Our wings are not tired.

Ha! As the first day of my Lent dealio I am not drinking wine. My sleep has been crap of late and I know wine is responsible, or at least I sleep well when I don't have a drink. So despite not having any Catholic inclinations I am abstaining. My cousin left me well-supplied with pot, which improves my sleep score. I am a lightweight so just a bit before bed.

An abundance of health~ma sent to askye and M.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I’m avoiding the news and world by logging a backlog of movies I’ve watched into letterboxd. Im trying to retroactively rate things also. It’s weird when I do not even remember watching a movie from an Oscar’s list.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Yoga was very chill. I'm definitely going to go back next week.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I forgot it was Ash Wednesday until I was watching some NBA commentary and the woman speaking had the weirdest, wispiest bangs. Until the camera moved in on her and I realized they weren't bangs.

Thanks to Laura's low carb bread endorsement I two eggs in a basket for breakfast. And then didn't eat until just now when I made an oven roasted hash of what was in the crisper (zukes, broccoli, red bell, mushrooms...), and had that with a delicious Bi-Rite crab cake, and one sunnyside up egg.

Very protein, demure and mindful.

I did the onerous tasks yesterday when I cleaned the Guinea Pig cage (overdue!) and got a check in the mail that was also getting overdue. I rallied last night to make a social engagement I was waffling on (and it was nice), and I've made a bunch of appointments for the next few weeks.

There's some mail I need to open and look at tomorrow but I don't really want to. I will though. And do the difficult, onerous call.

Hahah that was me, though I believe Brenda concurred.

Ha! I almost added, "or was it meara?"

Parking for yoga requires flexibility.

I see what you did there... heh.

Dinner was yum and fun, and now I must sleep.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Hil- I am sort of 100% that I have ADHD, but these medication shortages have me not want to even try.

I've been on these meds since high school, and I've never seen anything like this.

Yay for chill yoga! I have an option of free yoga at a couple of local gyms with my Silver Sneakers membership. I like it when I go, but it reminds me of the days when I was actually good at it. I have a gym in the building. A beach across the street. Pools. Several free to me gyms. And yet! During the summer my sister is my gym buddy, but I need to find one locally. I clearly won't do this on my own anymore.

Well done with the onerous tasks and culinary accomplishments, Hec! Sending continued getitdone~ma today.

Thank you! I'm up early and have already eaten my half mug of oat bran and First Coffee, and I'll be out the door soon for an early run on a clear, crisp sunny morning.

Then a mix of onerosity and fun stuff.

UnFun: Going to FedEx to scan docs, make homeowners insurance call.

Fun: Manicure, socializing later at Alembic.

Neutral: Vacuuming. Making a frittata.

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

I need to make this comment somewhere, so y'all get it. This Target "fast" thing that seems to be getting news coverage - I was on the Q4 earnings call a couple of days ago and one of the things they mentioned was that while Feb was soft they had record sales for Valentine's Day so they expected a strong Easter. If a lot of people do boycott for all of Lent that is definitely going to impact that.


meara - Mar 06, 2025 8:45:27 am PST #5927 of 7017

Hah a boycott only does so good if you just save up all the buying and money and spend it all at Easter there! I hadn’t heard of a Lenten boycott (just the general one)
