Onerous Task Day: Wednesday, December 8th.
I am hoping that my onerous task for that day will be getting out of bed and lying on the beach!!
Dawn: I think a date should be in a real fancy restaurant, then champagne at a night club with a floor show, then ballroom dancing. Joyce: Unfortunately, we're not dating in a movie from the thirties.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
It still uses electricity to amplify the sound. And to control the speed of the steam engine.

Dec 8th is a holiday at my Uni. Hurrah for random (to me) days off!

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Got lucky in that my brother was in the mood to help me get my bike to the shop up in Pasadena. The flat seems to have been from the Mr. Tuffy liner. That's our best guess, anyway. The hole was *right* where the tube had a seam. Bike shop suggested that if I really wanted to avoid flats I should upgrade to a Schwalbe Marathon. The cost to do that is about 12 times what merely fixing the flat would be. OTOH, constantly having to hassle with punctures or having a flat happen while I'm in the middle of nowhere would be disastrous for me so I'm ponying up. At least I can do it now. I think if I were to wait on it, putting it off for a time where I may finally be living by myself again, I might not have room in the budget. So better to do it now.
ETA: It's a good thing I bought an LA County Bike Coalition membership. They have an LACBC discount at this shop and this is a prime example of when that comes in handy. The discount is 10% off parts.
It's another gorgeous day. Purple mountain majesties - we haz them.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
Thank goodness for Nilly's news, because today has been a suckfest otherwise. Not for any particular reason, but... blergh.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am not Catholic. Why did I know that's the Feast of the Immaculate Conception???

I was raised Catholic and I totally forgot about it. OTOH, I know that Dec 7 is the anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor...
