Happy birthday to Atropa! I hope it is a spectacular day and that the year to come is filled with treats and delights.
Look, Angel, I know you've been out of the loop for a while, but I'm still evil. I don't do errands...unless they're evil errands.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Happy birthday Atropa!
Work is making me so cranky this week. I have a 5-day weekend coming up over Thanksgiving and I need it SO MUCH.

Happy Birthday, Atropa!
lisah, feel better!
We’re having Thanksgiving at Mom’s but I’m bringing quite a few things. I sort of got used to doing things my own way having Thanksgiving at home the last few years.

Happy birthday, Atropa!
Wine update - I just got an email that it was delivered and I can pick it up from the front desk at my convenience. WFH today, so Monday will be convenient. But that was quick!

I have no wine, and no convenient method of popping over to see -t. Pout.
3 days with northbound A1A closed now, and the city just said it will still be closed tomorrow. That doesn't even happen in most hurricanes. What a freak storm that was.

Wow Laura that’s wild!
I did manage to get 35 pounds of dog food delivered for just the price of a tip, so that was nice. Not “free” shipping like they claim, exactly, but I didn’t have to schlep to the pet food store that is very out of the way so yay. Thanks door dash person!
I have no plans most of the weekend and super just want to relax after a stressful week…but the plans I do have are both tonight (and one is a birthday I can’t miss). I want to be snuggled on my couch. Ah well, tomorrow I guess.

Happy Birthday Atropa!

There was a girl today in the store with her mother or grandmother (or possibly aunt) anyway the girl was maybe 10 or so and she just reminded me of a Matilda, not her appearance really but she had some really cool shoes and this burgundy and black velvet burnout wrap on over her top and was kind of dancing around in place while her relative was looking for something. Her grandma or aunt didn't know the English name of what she was looking for she just knew "mazamorra" and she apologized because she said her English wasn't that good (it really was though). I ended up googling it and finding out that Mazamorra is Columbian dish made from hominy and she was looking for dried hominy, which we don't have.
And then at the end of the day I had a customer who spoke also didn't speak English well looking for "the marshmallow cookies" and he made a gesture like he was patting something between his hands. I didn't quite understand when he said marshmallow so he said "the cookies for the marshmallows" and it clicked-- Graham Crackers! I made sure that was what he was making and I showed him where they were. I think I'm going to think of graham crackers and "The cookies for marshmallows" for awhile now.
