Winding down for the night. I made delicious hot chocolate which I sipped before starting the bed time ritual for the dogs, cats, and bird. May everyone have a great day/evening.

I made a pile of "things that have cords and can't go in the dumpster" which included several of those had saws with round blades, every single blade rusted and my dad, who is the son of a hoarder, only asked to keep one of them. He's 91. If he wants to keep one, that is OK. But not all of them. But corded items are a separate dump experience.

Tuckered out from putting garbage in the dumpster. So much . . . stuff. I have been forged in the fire of "surely we'll fix this . . . whatever . . . one day." You shoulda seen me. "WTF is this unopened thing from 2002? Who cares? Off to the dumpster with you!"

I mean a joke post used to be pretty obvious, but nowadays people really are that stupid so . . .

Surely, the tweet from this post is a joke.

It's raining hard here. Yay!

Greeting from NorCal. It is dark. I have coffee and I need a sweater. It's cold in the house this morning. Have a great day everyone!

I'm good with the conclusion of Iron Chef Mexico. In a surprise twist, I understood Chef Ruano when he asked for more ice, a word I learned just two days ago!

Waiting to find out who wins Iron Chef Mexico… the judge flirting with el presidente was adorable.

I’m ready to move on from conversation about the bird app. It’s over.

It is very foggy here and currently getting foggier. Can barely see the trees across the field.

Just got aggressive with some spam nonsense. gmail now blocked by default and two IP addressed blocked.

So happy that Britney Griner is home. May they soon succeeded in bringing home Whelan.

Greetings from NorCal. It's 38F and dark. Today's tea is Tiger in the Mists pu-erh. It's pretty good. Will report back if I become striped or feel like hanging out in the fog.

Greetings from NorCal where it's 37F and dark. Today's tea is a new one to me and it is fantastic. Snowflake Gui Hua Osmanthus Winter Harvest Dan Long Oolong tea.

Starting the day with the great news about Britney Griner coming home! We can celebrate her release without implying she shouldn't be released until Whelan is. FFS what is wrong with people?

Greetings from NorCal where is it dark, damp, and 34F. I have saffron tea.
