14 February 2025: Half-over Day

[KathyB]

I am aware that it is some made-up holiday designed to get everybody to buy flowers and candy, but what today really means is that February is half over. Today has been a frustrating day. Some good things happened (The Lumineers' new album came out¹, I got to Genius on today's Spelling Bee², I had some really good mandarin orange chicken from Trader Joe's for dinner, and I am getting free delivery on my King Soopers grocery order³). But they're kind of offset by the frustrations, which I don't want to go into.

Maybe I should go to Target tomorrow and treat myself to whatever sale-priced candy I can find. Although it's been my experience that they have had a better haul (variety-wise) after Easter.

On first listen, I like the Lumineers' new album, but it's not as good as their first two.

¹Support Colorado bands!
² I've gotten to Genius maybe seven times ever, and consider it a success if I get to Amazing.
³ King Soopers has a no tipping policy on delivery, so it really is free!
