Timelies all!
There was a power outage in our neighborhood last night. It happened while we were in the middle of cooking dinner, so we ended up getting dinner on our way to dance practice. At least the power was back when we got home.
I got my semi-annual haircut/trim today. Ended up with a new-to-me stylist, as the one I had been going to was no longer there. She did a decent enough job, though I could have done without the shilling for a colorwash and product.
In news that may amuse some, a filker I know proposed to his girlfriend(during her concert set at the con where they were both guests) while wearing a penguin suit.(Not a tuxedo, an actual penguin costume)
I just found out I'm apparently sharing an office in my new job. BAH! I don't wanna! My predecessor worked from home three days a week, so it wasn't a big deal, I guess.
t /diamond shoes are too tight
I need reasons not to be cleaning my office, the way I am supposed to be.
Reason #1: you need to find a picture of a cute fuzzy animal. It's imperative.
Oh, hey, Jesse--did you get my email?
Recently? I did not. Maybe it got spamminated. Want to try again and I'll look in the filter?

Hi, Nilly, yes, it did! Thanks! A little bird told me about it, so I stopped by and used the marvelous search feature. Thanks for the wishes.
Hey everyone, hi. Wow, I haven't been in here in yonks. Love the color of your walls, Tom! It's gorgeous! There are two new-to-me names, hullo Ailleann and Strega.
Someone mentioned Tempurpedics - when I was in Small Claims Court a few months ago, there was a hearing over a Tempurpedic - the guy bringing the suit said he'd been transferred from another Comm'rs court because the Comm'r had to recuse herself because of conflict - she and 7 other people in the courthouse staff were also suing Tempurpedic. He brought it up almost as an aside, which made the Tempurpedic guy look like he'd just eaten a lemon.
Sheryl, did she accept? Did someone take photos? Great story!
Guess who has ac?!?
NOT ME.
Well, I have it, it just still isn't working. Another cranky morning visit due since no one entered the apartment while I was at work.
Sad thing is? It's 80 inside and I'm not a big sweaty lump. I'm adapting. Cats are still flat but they've finally noticed my poor man's mini-ac unit (frozen 3 QT jug of water behind a fan.)
Hivemind question:
I don't pay much attention to cars, at least in the decade between one car and the next, but now my mother is asking me which of the current SUV/minivan-type cars are ones she can get into comfortably. She can't get into the ones that are high off the ground. She's finally thinking about replacing the station wagon, which is basically this [link] which has been falling apart for some years. She's had an old-school station wagon for 30 years, and she still wants something with some cargo room. Does anyone have any ideas? Any websites you can recommend?
My sister just bought a Mazda suv/van crossover thingie brand new that is pretty low to the ground, very nice, and not as massive or overwhelming as a van. With all the features it maxed out at $24k, so it was a pretty good deal.
ETA:
I think it's the MPV. [link]
