I’m glad you’re able to have food for food again, erikaj. GI problems can be miserable.
I realized I was debating ancient food ways and inequity with an anarchist on tumblr. And I said out loud, “Jesus, I need to get a job.”
Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

I am spending my Saturday flying to Frankfurt for a work conference (sadly, I was NOT invited to attend Frankfurt Book Fair) but since my flight lands at 8:30 Sunday morning, I booked myself a Rhine Valley tour day trip to keep me awake and beat the jet lag. Wish me scenery and good wine!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Misread anarchist as antichrist and did a nod and "you go." Well I guess that works for both.
ETA: in our misspent yout' we camped up the Rhine to Holland and loved every lumpy night and day of it. Have wonderful views and whatever food's available, Jess.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
keep me awake and beat the jet lag
Scenery might help with that. Good wine might not.

Ooh, Jess, bon voyage (I assume that implicitly includes the requested good tour wishes)!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all.
Tomorrow evening we fly up to CT for the funeral.(My dad's family is buried there, so my mom joins them.) Fly back Monday night. Then we fly down to FL Wed night. The memorial service is Thursday morning. Gary flies back Friday afternoon so he can have Mr. S for the weekend. I'm staying until Sunday.

I love runny eggs. They are great on avocado toast.
today I took the dog for a 6-mile walk in the park (she got probably 8 miles), and then I just faffed about the house, but eventually I took the Tornado out and we did some training, and then I picked up some takeout and went to dinner at a friend's house, and drank far too much wine.
Now watching Trevor Noah and thinking about all the books I want to read.
At least I have Monday off -- but I will probably do some work.

That sounds really nice Suela! I am at a dance convention (thus wide awake at 3:30am with aching feet, about to try to sleep). Throws my whole sleep schedule off (and I don’t have Monday off) but so worth it.
