We purchased private flood insurance because it was cheaper than the NFIP. The system is definitely broken.

As someone with long legs and a butt, trying to find a new pair of pants is a PITA series of order-return, order-return, order-return. It feels so wasteful (not to mention a waste of my time), but nobody stocks talls/long inseam in store.

Feeling ancient watching the VMAs, but maybe not as old as Madonna and her rambling on the mic

The game didn't go so well, but burgers in the backyard are an ok consolation prize.

Between a run yesterday, gardening this morning, two days of riding a bike (after a year+ off), and sitting on the metal bleachers at Yulman, my entire lower half hurts.

We walked to Bayou Bagel this morning, and it was just what we needed. 🥯 😊

This is a big loss for Carnival parades. Their band was great!

Happy Dolly Parton Day! I'm wearing a bright pink button down and cowboy boot earrings for my 8-4 today.

I've been waiting on a live plant shipment that was supposed to arrive yesterday (even worked from home to be ready to receive), but it never arrived. Now it seems to be stuck in Olive Branch MS for a second day and may not arrive until tomorrow. I hope those babies survive! They were expensive!

I just moved from reading glasses to progressives, and I'm trying to give myself time to adjust, but I think the middle distance - which I need for computer-based work - is off. It's super frustrating to try to get work done wearing these!

I woke up with my left ear all plugged up and ringing a bit. It's really throwing me off. I took a decongestant, so hopefully that clears things up.

I don't know why, but I just thought of the delicious mushroom toast from Mimi's. Ave Pub used to have one, as well. I wish I knew someplace that still had a version!

Between car repair, picking up custom framed posters, and picking up prescription eye and sunglasses, this has been the most expensive Friday in recent memory.

New Orleans people - does anyone have experience filing a title insurance claim? And/or getting a title company that screwed up a previous sale to maybe expedite a situation/pay damages for delaying a sale?

I ordered a new pillow that was supposed to arrive yesterday. It did not. It is showing it hasn't even shipped. I slept terribly. Coincidence?

My car pings my phone when the door is left unlocked while parked, and since it is currently in the shop, I'm getting SO many notifications. At least I know they are working on it, I guess!

I just ran outside mid dishes to meet the neighbor's pet pig. My husband thinks I'm crazy, but you don't walk a pig to go unnoticed. 🐖 🍪

My car is in the shop, so I got up early and took extra time to take the streetcar to the office today for in-person meetings. Now 2 of the 3 people I was supposed to meet with at the office have canceled. Great.

We're back to working on the gallery wall. We both agreed last night that further work after wine was not wise

Erica @ericajohnson27.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

We are doing a gallery wall in our entryway, and our planning has gotten out of control. CAD layouts, ordered everything, now cardboard cutouts that my husband is marking with the hanging hardware. The laser comes out next...

Went to bed nauseated. Woke up still feeling nauseated plus sinus pain. On the couch and trying to rest to hopefully work the afternoon. 🤢

We took the day off to drink cheap martinis and enjoy a leisurely Coolinary lunch. No regrets. Might make this an annual event.

So this mystery dent is going to cost $1600 to fix. It's in the precise location where popping it out isn't possible so I need a full new hood. 😞

My work computer decided it didn't want to cooperate today, so I had to pivot and come into the office for a loaner. My computer had to be rebuilt, so I will be spending the rest of the week resetting every setting and waiting for everything I have ever used to sync. Thank goodness for our IT team!

Y'all this horrible week continues to be horrible. In the wee hours of Wed morning, I heard loud yelling and a few banging noises outside our house on the street. It sounded like it rounded the corner and went away, so I went back to sleep. Yesterday, I discovered a huge dent in the hood of my car.

Well today was rotten. So much for hoping things improve from Monday.

Today has just been one of those days where nothing seems to go as it should. Easy tasks complicated, nonresponse when you really needed it, so many interruptions. I really hope the week improves from here because I have had it.
