Also, found an apartment I liked. Close to the house as well. Need to run some numbers but think I am going to fill out an application.
I honestly donât know how I feel. I need to leave that house to start to heal. On the other hand things just got really real.

It be a Speciesist insult.
Da lower forms of sentient life canât understand de more primal, dat is more purer, expressions of emotions.
Thus de Elfin, Human, and even sometimes Orc folk, et al, mock what day canât understand, to make dem feel âsuperiorâ to der bettors. We be understandinâ and be cuttinâ dem slack.
It be ok, don worry 'bout it too much. We be forgiven der ignorance.

Ugh, yesterday I found a package dropped off by the post office, it was something I sent to New Zealand and it never made it out of the states. Note was âNo Customs formâ. Iâm out $50 and have to correct the issue and send it again. I might have to spend extra for tracking.
Good news is my nephew has an interview today for a job. Looks like he got off dead center, which is really good. Now he has to learn money management.

No, It wasnât me that won the billion dollar lottery. The Krogerâs that sold the ticket is about two miles from me and I shop there a lot. So close and yet so far. Sigh.

I kept saying I was gonna, but I never actually got around to buying tickets. Itâs for the best, though⌠the instant wealth would go to my head, and I would be insufferable.

I wish it were me. I have it well documented that she does not want to be with me anymore. It would have been so bloody delicious and beautiful haha

My coffee cup works too well. I have an insulated cup with a lid that keeps my coffee so hot, I can still only barely sip it 2 hours after I poured it.
I want to make lasagna, so I went to the store yesterday. Got everything but ricotta. Went to another store to check, they didnât have it, either. Third times a charm? Nope. So⌠no lasagna for now. 
Make it with cottage cheese instead
I need to be at work in a little over 2 hours. I donât want to be at work in a little over 2 hours.
Slept good and hard last night though. It was needed badly. Still tired, but nowhere near what I was yesterday. Not even close.

Cottage cheese isnât quite the same, but Iâve used it in the past and it does work.
Made lasagna last week, no problem getting all the cheeses here.
Made two, one was two meals for us the second is in the deep freeze.
Iâve gotten into the odd habit of replacing the center layer of pasta with a layer of very thin sliced eggplant (aubergine to those using British nomenclature). Peel then slice the eggplant thin (about 1/4 inch â 6 or 7 mm) on the mandoline, salt and press it so it wonât juice too much while baking, then use it to replace the center layer of noodles.
(not everybody likes eggplant, but we both do)

Iâve always preferred nomenclature over the vernacular.

The Ember Mug?
I keep meaning to grab one for myself one day, maybe next year. In addition to grabbing a travel mug by them for mom.
I absolutely agree with you in a wibbly wobbly way.

I donât know why the British and Irish have adopted the French name for eggplant, some places call it brinjal (does anybody in the deep south still call it guinea squash?).
Nobody calls it Solanum Melongena unless theyâre actually in a botany class.
I could be wrong, but I believe âeggplantâ predates the later adoption of the French âaubergineâ in English.
Most likely proximity. âEggplantâ was more North American.
The name eggplant does predate the American revolution, but I can see how that could happen.
Iâm old enough to remember when cilantro was still always coriander where I lived.
The Spanish name for the herb became more common as the popularity of Mexican food moved north and east.
My wife was born in the city where potato chips were invented, but when they got to Britten the English already had something called chips, so they became crisps.
