I look more rad than Lutheranism

I don't know if you saw my post on FB but in Japan there's a hot sweet potato truck that goes around instead of an ice cream van.

Do those kids even know what they're missing by not being able to get a Scooter Crunch bar or a Spongebob ice cream on a stick? On the other hand, I would like someone to bring hot sweet potato to my house right now.

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

He is trying. He has smoked since he was about 10 stealing dad's cigarettes, so it is a challenge.

My Dad started around 13 and kicking that habit was rough. He never managed although he tried several times. So addicting.

Japanese kids are not lacking for sweet treat opportunities branded to beloved characters. Matilda had a custard filled Taiyaki shaped like Snoopy while we were there.

I did some tasks! Not the most onerous one, but I got things out of the sink and into the dishwasher while washing a fair number on the spot, and wiped some (not all) counters down.

The rain has lulled so I think I'll hi-dee-ho to the cafe for Second Coffee and a grocery run.

One thing I've become conscious of is that I don't have a great morning or weekly routine anymore. Everything was driven on getting Matilda off to school and that ended with her graduation. I'm basically a retiree at this point so I need to stop treating every day as Saturday because I do better with structure.

During this time while Matilda is away I want to focus on not just running more regularly but taking something like Pilates. Eating better, losing weight. This would all be helped if I could get frickin' eggs which were a big protein source when I lost weight before.

I have filed my taxes! Now to see if I get my refunds in Dogecoins or rebates on a cybertruck. If anything sketchier than a delay happens due to the current mess, I believe my next hobby will be taking up sharpshooter training.

Wait, that’s a real thing? I last bought eggs in early January and got two dozen organic for like $7.50 at Costco. Maybe it’s a Midwest thing? I’ve been assuming it was all kind of over blown the way all the crying over milk prices a couple of years was.

Also, would somebody please come by my house with hot sweet potatoes? Like sometime next week would be ideal.

Our wings are not tired.

I haven't had any issue getting eggs. Might be regional.

I called my local rep. They answered the phone and discussed stuff. Said to call often and that they log the calls.

Punishingly Intricate

That’s great, Laura!

I think the scarcity of eggs on the west coast has to do with bird flu (also no problem to buy here).

Eggs here are $5.80 a dozen last I saw. It does seem there are fewer on the shelves than usual, but I don't know if that's supply or demand.

I think I paid $3.50 a few days ago at Trader Joe's.
