BBS.

Yeah, I often regret falling for what looks like real berries.

In San Francisco you can get great store-bought tomatoes, because they're heirloom and organic.
Berries are more iffy. But if I go to Gus's I can get fantastic cherries and peaches in season.

Happy birthday to beekaytee! It was good to see your fonts last week and I do hope you have a delightful day, and that your new home continues to treat you well in the coming year.
It is also beth b's birthday, so although sightings have been scarce, I hope she is being spoiled this day and always.
I'm never sure what to do with the Buffistas on the official Nilly Birthday Calendar who may or may not be lurking. A couple days ago was also Cybervixen's birthday. I know she is well because I see her on FB. Too many Buffistas missed around these parts. Nilly also had note of anniversaries and Buffista sprog birthdays, but I haven't acknowledged them feeling I would leave it up to the individual to mention. Yes, I may overthink this stuff.
