Well, the rooster sounds less than optimal but everything else sounds lovely!
And then you get the SF leg of the trip! This is another of those times I wish SF was right around the corner.
Spike: At least give me Wesley's office since he's gone. Angel: He's not gone. He's on a leave of absence. Spike: Yeah, right. Boo-hoo. Thought he killed his bloody father. Try staking your mother when she's coming on to you! Harmony: Well…that explains a lot.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Apparently they only have one skill, so they just do it ALL DAY.
Cocks. Go figure.
Not to mention the gorgeous back yard/flower garden and random super-friendly (outdoor) cat.
That sounds really amazing (well, not the cat bit, but the general ambiance). Renting cottages can get you a lovely little bubble full of beauty, and you really deserve a good bubble (right about now, but also always).
My ankle is all...up in arms this weekend. I have decided that my body is just hypersensitive and that this isn't related to healing or not, because if so, it's a good two week's worth of regression. So I'm pretending it's sending the same messages as last week, and still doing the same exercises, etc.
But, shit.
My pain psychologist sent me an email telling me about the results of her convo with my pain doctor. I still haven't read it. I don't want to be there.
I am behind on this weekend's pie, and I'm behind on the drawing. I have got to get off this ass.

meara and I learned that the hard way in Mexico.

You want someone to read it first, ita? I make politely ask Stephen do that with emails I'm afraid of.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am working on the assumption that butternut squash is practically pumpkin, and have a pumpkin spice chocolate quickbread in the oven.
Next I have to go do more clearing at my grandmother's. My mother decided to have a yard sale next weekend, but hasn't done any of the actual prep needed for it. Like, we want to sell a chest of drawers that is still full of crap. I feel for her not being able to deal with it, and I am clearly getting all of the benefit of it being done, but I am still a little annoyed with her.

Usually the roosters that crow have a couple hens to lord it over, or another rooster to intimidate. (Chicken-English dictionary: cockadoodle-doo! -> F**k you!) Ones that are by themselves tend to be quieter.

Butternut squash IS practically pumpkin. Though I wonder why we don't ever make butternut squash pie?
We have a rooster as a neighbor, and I didn't realize they just crow all damn day. Apparently they only have one skill, so they just do it ALL DAY.
What brenda said. Yup.

Because butternut squash is a royal PITA.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Around here, the variety of squash called buttercup usually has much better flavor than the sugar pumpkins, so we have shamelessly and with malice aforethought made squash pies. Repeatedly. And for family gatherings.

I thought the canned pumpkin in stores was generally a mix of pumpkin and butternut squash?
Theater people! Does "black box theater" mean anything to you? I'm doing a story on a group buying the armory here in town, with plans to turn it into a theater for both film and live performance, and it mentions "rental space for studios, offices, and black box theater on the ground floor."
