Past perfect, future tense

Ever glad of having enough rank/chutzpah to leave a badly-run meeting gone severely overtime

I did eventually find the right setting/habitat for the two (I think one might have been an abandoned building of my childhood?)

...but this dream is going to take a lot of figuring out, to know what my subconscious is currently preoccupied with

Scouting a desert beach in the burning sun with this boss figure.

A shirtless boy who recognized me came running up to ask if I had done the deed yet; I had to shush them and speak in code to not ruffle the feathers of the boss seated in the makeshift shade...

Up in a watchtower-type building scaffold, a boss/client figure decided needed to dispose of that slug-leech together with a calcified heart-remnant of some other creature.

I carefully put the boxes in my pocket and started to climb down while thinking of the best untraceable spots for them.

Incredibly vivid dream of various invertebrates still wonderfully alive in flexi-laminated sheets and cases for sale as ?souvenirs, scattered around beautiful streams, ponds and woods

Let one slug-leech one out and it was attempting to consume my thermos

The day I can yell, "Where is my phone?" and it yells back,
"Down here in the couch!" then it will truly be a smartphone.

Maybe my gums are special, YMMV, but I have been encouraged to brush gently with a soft brush, sweeping from gum towards teeth.

Going full scrub is absolutely not necessary.

Dental appointment concluded.
Apparently I have been brushing my teeth wrong my whole life.

Off to meet a new dental hygienist, just back from maternity. Hopefully won't have to tell this one to put all their hair back please, so it's not falling in my face and mouth.

I think I will! Counting on rush hour and the sun to do some of the job.

We got freezing rain; I know which I'd rather have!

"...Monday’s panel, which included doctors with robust social media presences, had at times overstated both the negative health effects of menopause and the science on the benefits of hormone replacement therapy"

Alexandre Desplat scored the movie??
I guess I will have to watch it after all

It's insane how we've normalized this.
A blender has a manual in 10 languages.
A new device? Hahahah good luck!

*Such* a thread

I need a food. I am semi-mad about having to think about what it's going to be.

Also, freshwater vs. salt

"Go sailing," they said.
"it'll be fun!" they said.

My father had a scar from fighting a dog for a piece of chicken that fell on the ground.

My mother's siblings were shipped off to be raised by richer relatives.

So when people say, "Are we there yet?", I'm at "Yes but also — not even close".

Tie.

Sorry! Stream of consciousness. At least a quarter of my brain is thinking about eating food at any given time.

Stroganoff is basically fried regular mushrooms with sour cream, that you can eat on pasta or potato.

*when I say "pie", I mean as simple as draping store-bought puff pastry across the top and baking (in oven-proof dish) until it puffs

Mushroom Bourguignon? Mushroom Stroganoff?
Both are pie-able

Seconding this: discovered fresh shrooms "sweat" as part of cooking process so don't need much (any?) butter/oil, unless as flavouring.

Tom Kha Gai (Thai coconut chicken soup) is another use I like, usually oyster or straw mushrooms.

Good evening, evening shift!

Ready to lock in?

Teen version of a comb-over!

Around the time they get into guitars to attract girls

Cool new trend in Chinese interior decorating, it's all about trad styles for the young generations. Some get designers to do it, I'm more impressed with DYI efforts, not that expensive or hard to source in a country that makes a lot of all kinds of stuff. #popculture

Is this what the girls like now
