I had about a cup of ricotta left over after making a baked pasta last weekend, and whisked it into the eggs and cream for an onion and potato quiche this morning - this might be the best quiche I have ever made.

The Last Frontier is the weirdest-paced show I have watched in a long time. What even is this finale? How is there still fifteen minutes left?

I love places that send a "What did you think?" email only a week after your package is delivered. Buddy, I haven't even unpacked the box yet, much less gotten around to trying whatever out.

Trying to find out if the business my workplace rented a dot matrix printer from fourteen years ago is even still operational, in an attempt to sort out if we need to return the printer. 😆 Not having any luck so far, but I guess I'm doing my due diligence.

Hulu how dare you take down my emotional support 30 Rock in bleak winter when I need it the most?
(Yes it's on Amazon Prime now but I am not watching commercials like some peasant. And I refuse to pay Amazon a monthly ad-free fee.)

My now-bad hip hurt so much last night every time I laid down that for a few minutes I thought about going to the ER (as urgent care isn't open at midnight) but after another hour & a couple Aleve PMs I managed to find a position I could fall asleep in. Blergh.

Annual Thanksgiving conversation of "What do you want to do on Christmas?" - my dad suggested we do only desserts. I was not opposed but suggested also some appetizers (cheese and crackers, maybe some French onion dip). Clearly neither of us have interest in cooking. 😆

Local grocery store website wouldn't let me make an account so I ordered T-giving dinner from a further away store, only to discover upon arriving there tonight that I'd actually ordered from a branch even FURTHER away.
Honestly, I hate Thanksgiving.

Unpleasant neurologist who dropped me as a patient a few years ago also randomly renewed my handicap placard last month, according to the paperwork and new placard that was in my mailbox last night. Um what? But okay!

I can't decide if Down Cemetery Road is just bad, or if it only looks bad next to Slow Horses. It is moving so slowly that I cannot bring myself to care about what the conspiracy seems to be shaping towards.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX
