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

Teppy, I met another of Tim's relatives at work yesterday, a young teen named Louis and his parents. Louis is Chloe's cousin - their dads are brothers. #they'reeverywhere

They ARE everywhere! Did you tell them you knew us, or was there no non-awkward way to do that? In any case, the parents own the company Tim works for. And we should be seeing them later today. (Also, their family has really good DNA, because it's creepy how much Doug [Louis's dad] and Lou [Chloe's dad] look alike. They're all that way.)

I talked about Casper knowing Chloe, because that's easier to explain (and it turns out Louis attended the kids' school for a year, so we gossiped about the teachers.)

Doug, like Lou, is unbelievably gregarious. They're the nicest family in the world.

Yikes, Lee, I'm glad you're okay!
I'm lost in the wilds of Home Depot kitchen planning. Someone take the hand-scraped faux-distressed bamboo flooring away from me...

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
But bamboo flooring is an excellent choice. Durable, beautiful, and sustainable! (Memories of searching for flooring come rushing back...*twitch*)
After careful self-experimentation, I've determined that prescription diuretics make my feet and hands swell and give me neuropathic pain in my feet. Having discontinued them, the swelling has gone away, I can walk again, and the pain is receding away from my knees and out through my toes, leaving the way it came in. They also gave me horrible acid reflux, which is also gone now. I can't wait to tell my doctor that the diuretic worked in exactly the opposite way it was supposed to. He already thinks I'm an alien.

I am doing absolutely nothing today. Well, ok, I went to market, will do a quick run to buy my friend beer, swim and then go to his house for dinner, but other than that, I am parking on the couch. The weather is demotivational.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Tartlets...tartlets...the word has lost all meaning...
I am always so disappointed when other people don't say that!

Man, my parents' bamboo floor looks like crap now. The finish is scraped up, I think, so you can't get it super clean-looking.

Ooh, noted. Good to know!
After I put the expensive no-VOC vinyl plank flooring in my kitchen and one bath, and then discovered it shouldn't be cleaned with bleach solution, I felt like a dummy. You're supposed to buy the companies' special cleaning formula! The hell I will. I'll clean it the same way I clean any other vinyl floor, and if it disintegrates, I'll replace it with the regular vinyl sheet flooring I wish I'd picked in the first place. I told my sister I was tempted to just put vinyl sheet flooring throughout my whole house and be done with it. She sympathized.
