"Hrm, when I make Indomie ramen, the instructions say to drain the water out before putting the seasoning in. What if I did that with regular ramen?"

::10 minutes later::

"I have made sodium flavored ramen."

"She...threw a ship at us!"

Oh, I like Amanda Plummer in this season of Picard.

What is takes to get Jenn to put on a jacket:

The news is really pushing that a conflict with China over Taiwan is building. And the news out of Taiwan also seems to be very invasion-centric.

Between this and the rising action in the Russia/Ukraine war, I'm getting quite itchy about that.

I love you Andrew of Binging with Babish, but being sponsored by Hogwarts Legacy. Ouch.

I wasn't feeling well this morning, but it passed fairly quickly. Now just before I get ready for bed, I'm feeling nauseous again.

I kinda hate this, because it would happen to me all the time as a kid. I was sick with something in the morning, but I'd feel good enough after a half hour, I'd have to go school. Then I'd feel bad again just before bed.

I never had time to do cool stuff because I was always working. Now that I'm not working I can't do the cool stuff I have time for cause I'm rationing money.

That time of year again where I say "it's time to charge all the rechargeable batteries in the house" and other people say "I think you have a problem, Jenn."

Okay, I screwed up last night's "Music Before Bed" so it's time I posted it right. IT'S THAT IMPORTANT.

Last Boost: Mom and I still have our challenges. A lot of them. But she's come around. It's a lot of work from both sides (and there's more work to be done - lots more), but it's happening.

Huh. Maybe this is the make-up routine that would work for me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3Zhcefsc48

METEOROLOGISTS!

When you say "Westerly winds" do you mean wings going to our coming from the west?

Woke up today after a twelve hour sleep, head pounding, body feeling like I ran a race and the left side of my face feeling like my sinuses have invaded their neighbors.

Not sure if I caught something or just over did it last night, but hopefully lots of water will fix me me up. If I'm still feeling bad before bed, Covid test....

Music Before Bed:

Please enjoy this earworm....

This isn't a restaurant in the far reaches of the Texas Hill Country, it's the setting for an anime that takes place in the far reaches of the Texas Hill Country....

It's funny how my handwriting has changed post transition. I didn't change it on purpose, but it's morphed over the years. I really slice the downstroke on the t, and something you don't see here is I really hook the crook on the letter "f."

It's kinda cartoony, but kinda cute, too.

Silly Jenn Fact: In high school, Steph decided my handwriting was so unfeminine, she made me practice writing like a girl. It didn't take at the time. Maybe it did decades later?
