Around here if you leave anything decent on the curb, someone will take it. Leave it out there for a while.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
We're in a gated community, so general curb scavenging is not an option. My vote is that we just load it in the cars and take several trips to the nearest recycling center.
I don't know if they trash guys would take it, but they picked up this morning and won't be back until Monday.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Happy Birthday, Kate!
Five minutes or less tasks, kitchen: wipe down lower cabinet fronts, clean out the toaster crumb tray and counter behind the toaster, clean the outside of the range hood, clean the gaskets on the fridge and freezer, clean the facings inside the fridge and freezer (makes you feel all virtuous when you haven't *actually* cleaned out the fridge or freezer), if you have a lidded trashcan, scrub the lid, wipe down the outside of the can. Polish the faucets and base, if there is one, wipe down the backsplash. Wipe clean the knife block or the outside of the spoons & spatulas jar, if yours is on the counter. Better yet, empty, wash and dry before restoring tools. I usually do one or another of these while waiting for the coffee to brew.

Hmm. It's October 24th, and while it's possible, I'm unlikely to be employed before Thanksgiving.
Should I try NANOWRIMO this year? It's probably my only chance until I retire...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ohhh. That's a huge bummer. At least as far as getting rid of shit. Me, I'm worried about calling the city for Large Trash Pickup (TV, treadmill, broken vacuum cleaner...) because you have to do it a day in advance, and I'm afraid all the stuff will be gone before they get there. I guess they must be used to that, though.

Do it, Consuela. Even if you just set a specific goal rather than a whole novel.
Actually, I might do that, too. Hmm.
Happy birthday, Kate!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Happy birthday, Kate!
There is a woman on this episode of Family Feud whose name is Malaise.
Ha!
Ouch, ita. Yeah, that's all I got.
Dana, I would see what Freecycle can do today and take the rest to recycling tomorrow.

Go for it!
It's going to be National Revise a Novel Month for me.

Kate, Happy birthday! I *could* do Nano, but I've got to have wisdom teeth out on the tenth(Blech!Also, kinda scary, even though I only got two) and I don't know how much writing I could do that week, and I've already tried it twice and never really got anything I used.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
NaNoWriMo is too much pressure for me.
