Oh, wait, I just saw the lyrics: there's a reference to going to Red Lobster in the song. Yay, I answered my own question.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

I was trying to do my taxes but the turbotax site quit responding and Wells Fargo doesn't want to give me a 1099INT (though I think I can get that from statements.)
I marketed, haircuted, shopped, swam, replaced the dryer hose, doing laundry. More shopping tomorrow, more laundry, hopefully painting and dropping shit off at BARCS.

I know shrift and Kat and others probably do that most days, but it is a lot for me, especially since the PF started.
Before I moved, that was a usual day for me. Now I struggle to hit 10,000 steps during the week because of my commute.

Ok, making progress. But I gotta call WF. I think I need that 1099. And holy crap, even doing minimum amounts, donating 134 items of clothing adds up!

I walk fewer steps than you'd think. But I don't fitbit anymore for the most part. I use a misfit that counts different stuff now.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I'm sitting in my office listening to one show on the monitor in the hall and another on the monitor in my office, plus clear-com. One show just hit intermission and the other (which started 1.5 hrs earlier) is nearing it's 2nd intermission (of 3). It's a glamorous life.

Belated, forgotten pro tip: don't go to Trader Joes the day before the Super Bowl. I saw the lines, thought WTF, but didn't clue in until listening to the convos in line and surveying carts(not my regular TJs.) OTOH, they were running freebie contests (handing out #s and whenever a kid was at checkout, they spun a wheel) and I won! Got an extra tub of the almond biscotti (you got to pick.)
But holy jesus, last time I ran into lines like that was the first week of the Pikesville opening.

We went today and it was actually okay. It was busy, but no worse than a regular Saturday. Possibly because we went around 5, so maybe it's not as bad as dinnertime approaches.

The Columbia location is definitely worse than my usual(I only go there on haircut days) but this was a shitshow. I was lucky to get in line when it was only halfway across the store; when I hit checkout, all were to the back.

So, like, if I went to TJ's during the Super Bowl...
