I look more rad than Lutheranism

Tim (who I have not murdered for waking me up last night to ask me what meds and supplements he takes) gets the monoclonal antibody treatment today, in about 90 minutes. I'm such a medical nerd that I'm more excited about it than he is.

Yes, the types of different flour we have is currently at 5, which seems like a lot.

My flour collection hasn't expanded in *kind* but I did go through an entire a 50-lb sack of high-gluten flour this summer.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh no, Toddson! I'm sorry to hear that and glad it wasn't worse. Be gentle with yourself over the next couple of days.

Tim (who I have not murdered for waking me up last night to ask me what meds and supplements he takes)

You are a very strong and also kind person.

what does one use high gluten flour for, bread? I think my sister also went through a 50 pound bag (reasons for me to want to go visit her, amen, except she just this week started a new job for the first time since March, so probably less time to bake)

I handed over one project last week but my other one is not really going quite yet so all I have to do it some trainings and some expenses? Hard to push to do either. I don’t even have any meetings today. What is this life? (What am I supposed to put on my time sheet???)

Mostly bagels, but also baguettes, pizza dough, fluffy (non-pocket) pita - any bread where you want a lot of chew.

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

Sorry about the fall, Toddson!

I can't stop buying colourpop eyeshadow palettes. I've used the pandemic to finally learn how to use more than one color of eyeshadow at a time. Evidently.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

wow ... you're wearing make up? I've almost given it up ... I may manage mascara, but reserve anything more for when I'm actually seeing people I know and/or want to look better for.

In other news, during the (earlier) plague, pilgrims had some NSFW badges, as opposed to more standard religious ones. Think it could start a trend nowadays?

Makeup is fun for me.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

There is so much fucking snow outside.
