Top ramen and spam tonight in case you thought I was fronting bougie.

Our 24th wedding anniversary is coming up.

Instead of linen or bronze, it's "Aw, fuck it."

Just kidding.

She gets an XBOX Elite Series 2 controller.

Oh, and I scored reservations Saturday night to one of the best steak houses in Phoenix. 😀 ✅ 😎

I'm getting love letters from all over the country. Iowa now?

This is the dark side to being an "oligarch" or member of the "donor class"... feeling like the only customer at a strip club. 😂

Thank you to those reporting on the #DNC.

To me, this is current events, not politics

I just renewed my Arizona Medical Marijuana card.

Cannabis has helped me avoid alcohol, lose weight and tolerate other people's bullshit.

Cannabis helped me see truth of the GOP.

Cannabis helps me feel physically as am anti inflammatory for my autoimmune disease.

I'm not a pothead, but yeah...I love cannabis. And the people who love cannabis.

#JamesTaylor cool.

Who did they have at the RNC?

Chachi?

Listening to the Workday Jazz playlist on Spotify during work is a bit tranquilizing.

Feeling peaceful, and weirdly waiting for the waiter to bring me a cocktail.

I'm getting everything I've wanted done with the house, DONE.

From appliance upgrades, to consolidating to AIO washer/dryer to the remodels to the garage refresh....the house will look very different from when we bought it.

It will be a different house. It should be closer to neighborhood standards.

I'm stoked.

I've ordered overhead garage storage, to be installed on Friday. Then our son and I will move everything off the garage floors so they can be stripped and re-epoxied.

I have Andersen Windows coming for a quote to replace the front doors. That'll be two quotes.

And really, these two last things done mean I'm DONE!

Weeks, not months.

Instead of new doors I may just go with door rehab.

I'm now looking at a garage refresh including new epoxy. I will probably do paint but not cabinets.

I'm getting stalked by Gretchen, yet no photos of her.

Not going to donate yet. 😂

I finally decided to try it and score.

On background all day no problem.

Let's talk in two weeks. 😂

@Alfred write a pop song for 120 bpm centered around a lover's quest to be validated. The title is "Send Me A Push" and that should be repeated in the chorus.

The master bath area has been demolitioned.

It is now a blank canvas for what comes next this week.

Within 10 days, the house will have been mostly made over in three years of ownership.

There was a moment last week when the sub was arguing with the general contractor. The sub said, "no, in houses this expensive, I'm going to take my time to everything right."

Huh.

I talk a lot about successful operations because they are both routine and terrifying at the same time.

"You crashed a 747." I heard long ago. I imagine a pilot must feel that way. Not like, "yay, I flew."

More like, "yay, nothing went wrong."

Still, I'm of the age where I should be air traffic control.

I have the utmost respect for those real air traffic control, pilots, doctors and yes cops...who do their jobs day in and out and can never make a mistake.

I didn't crash a 747 #DramaQueens

Yesterday, I celebrated my great weight and successful morning op with chili, corn chips and beer.

I took a healthy protein break of salmon and veges for dinner, but folllowed that with my typical flax serial for dessert.

Ever since, I've been farting horribly. It's never pleasant but the gas was coming out of me like a broken gas main.

I constantly apologized to my wife all night.

She tried to escape the line of fire, but ultimately I fell asleep alone.

With my gas.

Good morning, afternoon or evening wherever you're at #CounterSocialites!
