    Reading glasses. Now I can read actual paper books (or a Kindle), instead of sitting in front of a screen to do it.

    I should have got some t-shirts from Amazon, but the idiot union UPS driver appears to have delivered them to the neighbor's house. I'm in the 1300 block and they're in the 1200 block. Moron.

    That sounds nice but I don’t ever recall seeing it in the shops. I wonder if it’s what we refer to as strawberry gateau?

    Very similar. But the bread part of my cake is red because strawberry powder and flour are mixed together.

    I'm thinking of baking a pecan pie today if it doesn't get too hot to even think of turning on the oven.

    Well, Shangri-La is just up the mountain from my house (I saw the sign on the chalet) so come on down and you can have a nice big wedge.

    A gaming PC
    A Logitech steering wheel
    A 50” TV (yes I know I should have bought a gaming monitor but they’re far too expensive at that kind of size - 60 FPS is enough for me)
    A gaming mouse and keyboard
    An office chair

    Just over ten gallons of gas at #3.19 a gallon. Last year at this time, it was $2.17.

    Cleaned that cupboard full of stuff and found an old joss stick holder so yesterday I bought some and now I remember why I stopped using it because it was inconclusive what the effects of the smoke was...

    Man, I reacted quite a bit. Highish temp, chills/shivering, exhaustion, etc for 24 hours +. Then the next day my stomach was messed up. My boyfriend had zero response. Guess I'm one of the lucky ones.

    oh my! That looks delicious! But the initial excitement is soon replaced by the recollection of the trip to the hospital the last time I ate them--I am allergic to strawberries. Never again! :eek:

    Got a reading light. One of those ones that goes around the neck. Hope it's comfy.

    Bought a new super duper down jacket last year, and we went into lockdown.
    Bought a new super duper down sleeping bag last year, went into lockdown.
    Recently bought a new super duper 4 season tent.... now we're in lockdown.

    Hmmmm.... I'm sensing a pattern here...

    A second fridge for my garage and a chest freezer for my basement. Immediately filled the fridge with beer and wine and filled the freezer with meat.

    Guess it's the mods buying shit day.

    I bought this god awful shed. Took me three days to put together because not a single god damn screw hole out of two hundred some lined up. I even leveled the ground with upstanding gravel. No help. I did put a rubber floor in too, so its a decent garden shed. But way too much work for a piece of shit that I have to clamp the door shut.
