Went to sleep ~10:30, alarm didn't wake me but I was up minutes after 7 to make first coffee. Pumpernickel muffin w/goat chz. Updated accounts register, added weekly gas to projection. If we spend $50/ea per week on groceries then maybe the $25 weekly gas expense entries need to be more like $75 gas+grocery. Last night Miss Cupcake reports I was snore-free except for ONE loud snort, which startled her awake and she screamed, which startled me awake in turn, and I was like "WTH u scayrd meh" and promptly...

Knisely "Lent isn't rocket science" reading day 2 start dinner at 2... realized shortly before 1 that I would never get the things done that I intended before 2, so I started immediately. Slow-cookery stuff disrupted my vision of my "me" day, if I'd thought it through beforehand I probably would have deferred this recipe to the weekend. gas: 320.1 mi/11.646 gal = 27.5mpg oil change: deferred, Sears Auto Ctr is always hours of waiting without an appt deliver St Anne EC Sun matls. So jealous of that boar... (...more)

Coffee, everything bagel toasted w/goat chz, plus a mango protein shake en commute. I thought about popping a 200mg caffeine tablet but the phrase "legal speed" kept going through my mind and I left it alone.

Healthcare and rent paid. Shuffled some savings back to checking for cashflow. Got ashes imposed at the worksite church's noon service with our ExecDir.
New AdvCap event, "live Rich and Profit".
Last of split pea soup, and by extension Xmas ham, leftovers for lunch.

Went to turn on the car stereo this morning to discover my last speaker (driver side door) has lost contact. I don't often hear new music that really grabs me. When I started listening to Q104.3 The Shark, Elle King's "Exes and Ohs" was pop, alongside Nate Rateliffe and the Night Sweats "SOB" and George Ezra's "Budapest". My current earworm is Silversun Pickups "Nightlight". The radio version weighs in around 4:55. The full Youtube treatment is a 7:46 mini-movie framed by spoken-word narrative, credits, th...

Saturday we had planned to check out the Lake Worth street painting festival, and make jambalaya. Both got pushed to Sunday and instead we ended up having a long afternoon nap, getting a pizza, finishing S3 of Sopranos and punctuating that milestone with a viewing of Goodfellas. I went to St. Joe's for the 9:30 service. The Gospel reading was Matthew's account of the Transfiguration, although "Transfiguration Sunday" (The Feast of the Transfiguration) is not until August 5. Wandered over to coffee hour ... (...more)
