Staying upright long enough to put away a basket of clean clothes probably isn't supposed to feel like an accomplishment, but it does.
I mean, it's a big basket, and had lots of clothes in it.

Fish tv (and birds, I also don't get birds, though the ones at La Posta in Mesilla, I can see the appeal) are excellent for wee ones.
Damnit, now I want the coleslaw from La Posta. Not mayonaisey, just vinegar, pepper, a hint of spice and something else. I haven't been able to replicate it.

Fish TV is more consistent than Dog TV. Dog TV naps too much.

I'm just sticking my head in to say thank you to whichever Buffista suggested spraying your freezer with non-stick cooking spray after you defrost it. I just defrosted mine after spraying it last August. It took a little over an hour this time! Last August it took all-fucking day!
Whoever that tip came from is a genius!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Okay. I got the boxes out of the trunk. Going to start packing decorative crap, my books and DVDs, kitchen stuff I don't use often.
Kat, can I swing by tomorrow to pick up my ladder? Ima wash and pack curtains, and taking down the lighting accents. I figure I only have 9 full days to sort, pack, tidy up. And at least one of those is going to be spent at the new place cleaning and getting the fridge and stove delivered.
Oy. This is a big scary exciting pain in the ass awesome thing.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I also don't get birds
Unless they're corvids or predators (i.e., hawks), I don't get them either. I don't like 'em.

Oh Scrappy, I'm so sorry. I will be holding you tight in my heart.

Am I the only one wierded out by the stove and fridge thing? I've never lived in a place where that wasn't standard. Granted that's been military bases and the DC/MD/VA area, but still!

No, I find it extremely odd, teh stove and fridge thing. I checked, before moving here to Seattle, because I remembered being so taken aback by hearing about the fridge and stove thing from Aimee and MM.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've come across it a few times here, in MI, and in Montreal. Not something I'm eager to get into.
Ugh. Head hurts too much to sleep.
God, I'm not liking this weekend.
