You may address me as Sir El Spotto, as befits my status as a Knight of the Sovereign Military Order of Sealand (OMS), or you can just call me El Spotto. It ain’t that big a deal.

Told my stepdad I must have forgotten the inexpensive red wine so I wasn’t making mulled wine while he was here.
Opened the trunk to put groceries in and…box of red wine. It survived several freezing nights since I bought it the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. 😂🤣

This makes total sense. It’s like putting a piece of clear tape on frosted glass and being able to see through it.
Which is a thing, by the way. It’s why frosted glass is only frosted on the inside.

Yes sleep tracker, I know I need a nap. First you yell at me for not dreaming. Then when a crap dream wakes me up at 4:40am you tell me I should sleep more.
Can we just do sleep without REM? Then I could maybe make it through the night. Or the world could become a better place. Either one.

Crap crap crap. Netflix now owns movies like Casablanca and Citizen Kane.

Don’t care that dinner had no protein. Teriyaki (kinda) cauliflower rice. Fresh ginger and garlic, “yuzu juice powder”, Hughes Japanese bbq sauce (which tastes like teriyaki) and a splash of lime ponzu. Mix in a little shichimi seasoning, heat it all up on a wok, eat.

HOLIDAY MARKET!!!
Grabbed some soaps, a handmade mug, and a Kantha throw (which is totally not locally made but I don’t care). Oh and my usual farmers market haul. A couple sketti squash for dinners this week are the stars.

Hey, remember when I said pizza sounded good for dinner? I’m not having pizza I’m having breakfast. Frying up some bacon, crisping the last portion of roasted sweet potatoes in the fat, and frying up a couple over medium eggs.
Gonna be so good.

Now, we get to ‘Vixen.’
‘Vixen’ is a noun and has 3 senses:
1. a female fox
2. a shrewish, ill-tempered woman
3. a sexually attractive woman
Ummm, what’s going on here, Santa?

When you’re heading south out of Charlotte and think you’ve finally cleared Charlotte traffic so you stop for a drink and to top off the gas at the QT? Yeah this is down the road a piece and there are probably more people in the QT. 😁
