I like sudoku when I have time for it but I don't feel bad about skipping it. I'm surprised how much I like Strands. Never thought I was into word searches, but it's very satisfying

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Banana splits and someone else is providing the ice cream?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I play sudoku all the time on my phone. I even tell myself from time to time "You have been conned into DOING MATH! This is not a game; it is sneaky math!" and yet I keep on playing it like it's my second job.

I mean, most games could be described as sneaky math if you get into it

Our wings are not tired.
I do the Microsoft Sudoku. Level 920 at this point. I just do the daily challenge stuff.
Avoiding the news. The part that upsets me the most is that the changes won't go into effect until after the midterm elections and the uninformed idiots won't know what is about to hit them until after they vote their deplorable representatives back into office again.

Punishingly Intricate
My grandparents owned a dairy where they delivered milk and made ice cream. My grandfather used to buy bunches of bananas at a time for splits but he’d tell the people at the store that they were for the chimps at the (nearby) DuPont experimental station.

That’s some classic grandfather shenanigans right there

Omg I’m camping this weekend for this dance event in the woods. Made a list, overpacked like crazy, drove 2.5 hours to get here…realized I have my tent but the tent POLES are at home in my garage.
Thankfully someone has an extra tent and someone else is stopping at my garage and bringing the poles tomorrow. But omg

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Oh goodness. Glad others were overstocked. I’m hoping to get some camping in this summer.
I did get a cute new haircut today. And a friend brought by some fresh St-Viateur bagels direct from Montreal.
