Can confirm. This was wrapped by Faine. Bless their heart…

A very poorly wrapped Christmas present.

Does that explain this?

You know you aren’t in the South when your post-op instructions suggest eating Crème of Wheat instead of grits. I’ll have the grits thank you.

I’m down a path of helping transcribe census records from 1950 for the National Archives. Being able to read cursive is a vanishing skill. Anyway it’s more interesting than it might appear.

An excellent Mother’s Day gift from @faineg.bsky.social. There is a technique I need to master on getting the right amount of ink and pressure to make my angry cat NOPE perfect.

Thoughts after my first extended trip with an home to come back to. Traveling without a home is much easier because there is nowhere calling you back. I’m back now and it feels like I never left. It was an enjoyable blip in the routine instead of part of an extended journey without an end date.

I’m chatting with the front desk of a Hilton in Guangdong and they are calling me Little Cookie (no idea why) and I love it so much. Please refer to me as Little Cookie henceforth.

A chat window that reads:
Hello little cookie.
Hello
You can chose a cheaper way to book Little Cookie.

In a just world, opening one’s Dutch door would ensure prompt delivery of pickled herring. Sadly that is not the world we live in.

#Worldbookday I’m sad to report that adding salty language did not contribute to my comprehension of this topic.

I’m so curious about the sheep and btw who is Sean Elliot?

All praise Eustace Murphy. I guess.

Subtitles of the #Olympic anthem at the opening ceremony read “path of God and praise Eustace Murphy is new champions.”

@faineg.bsky.social let me cook a whole meal all by myself the other night and this is exactly how I felt except 55ish years later. (Also check out the cool pop-out stove.)
