I wrote today. I was expecting to. But it took a lot out of me. Nerve pain included.

It's hotter inside my house than outside:

Just walked past a window and got blasted with heat.

Jenn: Hrm, of all these camisoles I have, three of the four don't fit very well thanks to my body shape.

Heart: Hang on a second there, buddy. These are Steph's old camisoles. From, like, college. Being cis, she was always smaller than you, and you've gotten bigger since then. Have you considered...just for a second...that maybe...just maybe...if you got some in your size, which you can get now, they'd fit better?

Jenn: ...................................................I need to check out my big and tall clothing shop RIGHT THE HECK NOW.

Heaven is knowing I can make flour tortillas any time I like.

This Week's Fancy Pants Meal: Keema Curry

Oooh, this is a nice take on the Carne Picada I make. In fact, next time I make this, I'm adding some potatoes, as that would make this absolutely perfect for an Indian flavored version of Carne Picada.

Starting a Sunday off right. Wish I had some chopped onions and real salsa, but hot sauce works in a pinch.

Today's Star Trek: The Next Generation is "Half a Life."
