Here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter, I was born to walk alone
And I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time

I've got mail!
And it's a piece of art.

My neighbor invited me to go with to $20 Tuesday at Saji Ya. So good. This Tuesday's deal was a roll with cucumber, something, rice and salmon with a small bottle of saki. We also split a caterpillar roll which is eel, rice and avocado. Did I state it was so good.

In my breast cancer support groups, we are getting posts of women being targeted because " people " think we are trans. Many of us went flat after breast amputation and many of us live flat. If breast cancer survivors are being attacked, it must be that much worse for trans people. I can't even.

I think this is more what I remember as taste. Probably because the bar didn't have dairy on hand and used Baileys instead.
