In which I can’t fucking cook AT ALL anymore?! Yesterday, I hurt my back walking across my kitchen. Just walking. (After doing several other things, chores, window cleaning, and dropping something and startling so hard I somehow actually caught it: that was probably when the twinge really began. But we’ll say I was walking. Because […]
In which I realized yesterday that I’ll be 60 in five years. On Wednesday mornings, I attend a 2-hour class, via Zoom, for ACS CCP exam prep. Right now we’re covering milk, specifically acidulants used in cheesemaking, and even more specifically the difference between acids like lemon juice and acidity caused by the addition of […]
in which i stayed an hour late tonight because of reasons there’s new staff at the creamery (we lost five people in a single week a couple months ago) and they tend to leave their shit all over the work benches even when they’re not using them “shit” in this context is buckets, scissors, slicers, […]
in which i rage a little you have no idea how much time and intention i put into overcoming that shitty “everyone is stupid” attitude smart people often fall prey to and which turns them into assholes, only to end up in this timeline where a third of the population is demonstrably, irrefutably stupid i […]
in which there’s a complaint being old sucks because everything hurts all the goddamned time for no reason and i get uglier day by day but at least there’s rampant government and corporate corruption, grift, a global pandemic, and the climate to make me feel worse! racists, anti-vaxxers, MAGAts (i cannot imagine finding the former […]
In which I need. I need to quit being so old and fat. Because it’s constantly uncomfortable. Jeez. The joints, the ankles, the ugh. However, problem is, I dislike diet and exercise a great deal and also time appears, in this plane, to be linear, so apparently I’m fucked. Such a pain. A pain in […]
In which there is an anniversary. Two fucking decades ago, on the 9th of March, I registered this domain name. I was working as an engineering assistant at a small ISP in rural Iowa and since part of my job was second and third-tier technical support, I was encouraged to learn HTML. So I did. […]
In which there’s an update. Yawn. I’ve been watching Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Disenchantment lately. Fun TV. Today in cooking, I packed chili, a baked potato, and sour cream and cheddar into a bento for lunch. Turned some beans leftover from making the chili into refried beans, and made Taco Bell-style red sauce, and put […]
In which I’m currently quarantined. This entire post is tl;dr but I’m going to write it anyway because I’ve got nothing but time for the next 3 to 7 days. Wednesday I woke up, felt fine, got dressed, packed up my stuff, and was making a sandwich to take to work when I had that […]
In which there’s an item of furniture. Bought a coffee table. (Also bought a couch, to replace the air bed we’ve been using as a couch, but it’s not here yet.) Coffee table! It weighs a ton and reeks of finish, but I love it! Was expecting something much flimsier, but this guy’s solid as […]
