Is it sad that I'm looking at the Lisa Loeb glasses because I'm excited about the case? Go you and your symphony or purples!

I feel like I have to say no because it's pretty sweet, but I am not a disinterested judge

Pumpkin bread and a bunch of bacon is a perfectly cromulent breakfast, right?

I don't understand why this is even a question.

Pumpkin bread and bacon sounds like an excellent breakfast to me!! Since I just got in last night I went to the store for breakfast as I had no milk for my coffee. I have a latte and a savory scone and am idly contemplating if I want to replace my 23” screen with a giant 34” monitor like I was using at my sisters. It’s excessive but also kind of fun…

Mmm, savory scone. Y'all are making my granola bar and protein shake look pretty feeble

Phone bank went well, but sometimes I think that nothing in my life really adds up to anything..

It's a non-trivial improvement over actual nothing, erika! Just hearing that a phone bank went well keeps my morale up, on top of any election results you may have affected

Yeah, and at least it wasn't a really high-tech one so I didn't have to have everyone watch me not keeping up...I hate when that happens...sometimes I do it anyway, but not my favorite. I'm very grateful that I got to call social-media gadfly guy yesterday, even though I do know that people sometimes buy followers and stuff. Usually, I can go a long time between good local results, but it's kind of part of the role of what my state insists on calling a "precinct committeeman'(because, not only are they not hip to the more current evolutions in conceptions of gender, they are slowly catching onto the first two...not the biggest recruitment problem we have, but I wouldn't say it *isn't* one. Right?)

I cleaned the Guinea Pig cage. Woo fucking hoo!

I still need to vacuum and do dishes but the pig cage is by far the most onerous and arduous task.

I'm hanging out with my Pilates teacher tomorrow for an outing to Japantown and then a hang back at my house. I'm happy to move this relationship from parasocial to social, and also happy to be doing stuff at home, as most of my socializing is Out and About and that has made the house feel emptier.

By random confluence both of my brothers-in-law will be in town on Monday, so me, Emmett & Matilda will go out to dinner with them.

The garden apartment is already ready for guests, so I just have to put some sheets on the TV room couch for one of them.

It's a sunny, summery day in SF for Halloween. I'm about to hit up my parasocials after my post-pig shower, and that'll probably be it for the holiday for me.

I keep forgetting it's Halloween. Haven't left the house today and don't plan to. I did put on a striped shirt in a sort of vague gesture at homage towards Pugsley, maybe, but I don't have any candy (I did buy a bad of my usual Hershey's miniatures but I brought it to work. We didn't do the thing where people bring their kids to trick-or-treat in the office (last year we officially did it but I didn't see any kids, this year no mention of it) but my co-workers will be happy to have a bit of chocolate available from time to time) and I never even opened my boxes of decorations. Oh well.
