I use that directly in my stir fries as a sauce.

Have you slapped that on avocado toast yet? No? Go do it.

Hell has frozen over. The #Eglinton #LRT actually opened today in #Toronto, a mere 6 years behind schedule.

Wait so you avoid the lost husbands who shop once a year and don't know anything are out of the way.

Three people that I very much care about have passed away this week so I'm just going to stare blankly at the wall for a bit.

I had a hard time reading a road atlas while somewhere in the vicinity of BerufjΓΆdur after dark 16 years ago. The person at the gas station cheerfully told me my destination was "Not far. Other side of fjord. Maybe 90 minutes?" and helpfully pointed across the fjord. I was crestfallen.

What remote corner of Iceland is Uggi enjoying? It looks lovely. Well all of Iceland is gorgeous, it's just cheating for photography.

I mean that sounds like dental malpractice to me... I have so many levels of dental trauma, I needed to be sedated for anything more than a cleaning.

I am not finding any glasses frames that I like, which is a fancy way of saying I am being really lazy at getting my bifocals.

Window for flights under 3 hours for optimal napping. Aisle seats for long haul cause I need to walk around and this is the only way.

I'm getting advertised retro 90s eyeglasses frames and let me tell you those things were hideous on my face in the 90s. It won't be better the second time around.

The ADHD urge to rearrange my home office struck at 4 pm today. Of course.

Surprise twist πŸ™€πŸ™€ the prescription is for bifocals. I'm cackling with laughter but also wondering if I'm still covered under the extended protection from getting Lasik in 2005.

If you do that math, it makes sense that I need bifocals now. πŸ€£πŸ€“

Did we make it to Friday? This week has been about a month long. It certainly feels like January 68th by now.

I'm in my 40s and neurospicy so my idea of a wild weekend these days is going to a different supermarket than I'm used to with my usual list but ending up very far down the rabbit hole of discovery.

Anyhow I bought 4 different kinds of pickles last week at a Polish supermarket in Mississauga.

Work laptop is not detecting my external screens today and it's going to be a long day.

I need new (slightly stronger) reading glasses and possibly some driving glasses (hi, middle age is funny) so I might as well get the most hilarious frames this time around. Right?

I had 15 years between BA and MSc and honestly it was great cause I was the most motivated grad student. I knew why I went back. I had life experience. I knew what didn't work for me. I also felt like a dinosaur.

A fair question! I don't have a PhD but I had a long career in a very different field before I did my MSc and I think that really helped me get through it.

Science can mean lots of null results but you keep trying!

So many null results. :(
