And as is so often the case, I complain here and things get fixed. The asshole has finally agreed to send me the pair that he owes me and I located one of the pairs I have. It doesn't get me out of the house now, but maybe if I wear them for a couple of hours while napping, I can get out tonight. Sorry to be so whiny all the time.
I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Thanks, Connie. I should probably spend the next month making sure people have to deal with me as little as possible.

askye, it's good to hear things are improving in your life. That bit about the vacation/PTO/etc. sounds like a real hassle.
Hil, I've always wanted to go to Fallingwater; you are so lucky. I've been on the official tour at Taliesin, it's relatively close to Madison. I love the way Wright's designs look, but his reliance on concrete as a building material in places where it really isn't meant for means that the infrastructure of many of his buildings sucks. There were tons of steel support rods that had to be placed in strategic locations inside Taliesin.

But what did he get for you? And when did he get another wife?

Dear toilet,
Completely breaking on us right now is not an option.
No love,

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Ugh, sj.
Someone in my neighborhood is burning wood or something, and my sinuses are extremely unhappy about this.

My feet are still huge. I know this is a normal part of the third trimester, but I need to be able to leave the house.
Thanks, Hil. This has just been the year of everything breaking in our house. It's workingish for now, but the plumber has been called.

There are so many people with fireplaces and wood burning stoves in my neighborhood. It's terrible for my asthma.
