Ha! Just talked to Rozi landlord. New people moving in downstairs on the 1st. They might want the couch! WOOT! Won't that be nice and easy!
Book: Where's the doctor? Not back yet?
Zoe: (beat) We don't make him hurry for the little stuff. He'll be along.
Book: He could hurry... a little.

Guess we won't be going fishing..
Tropical storm conditions expected with hurricane conditions possible. Southeast winds 30 to 35 knots with gusts to around 50 knots increasing to 45 to 50 knots with gusts to around 65 knots after midnight. Seas 6 to 8 feet building to 12 to 14 feet after midnight. Intracoastal waters extremely rough in exposed areas. Rain and isolated thunderstorms in squalls.
One of my two concerns for storm season is my roof. I have a tile roof and the top edge blew off last year in Wilma. It doesn't leak, but it left a gap that would cause the whole thing to blow off if high wind gets in there. Ex-BIL (owns roofing company that put roof on 7 years ago) just called me and said he was sending a crew over to fix it today. He doesn't have the right color tile because of huge shortages, but he'll put grey on and paint the whole thing next week. My current roof isn't painted, but color thru white tile. Of course I have been buggin him for months, but he is coming through for me when really needed. Love ex-BIL.
Yay vw! That will be nice to get off the list.

This is a done deal now, yes, Calli?
It is now. I've just done the initial, "Thanks, but buh-bye now" bit with some of the management. Now I'm waiting for the big contract boss to call me back so I can officially tell him.

What is even happening?
Congrats, Calli. When do you start?
Laura, your ex-BIL rocks. I hope the storm peters out for real. I would like to apologize to you, because when I read this:
I am working from home (Ernesto)It started turning into a filk set to the tune of ABBA's Fernando, in my head:
I will work from home, Ernesto
But just realized there will be no slacking off
No Soaps, just news, Ernesto...

beth, is Matt away for long?
all week. His travel is about 75% right now. We have time off in October - and part of him thinks we should go back east to see his folks - but plane travel right now just isn't relaxing.
why do I want fried chicken for breakfast?

I am slowly corrupting Teacup Guy. I just found his old jeans, that were falling apart in the trash. Normally I can get him to buy replacements for his old clothes but not actually discard them.
