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

That sounds like plenty of shenanigans to me, Tep. Have fun!

visits to two different Claremont Colleges (Pomona, Pitzer),

Nice! I went to Harvey Mudd, took some good classes at Pomona and Pitzer that I think about to this day.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

I’m at the airport about 90 minutes ahead of my flight, and the airport info insists that my United flight will depart from terminal B, even though United’s terminal is A. So I am sitting at gate B23 with a very dubious look on my face.

I am at the correct gate! That’s a relief.

Now I’m dreaming of a world where there’s a waffle bar on board.

Our wings are not tired.

Have a blast, Teppy!

Smooth travels, and have a fabulous time!

I'm about to go in to have the front tag mounted on the car while I wait. Then a long work day and my once monthly therapy session tonight. I should eat first.

If I hadn't forgotten I was boiling eggs in the stove yesterday, I'd have hard boiled eggs to eat. Instead, I have a pot to clean before I try again... with an Alexa reminder this time.

No waffle bar, but there is wifi. And coffee.

Hooray for the correct gate. Sorry about the waffles.

I got a notice on my phone that there was an earthquake near Malibu, I hope it isn't too bad. The fire is plenty for southern california to be dealing with. Incidentally, I would like to report that every single time I get an earthquake notification I am earwormed with REM

The worst! I haven't had the issue since I started using the instant pot. Which reminds me that I should make deviled eggs!

"You should never say bad things about the dead, only good… Joan Crawford is dead. Good.” —Bette Davis

I'm happy to report that my mom's surgery went smoothly, though the online patient documentation doesn't confirm that anything was removed. (This has sent her into a spiral of dread about having to go in for chemo, and I've told her to wait until her follow-up appointment before making assumptions since her surgeon didn't mention anything unexpected to me.)

I just saw a new schedule that doesn't appear to rule out the vacation I've planned on taking in late October. Fingers crossed that our client doesn't have any delays or requests that interfere between now and then.
