Mug, Cardi B, chicken feet.

My favorite mug (actually, the house’s favorite mug – Jeremy might use it more often than I do because he drinks coffee) has developed a tiny leak.  It’s so tiny that it took me a few days and some very scientific tests to determine there is a small crack.  I am not generally a sentimental person for physical things, but this mug is important to me and so it makes me sad.

When Jeremy was gone in Seattle, Vince and I did not fight.  Not one single time.  It was close to finals week and I didn’t mention them at all.  Not one single time.  We might have actually had a nice time together.  I quite pleased with myself because I can be annoying to be around, but I give most of the credit to Vince, who (unlike me when I get in certain stubborn moods regarding school work), is a kind, forgiving, fun loving, non-grudge holding person.

I was enjoying Cardi B’s instagram statement of the gov’t shutdown: here.  And then at last Sunday night dinner Jane mentioned that she loved Cardi B and I remembered that the keynote speaker at my nursing graduation in 2017 ended her speech with references to Cardi B and so I thought I’d get with the program and follow her on Instagram for a little bit.  Then I was laughing at her video last night: here. And then Jeremy, Vince and I were doing our nightly thing about exchanging interesting videos we’d found on the internet that day and I showed them Cardi B’s video and then I said – so many “mother fuckers!” And then I asked Vince if he had ever heard me say the words “mother fucker” before and he said – “no I don’t think I’ve ever heard you say mother fucker.  Have you ever heard me say mother fucker before?” And then I replied – “no I don’t think I’ve ever heard you say mother fucker before either.” And then Jeremy hurriedly chimed in – please, please, no more!  I like keeping our conversations free from vulgarities.  And so we stopped.

Jeremy wants to tell you mother fuckers that he upgraded to the Tron bike on Zwift this week.  Go Jeremy!

Jeremy in high school with his high school girlfriend.  This particular girlfriend is way cooler than me.  She is now married to a fire fighter.  I told Jeremy that if he had married her, he’d be a fire fighter now and wouldn’t that be a different life…

Parents made us chicken feet tonight.
