On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Congrats, Scrappy & good luck, Theo!

It's an indication of the stage I am in in life that I'm excited to go to a hardware store today to buy a moisture alarm and hopefully a rubber mat for my workbench to rest on. And I don't mean that in a bad way. It's just funny.

But first, market, in the drippy balmy 40s°. After the temps last week...

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Rainy 40s feels real good to me!

I am just slightly envious of that workbench, sarameg. Slightly.

... I didn't know they made moisture alarms. I should look into getting one.

(Having a house means never having to ask, 'Whatever will I do with this lovely pile of money?')

Nothing says "it's time to get up" quite like the weather radio.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

yawn. I am at work. my week to have Sat duty. got here just after 6 and will be done in probably another hour. I know it would make sense, since I am already up, to have a productive Sat, but I think I will just go back to sleep. My legs ache something ridiculous, due, I expect, to the weather this week. fuckin muscles.

Heh, the Leak Frog. No doubt Japanese, making disasters more fun since 1945.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Congrats, Scrappy!

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

Timelies all!

Congrats Scrappy!

It's raining pretty hard this morning, so breakfast will be in the hotel restaurant, not at Waffle House. Maybe tomorrow.

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

Congrats, Scrappy! Have you been there a year already? Time flies.

That ceiling and wall mounted cat furniture is genius.

I want to go to Target today, for basically no reason. But I now have a monthly transit pass and no plans for the day, so why not?
