House smells fantastic. Pressure cooking boneless country style pork ribs in an apple cider vinegar solution with pumpkin pie spice and chili powder.
One thing I like about VMs is that when I screw up something complicated, I can just destroy the whole machine and start again. I’m into like my 5th iteration of this Oracle box now.
Yay! My Oracle install download just finished ten minutes before end of shift. That’s what I call service.
Later, I will not remember who I sent cards to. So I just now took pictures of the outgoing envelopes now. How different life is now with wee computer camera thingers. Er, “phones”.
I’m renewing my commitment to stay home. I have a curbside pickup to make at Lowe’s, but otherwise it’s about Instacart and similar. I only need to leave the house to get building supplies out of storage. No humans.
Grrrr, I hate that I only think of micro.blog when I’m mad at FB. RN it’s that I have over 600 friends and belong to at least 100 groups but it shows the same few posts over and over. Also lagged by days.
The dogs are so confused that I’m eating acorns. It’s almost as funny as when the cat watches me eat sugar snap peas.
These live oak acorns are so mild, I can snack on them all day.
I wonder if my ex thinks of me whenever Stacey Abrams gets a mention. I used to be Stacy Abrams.
Pro tip: make a ditty bag out of a thrift store tablecloth so that your laundry makes your surroundings “bohemian” instead of “slovenly”.
Is it wrong to do Zumba in yoga pants? Is there a fine involved?
My local acorns are tasty. I did not taste any grubs today. Not sure I’m ready for that.
Most acorns are bitter, because tannins. Must soak several times over several days to unyuck them. Some are low tannin, eat them right there. These local are the second kind.
Today, I learned things about acorns. Turns out these are live oak trees all over this RV park. Sometimes acorns contain edible meat. Sometimes edible grubs. Sometimes inedible mold.
Tremendously enjoying my new desk. So sturdy! So many drawers. Lots of things are finally stored away now. The plastic bins will go back under the bed once the sewing is complete.
I guess everybody else is trying to recover from quarantine hair too. The soonest I could get an appointment was for the 30th. How am I going to endure this hair until then?!?!

I keep tweaking up my home. Got the metal quail long before there ever was a house. The t-shirt pillow covers and curtains are the most recent.
Online community, for me, means I’m always in the neighborhood. Love that.
Ooooh the next door neighbors are grilling BBQ chicken. Gonna show up with my plate. Y/N?
Found great old shower curtain hooks at the thrift store. They fit the theme.
My house randomly farts the scent of cedar and I’m loving it.
Ok, to be fair, it’s not farting, but it’s funnier that way.
I just love the randomness of it. Although I figure it means the primer on the back of my paneling is probably breaking down.
Uh oh. Zumba time. The floor is not safe.
“Mom, what the heckin’ heck?”
Grounds keepers coming around.
Emmy peed just in front of the litter box yesterday. Day before, she both peed and pooped in front of the door. I had already cleaned out the litter box and I’ve been letting her outside - her first preference - but it’s not helping lately.
