I’ve got a little container of it from the produce section on my kitchen floor for Monkey at the moment. (He still seems to prefer chewing on my ponytail palm.) Between that, and all the brown rice and flax seeds I buy for the ratties, anyone behind me in line at the grocery store would think I eat all healthy and shit. (_Narrator:_ “She does not.”) > [@LSLGuy](#): > > Is there any point in having a pre-shift group yak about lessons learned with the P.O.S. POS? Kinda like stone soup, if everybody learned one clue and shares it with everyone, the crew will get better faster We’ve actually been doing that kinda “on the fly” as we go along. (“Hey, neat, how’d you do X?” type of thing, and lots of, “You guys may already know this, but I just figured out that Y and Z” have been called out.) Friday was a real pisser, and I think that’s why I kinda melted down later, but a lot of the learning curve has already smoothed out. > [@JaneDoe42](#): > > Between **his games and fucker,** I am positive that unless he has specifically addressed me, his attention is 100% not focused on me. … say what now? > [@JaneDoe42](#): > > I don’t want to sound horribly intrusive, but are your monthly cycles starting to get different? Menopause can sneak up on someone, Nah, you’re good, and I’d already considered the possibility. I’ve been on the pill for so long, I doubt shit works right anymore anyhow. Can’t do much about it, besides trying to stay out of prison. (The thought of going through hot flashes while living in Texas summers terrified me.) > [@The\_Stainless\_Steel\_Rat](#): > > a bag of peanut M&M’s in my locker would mean no peanut M&M’s very shortly. Heh, they’re actually still there. But I busted into the all-strawberry Starbursts plus a tiny box of Mike n Ike, so the cheap-o candy need was still satisfied. > [@Spice\_Weasel](#): > > it’s a lovely purple and so comfy I may never take it off. … linky, plz? > [@Paintcharge](#): > > As to me, the only thing I have said out loud today (and yesterday) is for the google dot to play NPR, and then stop several hours later. Is that your personal preference? Might help to find some excuse for brief, pleasant human interaction. Even just going out to buy a taco or something … ? * * * I’ve rounded up most of the household trash, and took the big bin - complete with sparkly, frost-decorated lid - out to the curb like a Good Girl and a Goddamn Grownup so now it’s “sittin’ on my ass” time. See y’all next go-round! ---

I’m guessing ‘his games and fucker’ might mean his computer games and Tucker Carlson (but that’s only a WAG). ---

We’re being scooted into our berth in Buenos Aires. I’m dressed, **FCD** is showering. We’ll grab a quick bite in 20 minutes or so. Up at 5AM, flight at 11:25 PM. Long-ass day ahead. Maybe I can post from the airport. Laterz! ---

> [@purplehorseshoe](#): > > Friday was a real pisser, and I think that’s why I kinda melted down later, but a lot of the learning curve has already smoothed out. Yaay for progress!! Mornin’ all. Was up at dawn and now around 9am local I’m done w lazy last breakfast here. Next steps are shevel & pack. I’m gonna squeeze at least some of the ziplining in before having to leave for the airport around 2pm. But between a couple of unreliable cab rides and the awkward timing versus hotel checkout, and the need to change clothes later, this may all become a bit more vexing than ideal. ---
