I'm glad the severence and benefits folk are being generous.

I have vacuumed. Now, mopping. And WHY is Devi so interested in the underside of the counters? Makes me nervous.

Liese, I'm sorry if we sucked you in!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

2) I will have full insurance coverage through the end of March.

That is good. I was thinking that when they let you go on the 5th -- at least it wasn't the 29th or whatever, for insurance.

I just noticed a www.wheresgeorge.com on a dollar in my wallet, and it was registered three years ago in CT, but no one has logged it since. Bummer! I wonder if it's been in the tri-state area this whole time or what.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I should clean.

But will I?

One of the instructors tricked me into running. Outdoors! I feel I should sleep the rest of the day away in protest. As soon as I finish the protein shake.

Chatted with Harold Perrineau today. He's a nice guy, and understands capoeira to boot.

Damn, I'm hungry.

He's a nice guy, and understands capoeira to boot.

There was a piece on the radio about a Northeastern lobsterman (fisherman?) who got into capoeira. So much so (his enthusiasm was fun!) that he decided to quit the fish business after 20 years, spruce up his boat, and sail down to Brazil to go to a capoeira school down there. He's as far as NC now.

Mopping DONE.

I do have a new dresser now. Sadly, it's still empty. I'm thinking about keeping the old one for storage in my living room, but the drawers would just have random crap in them, which seems weird, but way better than having random crap out in the open. Right?

Do you need the random crap?

My old dresser at my parents' is mostly filled with files, sewing stuff and other random stuff that needed to be kept.

I really need to get a place. So far I've claimed grandma's old chairs when my parents decide to get rid of them (I told them I'd put them in storage if I didn't have room when they decide but that makes mom plan on keeping them longer! She makes no sense,) the oak table in the kitchen nook, a couple side tables that were my other grandmother's, the dresser/washtable mentioned above..... you get the idea. This isn't "when the parents die" stuff, this is stuff they want me to have, and I want.

But, no room.

Speaking of which, I really need to replace the floor covering in the dining room. It's ricemat and has deteriorated badly (10 years!) and I'm tired of it. I only need something 8'x8' or smaller, so not that big a deal. Maybe I'll get around to that tomorrow. Trashing it is going to be a pain.

Um. Yes?

I think I'll give it a shot, and maybe get rid of a little bookshelf I had for my school stuff -- I can integrate the books on my other shelves and put the papers I want to keep in a drawer.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

How do you get tricked into running?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

How do you get tricked into running?

You spend the weekend with juliana who casually invites youto do a 5k for breast cancer.

Um. Yes?

I was playing the role of msbelle! I'm a packrat.
