Happy Birthday Zenkitty

Happy Birthday, Zen!

I have 2 days off. The store remodel starts tonight and will last until Oct or into Oct . I'm not sure. There are all kinds of rumors going around... especially since the restrooms are going to be renovated and will have to be closed for ...not sure how long. A few days , a week? I've heard different estimates. We will have executive portable restrooms outside . And I suggested that we proactively let people know as they come in when the restrooms are closed. Or at least tell as many or pek as possible. So they can plan accordingly.

There will be signs but people don't read signs.

Also there have been too many women wearing pajamas or nightgowns as street clothes. I'm not talking sleep pants and slippers and a t shirt (that is fairly normal) but one elderly lady was wearing what I thought was a sundress but I realized when I could see the color of her underwear it was a night gown. And another woman had a capri pj set on. It was cute but it was pajamas.

I've seen 2 different people come into the store in bathrobes back in the winter. One was a college age looking girl and the other was a man who looked on his 60s. He had jeans on, the bathrobe, and loafer slippers.

I see a lot of hair bonnets but another college age girl came in with a towel around her head. bath towel wrapped around her head, pajamas pants etc.

I will admit to occasionally walking the dog with my hair towel on... but, you know, only to take her out, let her pee, then come back in. I don't go shopping in a wet (or dry) hair towel.

Will also walk her in flannel bottoms and a T-shirt for her 6a/7a "OMG it's been all night, I must peeeeeee," run, but, er, you can't see through those PJs. Have def gotten coffee at the drive through like that, too, tbh. But, again, drive through. It's between me and the barista.

I was in a crowd at a Readercon party (not exactly a raucous affair for this set of book readers) and it was quite the subject of conversation at the time, but this is the Very Liberal subset in the Very Bluest Commonwealth.

Personally, I'm just taking the missed assassination as another sign that he's the actual Antichrist.

I don't care about the sleep pants and crocs at this point. It's the bathrobe or the night gown that have me baffled.

But then I'm baffled at why someone stole Slim Fast bars and Crystal Light (on different days , not on the same day).

I also had to count this as a good day because the elderly lady who is a regular and always "asks" where things are by barking out "Canned Fruit! Canned Fruit!" or "Butter! Butter!" actually ASKED me where the dried fruit was and said please and thank you.

And I made a new snack today. I got some Ritz crackers, peanut butter and Indulgence Trail Mix (has mixed dried fruit, chocolate chips and peanut butter chips and nuts) , spread peanut butter on the Ritz cracker and then dipped it into the Trail mix (I had it in a bowl) and ate it. It was really good. I'm going to try it with celery and peanut butter as an Ants on a Log variation.

It's the bathrobe or the night gown that have me baffled.

Our neighborhood grocery store some years ago had Sunday morning coffee and donuts and it was tradition to come in jammies, or at least slippers. But it was a thing. Encouraged and only for Sunday morning.

Bras seem to be very optional lately . and i'm always torn between -- yeah! wear what you want! and-- I don't think I want to see your nipples that clearly.

It's the bathrobe

Big Lebowski tribute, perhaps?

That idiot judge in Florida has dismissed the classified documents case against Trump. They're going to appeal, of course, but jesus fucking christ I am tired of this guy and the disgusting apparatus that's been constructed to insulate him from any kind of consequences or expectation of reasonable behavior.
