Which reminds me, I need to run the cafe curtains I got for the front door through the dryer, because I hung 'em out of the package and they are wrinkly.

Stephanie, if they are the rubber backed kind and running them through a dryer alarms you, my mom always used to mist them down heavily after hanging them and then yanking on them. Only worked moderately well in NM, but PR, probably would work better.

I was thinking about just misting them, but I didn't have a sprayer in the house handy. Now that I have two weeks here with nothing to do, I'll have time to go get whatever I need.

10/12 today. 3 hours to go. Post-dinner gronk has set in.

Mom just repurposed a windex bottle.

Ugh. The bins are located in a dark alley. No lights. about twenty cans. Where's the garbage from previous events (I say previous because the caterer denies it being his)? In front. On the ground. With 18 empty bins unreachable behind. In my heels, in my skirt, in my favorite blouse, I point my cars headlights at the mess and dig through the pile to get to the empties. There's a kid from the catering co. begrudgingly helping me. Handing me bags. Meanwhile, what I'm sure isn't just rainwater is dripping all over my clothes, my forearms, between my toes, and this kid is being a little fucking nancy about having to help lift the heavy tub that is *their* garbage into a bin.

Fuck you all.

The brides parents were nice, though.

I'm off with my bottle of wine.

Stephanie, Downy makes a spray wrinkle-releaser.

I used that for when my cats became electrified.

If you have two weeks, Stephanie, I'd just hang them and wait. You don't want to just iron them?

The house that hung a NM flag when I was looking, an MD flag when I bought...is now hanging a rainbow flag. And there is a cat in the window. God, I moved into the right hood.

How are people doing tonight? I'm home watching who reruns.
