I aspire to be basic, except for the pumpkin spice.

If you're not scared shitless, you're not paying attention.

First autopay with my new rent cost went through. The system is now charging a "technology fee." That means instead of a 4.02% increase, it's a 4.33% increase. Maybe I'll go back to writing checks on principle.

I stepped on a scale for the first time after vacation. That was a mistake. ☹️😞

Iowa's governor: No, the children really do yearn for the mines. "What to most Iowans looks like a sensible option for kids is being treated as a sinister plot to force children back into the sweatshops, mines and factories of the late 1800s."
Kim Reynolds: Feds should use common sense. A job is a good thing for a kid.www.desmoinesregister.com Opinion: The Labor Department and the Register should relax and realize Iowa's sensible rules are good for kids, Kim Reynolds writes in an open letter

“Thank you sir.” Streak over at 3 instances, 0 consecutive days.
Yesterday I got two ma'ams and a "the gal behind you". That makes for the most consecutive times in a while, and only day I haven't been misgendered at least once this vacation.

Why is it that the higher end the hotel the worse the breakfast and WiFi connections?

Jim Davis is from Muncie of course, but this might be the only time a location appears in the series (aside from having four seasons and WBOR indicating east of the Mississippi River).

I know I have the palate of a child. But I’m tired of the food options at these conventions being some fancy chicken dish, a wrap with stuff I don’t eat, or vegetarian, and then watching salads I don’t touch become food waste. I just want a ham sandwich on the road and hot beef for supper.

If elected, I will ban all soccer teams in the US from using names that are not plural nouns or junk like “FC” or “SC” or “United.”

Bottom: my usual alarm, in CT Above: Alarms for the next three days, in ET, spaced out only because I could skip breakfast if it’s too much. It takes me an hour to fall asleep on a good day.

Baseball cap with hair in a ponytail. T-shirt. Women's shorts. Closing in on 2000 days of hormone therapy. Hundreds of dollars of voice training. "Sir." Twice - once visually, once vocally.

Looking at next week's agenda, the Wednesday breakfast starts at 7 AM Eastern, or as my body calls it, "the middle of the night". I'm going to have to set more alarms.

Between my vacation and the holiday, I'm about to go the longest between therapy sessions since being laid off, during a period that includes the one-year anniversary of losing my dream job. I wish I could be looking forward to the vacation more.

I am reluctant to pack for my vacation next week. I think it's because for the same convention last year, 109 hours after I got back, I lost my dream job. I know there is no rational basis to dread anything, but it's like I have a pre-PTSD foreboding. That's where I am now, scared of my own shadow.

AAC Golf Tournament Chair: it’d be nice to have a sign out on the first tee encouraging people not to get overwhelmed by adversity. AAC Golf Pro (not paying attention): gotcha. Will do.

My sister is having a milestone birthday. She has disowned me for so long that this is the second milestone birthday going past. I got forwarded a picture of her and the family. It's all I get.

Story that will not make it into my article about the demolition of the school Mom went K-12 and graduated in: The math teacher often ended early for his smoke break. She was left alone with four boys, four SENIOR boys, in the advanced math class, who one day decided to have ... a farting contest.
