I think it is time to brush my teeth and get ready for bed. 🫤

Manning vs Bensen. So ridiculous, but LCMC and Ochsner are definitely in competition

thanks for the heads up. I will give myself a few extra minutes tomorrow because I know that won't be fixed, and that's an unavoidable cross on my commute to the office.

Tonight was fun, and we're home and in bed at a decent hour. Also thankful I carry earplugs in my purse at all times because that show was so loud.

Indeed! And I love the teens having the time of their lives up front

Tonight's rainy evening cocktail: The Torchlight 🔦 because we had leftover hot honey 🍯

My husband owns many identical pairs of the same 2 types of socks (tall and ankle). He never matches them up - just shoves them in a drawer and tosses as holes show up, so he doesn't even know if he has odd or even counts anymore. Baffles me, but I don't mess with it, and he does his own laundry

Sometimes I wonder how this little agent of chaos can be so darn cute.

hard pass. I'm eating leftover cornbread for breakfast just toasted and slathered in butter.

I automatically start hearing sizzles in my head when I read "this is your brain on drugs"

YES!!!! I actually like this more than the cement version

You could always add felt accessories with the seasons! :)

Agree. We have to pay 2 sanitation fees - one for our main house and one for our guest house, even though the guest house is only occupied a few weekends a year. It's a lot of money for very little trash.

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

People come in all sizes, but stores seem to ignore that fact.

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.

Hope you enjoy your day and your meal. Happy birthday!

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. 🥯 😊

I did not know these were a Bar Mitzvah tradition. Those were delicious candies.

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

Yikes! I've stopped paying attention to when emails were sent because the academic researchers I work with keep all kinds of odd hours! I refuse to do meetings outside of 8-6, though. I deserve boundaries.

Erica @ericajohnson27.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

For most of my career, I've had a direct supervisor on eastern time, so my work day has always started between 8-8:30 just for ease of working together.

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

Watching Alton Brown make red beans and rice with homemade pickled pork is our nerdy fun for the evening. 👩🏼‍🍳

I automatically assume that anything from Amazon is coming a day or two later than it says. If they surprise me, great!

I agree that this is going to become a bigger issue given the fuel prices. FedEx, however, is already so unreliable even though they used to be the standard.

Erica @ericajohnson27.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

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!

Fingers crossed she can get you back to "eligible for donating blood" at least and that the fatigue isn't too terrible!

If you want advice on the best metamucil out there to counter ahem side effects of iron supplements, happy to share my wealth of knowledge! (in all seriousness, though, hope you can get your levels up.)

Thankfully it is distant and cannot be heard inside the house

Erica @ericajohnson27.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

You would think they would have figured this all out by now! The on and off is annoying.

Erica @ericajohnson27.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

I've already got computer glasses for work. That Rx was supposed to be built into these progressives because I now need just a slight correction on distance, but I don't think they got it right. Thankfully, Costco makes corrections pretty easy

220

Erica @ericajohnson27.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

I switched back to my readers this morning (which are designed for computer work). I'll keep trying, but I may need to go back to the doc to see if the Rx is off.

110

Erica @ericajohnson27.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

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!
