You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

"Somewhere in this building is our talent." Toby Ziegler, my spirit animal

Well, let's hope Faith doesn't lose her three. Got some unwanted help from a neighbor and now the ramp outside my door looks great and our sidewalk outside is swept. which is fine, I guess, but who cares what that looks like? Nobody told me that coming into midlife would feel like a "Curb Your Enthusiasm" so much of the time. only I can't act like Larry ever, even when I most feel like it. And, it's so stupid--we bought them a gift to thank them for doing this thing we don't care about.(They're the kind of off-balance Christian it's, like, better to stay on the good side of.) But the flip side of being called to beautify something is that you thought it was an eyesore that maybe you couldn't stand to look at for one. more. instant. and I don't really need *that* thought in my head, either, argh. It really does look nice, but it probably won't last, and it's annoying being two punches on someone's Heavenly Frequent Flyer Miles.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Verdict: This loaf is VERY dense, but still tasty and perfectly edible with a little toasting.

(And I had not until this very moment connected the ironic dots that Faith the Vampire Slayer was defeated by too much garlic. That's not how that's supposed to work, narrative!)

Oh noooo Dolly Parton died!! Whyyyyy couldn’t it have been someone worse? (Not suggesting anyone in particular, should the FBI be asking)

I got my new glasses. Posted on FB.

I had misplaced my regular ones so have been wearing my really old ones and it is a huge difference and I can't tell if there are actually issues or it's just my eyes freaking out.

I CAN see my phone really clearly though so that is nice not to have to zoom in on things or try to find the magic spot of getting my phone just close enough
