Thank you for the encouragement.    Yes, kneehab will definitely get done tonight.  I have my evening clear, so my wife and I will both lift weights, and I'll get the kneehab done, and finish the slide-out drawers I'm building for our kitchen cabinets.  It will be a busy night, but it will all get done.

Hi @Elastigirl! Very busy and very good–I've been struggling to get traction with my business and juggling doing a lot of side work to stay afloat, which had been pretty stressful. Now, things are starting to ease up and flow better, hiking is going well (which keeps me in good spirits when things are tough), and it feels like I'm on the right track!       Hey @Laghail! I will do my best to keep it varied and interesting...   

It’s so good right? I love how they get all that pumpkin flavor but it’s ICE CREAM. Genius, really!  

I love Pumpkin Pie Blizzard season!   

Still sore today!  We are planning another walk after work but it should definitely be a shorter walk.     Work pizzas are very good.  They have a little pizza oven and they make them to order.  Personal sized pizzas, naan crusts, or flatbread crusts!  And they have alfredo sauce option for sauce and that's my fav!  

Yeah! It’s really nice to have moments like that. I forget to have fun sometimes, it’s nice to focus on those moments!    

OMG now I feel old.  Taco Bell was making those in 1995 😂

Sounds lovely for a look! Brains are certainly weird in trying to evaluate how big of a fashion/appropriateness risk we're taking.     Smart StS is smart. Sounds idyllic though. Are the summer tourists cleared out for the season?     Big mood. No pressure on trying it, but Liam says iced mocha is ALMOST a tolerable way to drink coffee. He got two whole sips in before making the face and having an orange italian soda instead.      So gorgeous! Did you pick a rock or was this more preparatory window shopping?      Sounds like a lovely outing Succumbed to an ice cream, or manfully conquered that soft-serve???     A place in Pittsburgh took hard shell tacos and then wrapped a soft flour tortilla around the whole thing. It made the whole affair manageable to eat while walking about. IDK if that solves anything for you but it certainly was novel.

Oh my gosh, these are delightful!   I know an artist whose webcomics sometimes include very cool explanations on the differences of the Nordic languages! Minna Sundberg, who has published A Redtail's Dream (ARtD) and Stand Still, Stay Silent with lovely and dark Finnish mythos involved.  She's had other pieces since then involved with her recent change of faith that I think are lovely as well, and one short tale that discusses the dangers she perceives in the developing social credit systems. I've followed her art since my sister introduced me to it in 2012, among other narratives. ❤️

I could rant about the worst customers if that will remind you it's not always a walk in the park (unless the park has hornets, spiders, and audacious rodents). 😉   Today's been really nice, though. A customer came by and was so grateful for our services that they came back with half a dozen drinks from Starbucks. Soooo I had a coffee (I didn't even finish it, and my anxiety is through the roof, so I'm gonna stop drinking it, right?) because why not (see reason why not in previous parentheses, lol)?   I get an extra half hour on my lunch to avoid overtime from the ordeal of training a newby on the closing shift. I was granted a chair because I couldn't be in my drawer anyway when both the tellers were in. I joked that I was finally getting some respect for my old age (pretty sure at 31, I'm only the third oldest person here at this branch, but training two folks a decade younger definitely affirms the age gap 😅).   I went back into lecture mode since she was doing transactions without needing too much direction. Like I said - she's a quick learner. 😃 I'm very proud of her progress and how well it's sticking so far.   Anyway, time for left over stir fry! ❤️
