YAY Nora!

Trying to decide if I'm going out tonight. Got an invite from friends of a friend. It'd be good for me, but last night was late and I've got to wait for this load of laundry to finish, which I started before I got the invite. We'll see.

ION, I swam 2&1/4 miles today, 81 laps. Well, I did 82 cause my count was off apparently, but that's further than I've done in one go before(normal saturday is 2 miles at 72.) Not great times, but not my worst either. Suspect I might pay tomorrow.

Noisy storm coming in from the west. I thought it was the Grand Prix, but no, that's the other noise....

I made it out for brief errands. I'm really glad this is a long weekend, because by the time I got my day back, everything was off, and I wasn't up to anything other than picking up that one prescription before they unbottled it, and grabbing bread.

Try again tomorrow...

IO9 has an article about sff characters who found success after dropping out of school. If they count the Scoobs as successful, did they leave Dean Winchester out just to taunt me?

Very plausible.

Our town is nuts right now. In addition to the normal "people coming up from the valley for Labor Day" traffic, there's a rodeo and fair down on the reservation, symphony in the park in the major town, and the corn festival in the town to the north. It is basically insane trying to go anywhere or do anything.

The H and I are celebrating this long weekend by both having bad colds. So far, we've slept late, got breakfast, grocery shopped and slounged around in a sickly fashion. based on you guys, I just ordered the top-opening litterbox, though!

We've got a football game.

I'm very jealous.

College move-in here. Everyone on the street is lost and everyone in the grocery store is shopping in a group.

I just half-prepped an eggplant for parm: blanched slices and breaded them, and now they are in the freezer! To be parmed when it is colder. I think I overcooked them, but that should be ok, I think.

Also, of course it's Allston Christmas aka moving day for many many people, but I am resisting walking the streets looking for free stuff.

Deaf preschooler told to change the sign for his name, because his name is Hunter, and the sign for it kinda looks like a gun. (The school district responded in a letter that doesn't seem to me like it clears up anything at all.) [link]
