It doesn't hurt that with food transportation costs up, buying locally is no longer priced at a relative premium.<br /><br />* haircut and beard management from Skylar my Hair Person, who left the salon that was a bit over a block away and <i>somehow</i> found a place that was even closer. I have weird, cowlick-riddled facial hair, so when I find someone who can deal with the encroaching face bramble, you best believe that I'm holding on with both hands.<br /><br /><span class="cut-wrapper"><span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"></span><b class="cut-open">(&nbsp;</b><b class="cut-text"><a href="https://slipjig3.dreamwidth.org/867503.html#cutid1">Obligatory selfie herein, natch</a></b><b class="cut-close">&nbsp;)</b></span><div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"></div><br /><br />* a wander over to Bull Moose, where I found used copies of four different Pentangle albums on vinyl; only bought one, <i>Solomon's Seal</i>, because that one I'm pretty sure I'll never see in the wild again for boring nerdy reasons<br /><br />* air fryer chicken wings and broccoli for dinner<br /><br />* got a whole mess o'yak shaving done on the video for the YouTube-channel-that-I-swear-I'll-write-about-soon, which meant a lot of pre-editing, an annoying process made mroe so by the fact that I enjoy it, dammit<br /><br />Tomorrow: an hour or two of filming, then date night with Andrea. Promises to be no less lovely.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=slipjig3&ditemid=867503" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments tag:dreamwidth.org,2019-01-10:3478881:866287 2022-06-28T00:22:03Z 2022-06-28T00:22:03Z "Paper Trails," Darkside public 6 I'm starting to get the feeling that evening is not the time to be posting stuff. Even after a profoundly non-mentally-taxing day like today, the thought of sticking words into sentences into paragraphs into anything remotely coherent makes my brain twitch like the weird Jello wad that it is. But since I'm here, let's see what happens.<br /><br />I think I went just a tad over the line at the gym this morning. Tired and sore are normal, but this was tired and sore and...something else, like I sprained my ghost a bit. Didn't affect the rest of the day for the most part, except for the bit when I was stapling a bunch of piles of card stock together, which is one of those activities that could kill you but the obituary would list it a homicide to spare your family the humiliation.<br /><br />The office was ridiculously quiet, outside of illicit crossword construction, the aforementioned stapler fandango, and my laptop coughing up a lung when I was literally not even touching it. The company is going to be closed for the entirety of next week, so we're taking bets as to whether <i>this</i> week is going to be five days of Silence of the Power Ties or three days of silence followed by two days of shrieking Nordic epic deadline panic. Pray for me.<br /><br />We made egg roll in a bowl for dinner. 'Twas tasty.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=slipjig3&ditemid=866287" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
