Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Always so glad to see you Shir.

Yay for bad dad jokes in semi-inappropriate settings.

Watching "Hush," it occurs to me that The Gentleman would be greatly impeded by texting. I mean, if Buffy hadn't made their heads explode.

Yay, Atropa's dad! I hope he recovers quickly.

I actually left the house today! I went out with thessaly. We had lunch, went to the craft store, and Trader Joe's. So, I finally got my pumpkin spice JoJo's. And tomorrow, I finally getting my hair cut and colored.

Ooh, good one, Vortex. No need for dry erase necklaces

You may recall from this morning that i needed to buy cat food on the way home and hoped I could pay for it with my phone because I left my purse at my house. Well, I could not pay with my phone. So a nice customer service person suspended my transaction and I headed home to get my purse. Except I had somehow locked my car door and while I had grabbed my ignition key when I walked off without my purse I had not grabbed the door key. So I got a Lyft downtown, went inside my house without cat food (taking my life in my hands) to grab my purse, got another Lyft back to the store, asked fir suspended transaction, was told some of my groceries had been put back but if I wanted to go grab them again I could, got back to discover they had not been put back so now I had 2, got that sorted out and paid for everything, came home and fed the cat.

So that was fun. And now I know how much a Lyft to the grocery store costs.

Ugh, that is entirely too much stress for cat food, but I'm glad you were able to get it done.

I accidentally bought a bottle of Y3000 Coke “Futuristic Flavored” and “Co-Created with Artificial Intelligence”; I thought I was getting Diet Cherry Coke. Anyway, first few sips I could not identify the flavor at all but thought it wasn’t bad. Now that I’m halfway through I think maybe it is bad. Or just doesn’t go with Sun Chips.

Remember when someone was gonna make, like, chips for ladies? Did that actually happen?

Thanks, sj. I feel like I paid some kind of dues and maybe tomorrow will be totally chill.

That's quite the bait-and-switch!

Wow that sounds pretty awful.

-t I’m glad you at least were able to get a Lyft with your phone, geez!

There were other things I meant to respond to but it’s bedtime and I just can’t. Not as bad as yesterday which was very full of Done, but definitely early bedtime tonight.

My fault for not reading the label. I have a lot of sympathy for the “just put the cocaine back in” crowd now.
