Fingers crossed!

Good job, onerous task do-ers!

I paid off not two, but three (Ha ha ha! - The Count) past due bills. One online (a most unfair parking ticket), one via Venmo (therapist) and one via check with envelope and stamp like some primitive being who only had financial instruments from the 19th century.

I ran this morning, and then did a couple long-walk errands and have 15,759 steps for the day (so far).

On top of the task doing, I'm feeling fairly sore but productive. I've punted the item pick-up to tomorrow, but I should be able to do one of the cooking projects tonight.

Self care: I poured a tall glass of cold fizzy water and drank from it every time I entered the kitchen, which definitely increased my hydration for the day. Also, I took all my supplements.

I have a doctor appointment Friday, a skincare appointment on Sunday, and a hair appointment on Monday. The hair appointment is with a stylist I have only been to twice before. The first time was probably 10 years ago, and the other time was maybe 7 years ago. But she's super nice and interesting and I've kept her in the back of my mind, so I'm excited that she called me back and booked me.

I will just be over here making inarticulate noises at the Harvey Ellis jewelry box. Which I do not need! But it's pretty.

-t. I don't think you'll be disappointed in the boons.

Happiest of Birthdays to Pix and Maria.

I need to go throw a load of laundry in the washer . That is going to be my only onerous task.

Laura, I'm pretty sure I went to 2 F2Fs, on in LA and the other in Chicago. Probably early to mid oughts.

I can’t remember if I already said it, but welcome back Cabil!

Hopefully ltc will be going back to school tomorrow, but they’ve already announced a two hour delay.

I’m irrationally angry that we just chose a book for bookclub that is not available except through amazon/audible in audiobook form. I hates them.

That’s rationally angry these days.

Which book, msbelle?

Happy Birthday to Pix and Maria.

Thanks sj.

Your quote reminds of something. In MD, there is a cozy mystery convention called Malice Domestic that I have helped staff at for the last couple of years. Since it all about the cozy, there is, yes, an afternoon tea. With the little cucumber sandwiches and everything!
