Sitting in an overheating car on a sunny day. I'm not a sun worshipper, so this is not what I'd call "ideal."

Michelle's getting electrolysis. I'm trying to figure out some edits to my dad's website some more and improvising. I don't think I'm entirely successful, but I'll see. Part of my

So yeah, I forgot I was writing that entry. Michelle's electrolysis is showing better results than ever. The weekend was a trip to a store Michelle wanted to see that basically carried all sorts of everything and a shop that sold everything. Sunday was mostly being home until I was told that Trader Joe's had 50 cent eggs, after which we drove down and got a ton of eggs faster than you could say Guy Fieri. Then late night website work and then gaming and then blessed, blessed, sleep.

I've been pushing on less sleep, or should I say my head is relying on less sleep. Keep the naproxen coming, I'm getting tension headaches, which is that headache that makes your eye sockets feel strained and painfully tight.

It doesn't help that Michelle was clingy last night and I kept waking up at night from her touching me awake and then losing my ability to sleep when the AC kept going on and off. It's been night after night of sleeping poorly for me.

The Website
Got most of it figured out, I think I'll need to shop around for stock photos, which will probably set me back by 100 or so (my dad insists on being invoiced for those, so ok), then I go through putting in billing and transition my dad's website to the new site.

But before that, I need to start up the Facebook page. And then I need to get some content from him for the website's blog feature, which he insists on wanting.


My workload at work cut down significantly now that I took care of three times my workload for this month, so I am going to be able to enjoy some calm again and keep up on this website and your (mis)adventures.

Gardening
I ACTUALLY HARVESTED BEANS OH MY GOD

It was little more than a handful, a few tiny Kentucky wonders from the window and six of the Orient wonders from outside that were long enough to touch the ground. I'm predicting that by the end of this week, I should have a good crop. Still no squash fruit though, sadly.

I also had a Japanese beetle problem so used a spray I kept in storage for a few weeks that used a handful of habaneros pureed with garlic. Sprayed them out and you'd get this delectible smell, until the fumes would be breathed in and then you'd start choking from it. Once you spray them, their heads start vomiting and they try to move around to get rid of the stuff. In a few minutes, it eventually kills them.

I'm told it also affects pollinators, so I'm using this stuff sparingly in targeted instances. The other bugs around my plants are feeding spring peepers that visit my plot whom I see jump away once I check on the vegetables.

Cooking
The first harvest went to a fry in butter and served with a sous vide of chicken in a marinade bag containing mustard, white wine, worcestershire sauce, rosemary, sriracha, and garlic powder. Michelle liked it, and we were impressed at how tender it is cooked this way.

Last night was a stirfry. Maybe tonight I'll do mapo tofu? If I don't fall on my face tonight? I was also tempted to make something I like to call "evil jelly" which is a mixture of habaneros, red pepper flakes, garlic, vinegar, and sugar. Nothing will live in it, and your mouth will hate you for it. But it's also sooo tasty.

More to tell for today? Not really. Really could use some sleep though.
