I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

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

Five loads of laundry washed AND put away (plus the three clean loads that have been sitting in baskets since they came out of the dryer, also put away), bringing home yet again the COMPLETE DISARRAY of my present wardrobe organizational system. But I can't get to fixing that until after I have the garage ready for a new laundry sink. Priorities.

I was feeling bad about all the stuff that didn't get done today (there is always a lot, just because there is so much that needs doing, but the urgent drives out the important), but that's not insignificant.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

One of the bulldog puppies is sleeping onhisback, splayed out. It is so cute!

I fixed a broken chair leg (they make metal mending brackets just like I imagined for fixing this! IN BRASS! Better than I imagined! I was so excited in the hardware store, it was ridic) and three loads of laundry this weekend and no sewage line stoppages.

Now it is foggy and warm enough that the ice in everyone's downspouts is melting and crashing down with a great degree of cat-alarming frequency. Hopefully they get free enough (mine was solid ice yesterday) to make it through the next big freeze. Brought the borrowed ladder inside.

Also, not sneezing. This is HUGE. It might've been the chlorine in the pool (it's been too high since thursday at least, but much better tonight) and the weather, I don't know. I'm just glad my eye is no longer puffy and pouring out tears. It was almost pinkeye puffy, but not pinkeye.

Hooray for flowing sewage line and not sneezing!

Oooh, coolness. Jesse, not sure if this is something you might find useful, but. Cool camping photos from UVM in the early 1900s. [link]

hip deep in pie

Well shit. the dangers of having my iPad beside my bed. I woke up, checked my email, and there was one from the OPCW. They're going to request hiring another in the same position, and would I be interested in being considered? They're not offering me anything right now. But it's a possibility again. What a roller coaster.

Sue, that's a roller coaster I'd like to try. They clearly thought highly of you!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Weather, man. The snow is basically sublimating into the air it's so warm, which means low-hanging fog everywhere. And then tonight it's supposed to drop to something ridiculous like -8?
