their building definitely has a shabbat mechanism.
I've never thought about elevators and shabbat, but it does make sense when you think about it. I love the clever things that appear in the world.
My whole life, I've never loved anything else.

Because books.
Nilly! Yay! It's always so good to see you here!
Happy Halloween, everyone -- and happiest of anniversaries to Jilli and The Adorable One Pete!
We have a monster pumpkin to carve in a little while. And Sara to sedate until it's time to trick or treat. She's a leeeetle excited.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Don't sedate her with candy. It never ends well.
Last night was fun; my outfit contained not one, but two fake stabby items, so I was pleased. The orc sword (in case, I suppose, post-apocalypse Velma had orcs to contend with, but it was the LAST WEAPON left at Target) was almost as big as me, so I had it slung over my back, and I kept stabbing people inadvertently with it.
My constant shoulder and neck pain from the last 4 days was with me despite red wine and lots of tylenol, so I bowed out at about 12:30.
I think today will be grocery shopping. Perhaps I'll make chili, and I really want zuchini bread.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Most elevator buildings in New York have a Shabbat setting. Go on, act surprised.

Nilly!
I woke up inexplicably at 6, but it was a twitchy awake. Spent the next 3ish hours unsuccessfully trying to go back to sleep. Gave up and did a TJs run. Still feeling twitchy. Will go swim in a bit to see if that helps. I NEED to get started on the next phase of the stairs, but I'm having the "ack, new skills! Don't know what I'm doing!" avoidance mode.

Drive-by, as I'm on my way up to the mountains to chill for a couple of days--

Don't Panic, indeed.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Happy Anniversary, House of Reason!
Up later today. Skipping the LAVA salon. Will try to make a garden plan today.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Happy Anniversary Jilli and Pete!

The status is NOT quo.
It is, in fact, their 13th Anniversary! Spooooooky!
Nilly! It's so good to see you posting here.

ita, it sounds like you're having a good time in Vancouver, except for the looming headache. I hope your head decides to behave and that good times continue to be had.
