Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

If the HOA or whoever can get into your place, I would just protect all my stuff and get on the flight. Riot act as needed.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Oh le n, what a pain. I hope it gets fixed quick so you don't have to stress about the flight.

These Los Angeles winters are just too much for me, that's why we're going to Florida in a week.

ND made me laugh.

I thought Brian Boitano wasn't "officially" out so much as he never was closeted. Which is how I feel about a lot of famous people, like Jodie Foster. I thought she had been out since college.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Yeah, I think it must not have been official, because I had the same reaction as bon when they said there were two out gay people in the delegation, and also Brian Boitano.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Thank you for sympathies and suggestions all! I bought the "Dexter special" at Lowe's:

2 tarps, duct tape, towels, a bucket, gloves and bricks. I put down the new towels and have laid out the tarps to tape them together.

That's a pretty significant leak. What's the weather prediction?

Rain tonight, then sunny for the next 7 days or so.

The drip has slowed for now, but I am not sure what it will do when the rain start again (at least a drizzle is expected).

Tonight I found part of a mouse in my hallway. Head, shoulders and one leg, for the curious. I have no idea where the rest is. Ugh.

At least they're catching them, I guess. They've gotten lots of praise. Well Clio has, because I'm pretty sure she's the hunter. But she still won't give up the location of the rest of the mouse.

And, I've checked my bed already.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Tonight I found part of a mouse in my hallway.

A few years ago, we were participating in our neighborhood's program to give people light bulbs for their porch lights, with the idea that houses with porch lights on after dark are less likely to be burglarized (though I don't know if that's true, and that's not my point anyway).

We found on the steps of one house -- just a mouse head. It was like a tiny Godfather tableau for, say, a dollhouse.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

My mom once found a headless mouse laid out on a stepping stone in her front yard like a sacrifice. Cats have creepy aesthetics.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Same mouse. Got splinched trying to apparate.
