Son & GF left the day before yesterday and SIL & BF arrive today. I like guests so that is cool. They left NYC, so although it is a chilly 70 right now I am sure it feels wonderful to her. She went directly from the airport to a locally popular ice cream parlor. We'll see her at some point. She grew up here so mostly she will just be crashing here in between seeing friends and relatives. My other SIL's birthday is tomorrow so the plan is to go to the Miami Zoo and then some vegan restaurant after. (It was some unusual nationality food too, but I don't remember what) I'll make a last-minute decision on the zoo, but will check out the exotic food.

Sounds like fun, Laura! My DH volunteered for the grocery store, so that worked out well. I've been doing a paper crossword and falling asleep, so I think I'll just give into the nap.

I got everything I needed at the regular grocery store (including white queso dip, since I was deprived of it at TJs), and the store is so big (Meijer) that it didn't feel crowded. Still, all the shoppers' body language seemed to say "You'd better not take the last of the [whatever someone else was standing in front of] or there will be a reckoning."

Tim: "Do you think that just because that was *your* body language in front of the chili beans and eggs?" Me: "It's true; I *was* a little stabby as I approached the egg section."

Now I have a vat of chili on the stove and corn muffins in the oven and the Bengals are playing at 8 p.m. And the big snow allegedly is coming some time tomorrow.

I also have meds for a sinus infection, hooray. I love that my doctor's office does online e-visits for simple shit like sinus infections. I did the e-visit at noon and had meds by 5 pm.

I like the sound of all of that. Especially the chili.

Yay meds and eggs!

I met my sister for pedis this morning. When we went out to the parking lot there was a purple jeep with the Buffy logo “B”, and the Grr-argh monster on it. So if any b.org folks were in Auburn Hills, MI today, hi! I like your jeep!

Especially the chili.

I made chili last week and I can vouch that it is Just The Thing for February.

I have reserved a hotel in Tokyo. This one! [link]

I, too, like their Jeep. From California.

Today wasn't as productive as I'd planned, but at least I got the wall art situation in my bathroom sorted. Will take pictures once there's some sunlight hitting that side of the house next week. Everything I didn't get done was either ruled out by soggy leaves/limbs or of the no particular hurry persuasion.

If my grocery pickup goes as planned tomorrow I'll be making chili Sunday night and eating it for the next few after, just in time for the cold snap.

I am filled with admiration for that jeep!

Mmm, chili
