Woo, Chiefs! That overtime delayed my school prep though. Did I mention that I took the teaching gig? It's both energizing and exhausting.

Karl, thank you for opening that story with "no one is hurt"! Fingers crossed the insurance payout for the car will be a good one.

I am stoked about my grey streaks and wish there was a way to bleach/dye only the still-brown bits so I can have silvery streaks among the blue/purple/green.

I rarely want to do anything on Mondays, but today is even worse.

The game was good. I’m not remembering many of the commercials, the Dunkin one and the Jesus one from the hate group are the only ones I recall right now.

I’m not an usher fan, so I was meh on the halftime.

Halftime just seemed complicated and way too busy, but Usher still has moves.

Karl, glad you're okay!

New job is good -- except the therapist I love (the only one here) took a new job. It will be great for him, but yikes! New people. Do not want. He assured me the person above him ( who is great, I've met her) will find someone awesome to replace him. We'll see, I guess.

Thursday I headed over to my sister's to take her to the doctor on Friday and celebrate my brother's birthday. I brought my laptop, but didn't really use it because the screen bugs my eyes. Therefore, I apologize for being neglectful in my birthday announcements!

Belated birthday wishes for -t, who I am sure is having a great one since she is sharing it with smonster. May the rest of the year include many delightful adventures.

Today we have the lovely joint birthday celebration of Pix and Maria! May the day be filled with treats and may the year to come include far more delight than anticipated.

Yesterday was a hectic as the previous days. Drove the couple hour drive home in the morning, including a diversion because of a small jet crash on I-75 in Naples. When home quickly made my Superbowl treats, which were delicious! I made veggie sliders stacked as follows: bun, sundried tomato spread, mozzarella, garlic powder & oregano, julienned sundried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, pesto, bun. They were super yum and all enjoyed them. We drove 2 hours north to BIL's BIL's place, watched the game, drove home dropping off a couple others, and got home around 1. But the game was pretty exciting and the company was excellent.

I liked the halftime show—especially Usher on roller skates! (well done, sir)—even though I don't know more than one of his songs. I loved the whole mid-90s R&B vibe.

When Ludacris joined the performance, I said "I am so uncool, I have no idea who that is," and my 65-year-old stepdad and 75-year-old aunt said "Ludacris!" and I said "Damn, you guys are cooler than me! ...although it's *extremely* easy to be cooler than me."

My hair is also becoming wavy as I get older, and I am DELIGHTED by this

Same here! And I’m also delighted. Also, I was watching a TikTok video the other day and now I understand what your user name means!

My new to me but really refurbished Apple Watch has arrived a day early and I’m waiting for it to charge so I can go to the maket. Because obviously I can’t go until my steps are going to count.

After successfully rescuing -t’s phone, we decided to get lunch at a coffee place on Magazine. I thought we’d beat the lunch crowd, but they serve breakfast and also it’s Lundi Gras. But it’s lovely and quiet on the patio and we haven’t died of starvation yet.

After we may try to find me a shiny shirt for tonight, then back to my house and eventually put to the parade route.

Ugh, Karl! That sucks!

Perhaps because I'd just had The Big Shed, I did not shed after COVID. Might have slowed the regrowth, maybe, but I was waiting for more shed, and more shed never came (then again, I also didn't shed after having a baby, which most people apparently do).
