rejectomorphThere was an "oh look at the time" moment just now. Somehow I lost track of its passing, and had thought it long before midnight, so the hour just sort of smacked me upside the head. Except for a brief afternoon nap, I've been awake since eight o'clock Thursday evening, and I'm surprised I didn't just collapse at some point in the last few hours. I'm super tired.
So the shopping got done, somehow, but was not entirely (or very at all) successful. The proper donuts were not available, of course, because there is no god and he's a dick anyway, but I got some substitute donuts of a not very appealing kind, and a few other items I'd wanted were not available either, and of course I forgot some stuff and only realized other stuff would have been good to have after the whole thing was over.
But I did get the first mini-watermelons of the year (a BOGO deal they failed to give me but I called the store and they arranged a refund) and there were a couple of good deals that will benefit me in future months, but provide no foods this month. So some modest benefits accrued from the day's toil. And for dinner tonight (meaning Friday, though I know that's already over) I'm just going to microwave a ramen bowl.
Oh, and we're going to catch a break from the weather. For most of what's left of May the highs will be in the seventies and eighties, with only two days possibly breaking ninety. The lows will be in the fifties or low sixties, so plenty of free nocturnal cooling power. This is sort of normal for this time of year, so an encouraging sign. But I shouldn't say that, in case that nonexistent giant prick Poseidon is listening and decides to ruin things for us. Damned gods anyway.
