I got no writing done this weekend. On the other hand, I paid my first visit to an Aldi. Then I went to a liquor store. Then I went to Sprouts. So, on the whole, it was an excellent day.

Watched @lisaannwalter.bsky.social's It Was An Accident tonight and, yes, not only am I in a better mood, but I also believe the chili relleno and cheese enchilada I had for lunch are now fully digested.
