Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Aldis Hodge is real, smells amazing and was always super nice. If I didn't run into him at several Kane shows, I wouldn't believe he was real either.

I am in this sentence and I don't like it.

Same.

Me without autopay would be very bad. All my my insurances except earthquake are autopay and my agent has an annual reminder to call me when that is due.

Didn't feel it!

Personally, I'd rather deal with the pits when eating then pit the cherries.

I bought a cherry-pitter this year just for clafoutis.

Speaking of coping mechanisms, I have a highly fiddly technical analysis I have to do, and I have spent most of the week doing other shit (that also needed to be done) because I dislike this task enormously. Sigh. Working on it now. Except part of the task involves getting quotes from charter companies on how much it would cost to rent a charter boat in Long Beach Harbor, and I'm all "don't wanna". Bah.

Being the boss means you don't get to dodge all your responsibilities.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

The coffee bar in my building that makes vanilla chai lattes has reopened. Yay!(They've been closed since last March)

Huh! It was a long one that had my TV and computer monitor rattling and hard to pinpoint which one with all the earthquake activity, but probably was the 5.9 out of Smith Valley, NV.

I was able to access the new Leverage thru Prime. I’m trying to keep myself to one episode per day to make it last.

This was me, BUT…

Although I have not tested it yet.

I'm incapable of that kind of self-control.

Punishingly Intricate

Leaving the cherry pits in clafoutis is supposed to make it more almond-y and I'm pro that!

I do not have a cherry pitter but last year found out my reusable metal straws are pretty perfect for that.

Went for a walk with a friend and the dog got covered in what I fear is foxtail grass, which if I don't get it out of his fur could really hurt him. So I spent quite a while digging through his fur (HE HAS SO MUCH FUR) but doubt I really got all of them, though I got bunches. Also worried there's some in his paws or he ate it or sniffed it and it will tunnel through to his brain and kill him (I've heard horror stories!)
