Yikes, Sparky! 30 hours is a long-ass time, especially with a little one!
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
As someone allergic, even the words "wool socks" make my little tootsies itchy.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
The only way my place stays at all clean is the cleaning service. Their impending arrival motivates me to clear up the clutter they don't deal with. So once a week, my place is clean and neat! The closets and drawers may be stuffed with crap I need to deal with, but at least it isn't spread all over every horizontal surface. A couple times I've gotten all guilty about using the service and vowed to be an Adult and keep my own place clean, but ... I don't. I'm lazy, I hate to clean, and who cleans the place is less important than that it gets cleaned.

(Best organization tip I've ever recieved but have a really hard time following is to get your stuff organized BEFORE you buy anything new to help you get organized. Shopping for organization stuff gives a totally false sense of accomplishment.)
Dammit, that's where I keep going wrong.
But the House of Reason is about to go into a massive bout of cleaning and reorganizing, because the kittens are going to be released from their room at the end of this week. Kittenproofing the house is like organizing, right?

Damn, sarameg, what a weekend of suck. Good fortune getting everything back to normal quickly! Glad Loki is home now, too. Leo once spent five hours outside and I was freaked.

Because books.
Oh, Sparky. UGH. A generator sounds like an excellent Christmas gift.
Did people know they still make SportSacs?! I didn't. And now I ... kind of want another one.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I had a dream the other night that someone gave me a SportSac! I had totally forgotten about that until just this moment. (I have never particularly wanted a SportSac, so who knows what that was about.)

K had a great time walking around with the lantern in the dark!
My mother's general-use purse is often a SportSac because she likes that they don't weigh anything.

not your mom's socks.
Sarameg, I hope your power goes back on soon and that the day gets better.
Sparky, your 'share' families seem a tad overprivileged. Are you certain you can't drive the cups to their house as well?
Parents are still without power. HKF and DH are in Ohio, and I am enjoying the quiet and missing them.
There was more, but I lost it. For some reason, I needed to be on goodreads today, so if you see a friend req from me, that's why.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yikes, Sara!
I had a consultation with a vascular surgeon this morning about getting a portacath put in. I really really don't want to get one, but the nurses are nagging, and it does make logical sense. I just don't want something stuck in me for years.
The doctor was way cool, though. And his resident was dreamy.
A bit late, but I noticed that FEMA has an Android app (and probably an iPod one) that runs you through preparing an emergency kit and other things like setting up meeting places. I am very unprepared.
