Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I chose to step back from the news and reduce my social media consumption for a few days, which led to me completely forgetting about the debate last night. Glad Warren did well.

Wondering whether rum might help.

I'd say it can't hurt, but we all know that's a lie. I hope you feel better soon, -t.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

Don't throw stones into explosive suburban mud pool, expert warns.

People who live with mud pools shouldn't throw stones? Not quite as catchy I think, but...

I woke up at 430am and only sort of slept for the next couple hours. Dislike. Can't even blame that one on the sunrise.

That which does not kill you should RUN

Why are apples so freaking inconsistent? I get great apples at a store, go back a few days later and get the exact same ones, and they're just blah.

I feel so betrayed by mealy peaches.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I don't even try peaches anymore. When we lived in Washington, maybe.

I had a big farmer's market peach for breakfast today. It was at that perfect liquid-y-ripe-but-not-spoiled stage.

So far the peaches I've eaten have been fantastic. But there's always a mealy one just lurking.

Our wings are not tired.

Granny Smith apples seem a safer bet for me and rarely disappoint. Peaches I avoid until I see someone else take a bite and exclaim their joy. The percentages are just too low.

I'm sorry, Sheryl. You must be so exhausted. How is G handling it all?

Last brag, I swear. The A1c numbers came in today and that is 5.2, which is rocking. So, sticking with the plan. It took quite a lot of trial and error, but feel like we have a handle on it now.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I can only get peaches from the Farmers Market because they spoiled me for other peaches. I can usually get good apples at Whole Paycheck. I'm always buying fruit because it is the one thing I know ltc will always eat.

Mr S and ltc are almost the same exact age. ltc was awful for her grandparents today. I think she was better after I went in my room and shit the door. Apparently, I was being rude to her.
