Timelies all!
Back from Darkover. Fun, as usual.
Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I'm back home. Waiting for the heat to start actually heating the house. Still kind of recovering from a conversation I had with some family members.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
'Suela, you'll be sure you did the right thing very soon. It will just be her new normal. There are no words to describe the relief of having trained staff handy to take care of things that used to be your responsibility--both that she's better taken care of, with less upset, and that you don't have to do it.
It sucks right now, but very shortly it will be so much better. I wish her and you all speed toward "all better."
What she said, with a reminder that, in the meantime, a Pisco sour can help smooth out the transition.
I got a coupon from BevMo for $20 off $100, so I tried to take care of some holiday booze purchases. I always feel like a bit of lush when I shop at BevMo, and I don't usually buy $100 of booze at once. Today I feel supremely lush-like.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
I am finally in my sanctuary, and man are my cats mad at me. Nunya is tearing up my 300 dollar carpet and Ply is acting rabid and only stopped growling at me when I groveled behind her, on hands and knees, thoroughly the whole apartment and then she deigned to let me give her scritchy scratchies. They are so coming to my parents for Christmas, I don't think any of us will survive otherwise.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Michael's sells wrapping paper, tissue, boxes, tins, bags, and all kinds of containers
OMG, that place is INCREDIBLE. This one is way nicer than the one in Queens, and makes me want to give everyone home made gifts. What, I have no idea (or skill), so probably not actually, but I seriously had to leave before I bought everything. I did get good half-price wrapping paper and ribbon.

Man, this has not been a good past 3 weeks for my friends in the hood: a car took on 6" of water and has been in the shop 3 weeks, car owner has the TG plague, transmission problems for another, puking kid, sick dog, one lost her mom day before TG, outpatient surgery.... Yikes.
