Hello I'm not dead. I didn't go to the gym because 2 hours sleep. I went to the Crouch End in a bad mood and had a sandwich and was less angry. Or so I thought. Then I had a pointless fight with Mugs. And then I went to collect Fioan from the couch. We had a cinnamon social affogato and went for a walk: stopped for a Margarita, went to the ICA, stomped up through Soho to Chinchin. Where I had decision failure and was just like: I'm so sorry to be this guy. I haven't sleep in like two days and I have lost the ability to make decisions. Whatever you choose for me I will eat, please pick something. And he was like: you dodnt have any allergies? And I'm like no. No allergies, no preferences and no ability to choose any longer. I will eat literally. Anythinhg. And he goes: Chocolate ice cream with salted caramel syrup?

And then also gave me the last brownie cookie for free. And came over and was like: was this okay? And I was like you make GREAT decisions. I make AWFUL ones. You're a star.

So yeah I'm a bad customer but. DSDSIH fdioshfas.

Then came home and had dinner on the balcony and now. I ahve to sleep because they want us IN MAYFAIR AT 11AM WHY.

Last night I watched a cute movie on Netflix called Nonnas about that restaurant on Staten Island that hires grandmas as chefs. Lorraine Bracco, Brenda Vaccaro, Talia Shire, and Susan Sarandon play the nonnas, and Vince Vaughn plays the guy opening the restaurant. It's kind of a nice mellow detox from The Bear in terms of a bunch of Italian-Americans yelling at each other in a restaurant kitchen. *g* Plus a really horrifying rendition of capuzelle, which is a roasted (or baked?) sheep's head, which is one of those dishes I try to forget knowing about. Anyway, the restaurant still exists, and now it has grandmas from all different backgrounds who cook there (a review of the real restaurant).

Today was my Monday, and tomorrow is my Friday at work. I could get used to a 2 day work week!

I'm not sure why I went looking for PJO crossovers but I'm kind of glad I did?

In addition to various Spider-Man and Captain America-themed items, I ordered a Batman shirt and a Robin shirt for Baby Miss L and then I was like, but does she know who Batman and Robin even are??? So I went looking for toddler-friendly Bat-stuff, and lo and behold, there is a show called Batwheels on Cartoon Network (and HBO Max) about the Batmobile and other Bat vehicles (the Redbird, Batgirl's bike) coming to life like the toys in Toy Story! With DUKE as ROBIN and CASS as BATGIRL!!! I love this!!! (mainly because I was afraid it was going to be Damian as Robin and Babs as Batgirl and that's just weird.) I don't know if any of the other kids exist, but there is a Batplane they call Wing, so maybe Nightwing is around? I didn't watch it, just read the wiki, but I mentioned it to my niece, so maybe Baby Miss L can get started early on loving Robin, and she can enjoy Tiny Titans when she's a little bit older. (I am still sad and bitter that Tiny Titans was cancelled so unceremoniously because it was the best.)

So this morning I updated the board chair on expected attendance at today's board meeting, and she replied, should we just switch the meeting to zoom entirely, due to the weather? So that is what we did! And as much as I would have liked to have had dinner with Friend L this evening, I was much happier not having to schlep into the city in 101°F heat. The meeting went well, and now I can relax for a few weeks.

There’s noise on the line for a moment. As always, the two-way in the corner is blank: they can see Bark, Bark can’t see them. For Security.

“Uh, can we see your ID?” asks a voice after a while.

Bark produces the order on the phone, then the ID Wallet, then their star rating, a little passive-aggressively, holding each one up to the camera and the verification lens in turn.

“Okay,” the voice says, only slightly less guarded. “Did you come via Block Q from House on the Hill?”

“I would’ve normally,” Bark assures them, in case this is a test, “but it’s currently on fire, so this time I went the long way. I’m still in-window, aren’t I?”

There’s another silence.

“Literally on fire?” the voice asks.

“It’ll be on the news by now,” Bark says. The interrogation is beginning to pall.

“No yeah, we were just wondering if there was something else,” the voice adds. “Like, you were there or something. Did you see anyone there?”

“Sir,” Bark says, defaulting to customer service, “I was focused on bringing you your order as quickly as I could so that you didn’t have to wait for your vegan Pseudoshis.”
