Coffee and a pumpernickel muffin with goat cheese for breakfast. The boss called at 8:30ish to change our staff meeting to teleconference due to 2/3 the staff being ill, and the expectations change in that situation so I feel like I got some much-needed breathing room. Gassed up the car at the cheap Speedway on Commercial (2.28/gal; 271.4mi/10.804gal = 25.12 mpg) and still got to work closer to on-time than the past couple days. Turns out I could have saved a penny per gallon at the 7-eleven U-Gas by the P... (...more)

used car financing?

Yesterday I took out a Bolthouse Farms coffee 30g protein syrupy smoothie and forgot it on the counter as I was actually leaving the apt. So Miss C put it back in the fridge when she got home, and this morning I gave it a shake and a sniff and it seemed OK so I drank it. Then I bought a 7-eleven smoked turkey sammich (18g) on my way to work along with coffee and Nutter Butters and a Powerball tix.

Yesterday afternoon I was feeling unsettled and peevish, so I did what I sometimes feel driven to do when I feel unsettled - organize, repair, decommission/recommission. Emptied and stowed the brushed nickel wire basket that had been parked in the corner of the bedroom. Updated and decrufted my Dragon Touch tablet in case Miss Cupcake ever takes me up on my offer to repurpose it as a kitchen aid. Sometime last week when I got home from work, I had kicked off one sneaker a little too vigorously and left a s... (...more)

Into S3 in our Sopranos jag. Tony Soprano was born August 1959, making him and Carmela just 40 when the series kicked off in 1999. A couple days ago Miss C. observed I don't blog about our relationship, in contrast with previous relationships e.g. L.- or Gamer Girl. Mostly this is just a matter of etiquette - let the Dan Savages and Cara Sutras air intimate details en blogue, and indeed kudos to them for their courageous candor about their intimate lives, to reflect some light into our own. But even tho... (...more)

Miss C. made breakfast, I fixed her computer, the SpaceX Falcon 9 launch was aborted. Disabled all the Windows Task Manager prompts and preps. My laptop use has fallen way off and it just doesn't make sense to expect it to prompt me to task. I don't really trust my phone and Google Calendar to replace it though. Plugged in the USB drive and ran a backup, and updated my cloud backup repo. Visited the post office. Updated accounts register. * * * To do: gather 2016 tax docs from banks... (...more)
