Making a note. It's been ten years since I drove in a parking deck. Must now go to bed and practice trying to read myself to sleep this early. I mean I need to get a couple of hours reading, right? Note I am one of those people who needs nine hours sleep, ten is better. You would not like me on 8 or less. |

I love DST. I hate when it goes back to Standard time and it gets dark early. HATE IT.
Our weeds are doing delightfully.

I'd probably be pretty consistent with shift work actually...
I tend to only give 60% at any given moment anyway.

I used to consider that the worst day of the year. Even the traffic seemed to be worse.

Hi floozies!
I hate DST! Don't care in the summer, but that's supposed to be part of fall and winter, the short days and early dark. LOML flips her days/nights every week. Don't know how she does it. It's brutal.

Me: Did you hear about Duchess? Person not me: Oh yeah, never expected it. Me: Well it is always the royal ones. ![]()

So, I thought you would all want a Chermioya update.
A little backstory: I basically bought the fruit cause it had the word ice cream in the title. I forgot what it was called, got help in identifying and learned I had to wait till it was ripe. Today was that day. I cut it down the middle as per instructions and put it in a flat tupperware. First of all, it looked a little like smooth white matter from a brain with these large black alien-like seeds scattered throughout. Still, I pushed forward and scooped the first bite. The consistancy was, smooth, but with a hint of slimy--enough to make it difficult to swallow. The taste was chalky, a little like a papaya (which I hate) and had just enough tart sweetness to compell me to take another bite. On it went, an almost slimy texture that began with an initial off-putting flavor that ended with a sweetness that just almost enough but not quite. Then I shifted the tupperware and realized it was not what I thought it was, and the entire time the juices had been leaking through an unknown hole and into my lap. I decided this was the sign needed. Here endeth Cherimoya.
