Eor and I went out and got ourselves a new griddle the other day, because I had burned up the old one (and it was losing it's non-stick, so dangerous to be eating off of anyway). Also a spatula and a drink shaker. We thought long and hard about each purchase because the place we went is so expensive, but I stuck to my guns that I didn't want another non-stick griddle, especially at $40. Griddles, apparently, are out, so there were not a lot of choices. There was one cast iron griddle and it's HUGE and HEAVY, but I went with it.
Today I used it for the first time. Huge? Yeah. It's nearly impossible to fit on the stove. I don't want to keep it down where the other griddle was, for fear Eor's proven* right and I never use it because it's too heavy, so I leaned it up against the wall at the back of the counter. Ack. Well, with proper cleaning (hot water and a wipe down, most of the time) it should last the rest of my life, and maybe someday I'll have a stove which it doesn't take up the whole of. *sigh*
Watched ep 12 of RH+ over my breakfast. Can I just say 'aaaaaaaggggghhhh!!!!' ? Talk about cliff-hangers! ( spoilers - please come talk to me about my new obsession! )
I've stooped to the point of trying to get co-workers to watch the damned show so I can have people to talk to about it in RL. One had seen some dubbed eps, but never in order. Others are like "well, if I want to see it I'm sure I can look it up." Read 'no!'
Off to UPS, now, to pick up... something. New mice**, I think. One of Eor's belated birthday presents. I also ordered him a keyboard, but it hasn't come yet and I'm getting nervous.

*My spellchecker says there's no such word as 'proven' - is that true? It also says there's no suck word as spellchecker, but I'm less surprised about that.
