I just tried to put an empty glass down on a shelf that is no longer there and stared in bemusement as it fell to the floor.
It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Oh, my, you'd think companies that just guzzled millions of US tax dollars would be a little nicer to the clients who kind of own them. I got one of those "OMG your car payment is late and we'll ruin your credit for life if you don't hock a kidney and pay it tonight!!!11!eleventy1" letters. Slight problem, though. I sold the car back to the dealer over a month ago. I called the financier to let them know who the new owner was so they could dun them, and the person who I dealt with was incredibly hateful and obstructionist. I had all the sales info ready for her, and she informed me that it wasn't her problem, and if my dad didn't get the money in there'd be hell to pay with his credit. I suggested that as Dad was dead his credit report was of little concern, so perhaps she'd like to talk to the people who actually have the car. "Well, if that's how you want to be," she replied. No, I want my dad to be alive and making payments himself. But as he's not, and as the dealer bought the car back, I'm not inclined to send her any money.
And now I kinda want to kick someone.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I'll kick them, too.
Go above and complain -- It sometimes works really well.

Our wings are not tired.
Calli, that is TRULY horrible. I'm sorry. I am here to help you kick; your choice who are what.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Oh, Calli, that's just awful. I'm sorry you had to go through that.

Bedroom bookcase, packed. Last of not-hugest art, packed.
Email from someone in the new neighborhood with some good recommendations and advice, received and replied.

Calli, that's wretched. Definitely complain!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
oh calli, can you please give me the phone number? and either the name of the person you talked to or some info on your account? I'd like to give some a piece of my mind tonight and a supervisor for that tool sounds like a good place to start.
sara, oopsie.
mac is lying and poorly and kinda not caring that I am disappointed.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That's a mess, Calli. I remember all the brouhaha my grandmother had to go through after my grandfather died -- she was literally unable to cancel the AOL account, because they had his name and insisted on speaking to him. Luckily, my father is a junior, so finally he called and said, "I'm [name] and I want to cancel this acount."

mac!
I got a couple smaller boxes at work and since they weren't broken down, I figured I might as well fill them since they take up space anyway. Also did the candles on the walls in the bedroom.
