Except today! Cracked open a bottle of Moet at 2 PM because after getting laid off a few months ago, in a really shitty fashion, my sister got a job offer today for an organization that seems much healthier and at a salary that is definitely much healthier. Whoo-hoo!

Now we’re both getting our hair done and I have dinner at a hot new Cambodian restaurant tonight.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

It’s mixes and bars five times a day

I had to read that phrase 3 times before I could get it through my head that "bars" did not mean "establishments where one goes to obtain and enjoy alcoholic beverages in the company of others."

Can you believe people pay my dumb ass to edit?

Hahaha. Probably not the most eloquent way to say that, but. It’s like little mixes for things like shakes and brownies and stuff in easy bake oven quantities. Also, some oatmeal and cereals and things. Took a little getting used to, but it works. And I make judicious exceptions now, although I did not at first. I really felt like I needed a hard reset on my habits and instincts.

Yay sister of brenda!

And I initially read "mixers and bars" which was even more confusing

We are not the target market for that diet. We'd just end up drunk every day.

Brenda that’s the only other diet I ever managed to stick to and lose weight on (at least for like six months ish). It did feel easier to only have to decide on one meal a day and just eat the prepacked things the rest of the time.

Ugh. In a Lyft which turns out to be a Tesla. Second time this has happened when I didn’t notice have time to cancel and get another.

Last time the driver had to reach back to open the back doors. This time the seatbelt won’t connect. In case you were wondering about the build quality.
