Today I bought lobsters halves which means they weigh about 1.5lbs each. Boiled them up, took the meat out, tossed it with a tiny bit of mayo and popped into fridge to chill. Top sliced hot dog rolls were toasted with butter in a cast iron pan on the stove. Put lobster meat into the roll and called it dinner.
We’re in the soft shell lobster season. While I much, much prefer hard shells if the price is low enough I’ll settle for soft shells. Price is low enough.
I’m happy to support the local lobstermen.

Began my day learning that both my PayPal and email account were hacked. Someone charged a rather large sum of money to my PayPal, which I never use, and since it was empty, automatically withdrew from my bank account. I spent the literal first waking moments of my day on the phone with the bank and then PayPal, trying to rectify the situation. It appears they have fixed it, and the charges will be wiped within 24 hours. Was late to work. Mega stressed all day.
I don’t know what I’m eating tonight, but I know what I’m drinking!

Change your passwords (pretty obvious), and maybe start using a VPN.

Yes, everything changed. Bank froze my account and sending me a new card, etc. As soon as PayPal fixes this, I think I am going to delete them. I used to be a big Ebayer but have not done much in a few years. Kept it around for the hell of it, but with Venmo et al now, there’s not much of a point.

Aaaaahhh (that’s an anguished scream on your behalf). Hope that this is resolved quickly. A good meal and a strong drink or so ought to help ground you meanwhile.

Quick dinner: BJs 4-cheese tortellini with sauteed sweet sausage and broccoli, with a sauce from my just-ripe home grown chopped Ramapo tomatoes (tastes like tomatoes should, being a Jersey Girl who grew up near the Ramapo Mountains), some defrosted tomato sauce, white wine, Aleppo pepper, and a sploosh of heavy cream. Topped with grated Parm-Reg.
Whit wine alongside. And it was REALLY good.
