Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I’m not even sure how I got from plan A to plan C to plan 11.
Tim calls this the "but-firsts": "I'm going to move the coat rack but first I need to run the dishwasher. [runs dishwasher] Okay, next the coat rack, but first I'll take out the trash. [takes out trash, notices flowers] Okay, for sure the coat rack next, but first I'll plant these flowers since I'm out here already."
I am so familiar with that type of productivity.
And now I am going to finish editing this article, BUT FIRST I am going to take a nap before I fall asleep at the keyboard. (Seriously, my eyelids are drooping and my head is starting to nod. This is one of those days I'm glad I WFH.)
Tim calls this the "but-firsts"
Yeah. I am having more and more trouble with this habit. To the point where I take a few steps towards the "but first" task, get distracted, and forget both tasks.
Most lemonade is too sweet for me.
This is why if I want something in a restaurant that isn't water or wine, and the place has unsweetened tea, I order a half & half. (Sorry, but in New England this has always been called thus and I refuse to call it an Arnold Palmer.) The blend results in the perfect sweetness level.
I avoid all artificial and "natural" sweeteners like stevia and monk fruit because products with them always taste sickly sweet to me. I hate that it is almost impossible to get protein powder without them. Like, if I'm putting protein powder in a smoothie or oatmeal or something, I can easily put other sweet things in there if I want to. I don't need the powder itself to be sweet.
ETA: I always forget the asterisk turns into a bullet.
Last night, I was on a CodePink webinar with a Jacqueline from San Francisco, and for a moment, it was very hard not to run over and start...Idk, start spouting fannish nonsense at her. Even though there might be hundreds of Jacquelines in the region, and we only back-channelled and stuff--say, quarterly and we usually approached lefty things from different angles--and I don't mean porn-- but it wasn't completely wrong to think that was a thing she might have come to...still glad I didn't really do that. It might have been a lot to explain.
