Noah and Grace have had high fevers, about that high and it is terrifying. I remember Cuddy on House getting into shower holding a kid, and I've felt like doing that. But an ER is a problem all its own, especially for a tubie kid like Grace, and, again, unless I've tried meds at home I'm not willing to go.

But I have a higher tolerance for medical weirdness than many.

Do you ever find yourself with tastes that surprise you? I keep buying slightly shiny gold "silk" curtains, when I would not have said that was what I am looking for.

Relatedly, I have ironed and hung up all my new cheap curtains! I may or may not need one more sheer. Hmmm.

Related question about my grandmother's curtains: I'm inclined to toss the sheers but donate the actual curtains. Does that make sense? Will anyone want the curtains?

Jesse, I would donate the curtains.

So Kat, somehow the fridge didn't go yet. But I think my FiL may have claimed it? Not sure.

I am so not prepared for Xmas. Hard to imagine being ready for the day when it finally gets here.

It sounds reasonable? Donating them all together as a set might also make sense. I feel like a bag full of curtains is something I've sold while volunteering at a thrift store. Or maybe at a garage sale. The point being, someone might want them, I guess.

Depending on the cloth, people who make costumes adore curtains. "I saw it in the window and had to have it."

Is there any organization near you that helps settle displaced or newly arrived families, Jesse? A full set of nice curtains might be appealing to them.

Took me a minute to get it, but even the cats from Two Lumps listen to Welcome to Night Vale (well, at least Benny does): [link]

I was wondering what that was about.

Oh, that's a good idea, Trudy. There is a place like that my mother has been taking stuff. So I can put this on her to-do list instead of mine!

Munroe's lurking again. [link]
