I'm watching on CNN, too. Is the small wave to the right of center Nyad?
Zoe: Is there any way I'm gonna get out of this with honor and dignity? Wash: You're pretty much down to ritual suicide, lambie-toes.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I had zero idea where she was going to or from, but as soon as I got the idea someone was distance swimming I thought Cuba to Miami was the best. I wonder if my subconscious fed that to me...
Does she have a message of some sort, or she just picked a nearby place?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I think I did the fabric softener thing and it was pretty easy and fast, but I only had two half-walls to do (paneling along the bottom half, the breakfast nook part of the kitchen). Trying one room and seeing how it goes sounds like a good approach, you really can't know what you are dealing with until you start in.

Because books.
Yeah, we took down wallpaper from probably the '50s once, and it felt like actual paper. It was a mess, because it really needed to be scraped. But I've pulled down other paper that came down in long strips, as others have described -- usually newer, slightly more vinyl-y paper.
