Wearing our vintage misery--no, I think it looked a little better on me

I am deeply snotty this morning, with a slight tickle in my throat. I don't think it's anything except allergies, but it's annoying. I'm just going to drink my coffee and see where I am in about 30 min. If need be, I can buy some Ricola to coat my throat.

Yesterday was a busy day. I had work, then farmer's market, then over to the pharmacy. Yet again, it occurred to me what a little hermit I've become. The farmer's market is precisely two exits in one direction and the pharmacy is 3 exits in the other. But going out feels like such a foreign thing these days. Especially things that require me to go towards our old neighborhood like the pharmacy does.

That area feels alien now. I lived there for 52 years, but after 6 months away, I don't feel like I belong there anymore. It's a weird feeling.

I bought way too much at the farmer's market. I have white turnips, beets, radishes, and a whole load of baked goods.

Tonight, I believe I shall make the turnips. I'll save the greens for another day. Maybe I can cook them up later in the week--after I look up some recipes, The big question will be whether I want to cook them with some potatoes, or just mash them up as is.

My packages have slowly started to trickle in. I got my shirts from Torrid, and my sister and Jess' new water cups. Jess' tshirt "trans rights or I bites" with a pissed off possum showed up. More stuff is going to be coming the rest of the week.

I moved the dogs grooming to the weekend of 6/21, because it was on Pride Weekend, and htat would have been insanely difficult.

I've got a full weekend this week. first up, on Saturday, I'm working the Trans Pride booth for Hopkins. Then, immediately afterwards, we'll have a game, then I crash and Jess has a game in the evening. Sunday, I'm going out for lunch with a friend, and then in the evening, we have another game.

But first, I've got three more days of work to get through.

Oh, we also built our dresser yesterday! We finally have somewhere other than shelves to put our stuff. It fit right in our closet. We look so organized at the moment! I have an underwear drawer! It's lovely. We have one more thing to build--a file cabinet to go beside my desk where I can put some of my stuff and the printer.

The fucking pantry is still unavailable from IKEA, so I suppose I'll start looking elsewhere. Annoying. I really liked that combo. It would have worked so well in the space.

Okay, time to go forth and get myself together. Everyone have an awesome Wednesday!
