I took a vacation day so I could visit friends but made the mistake of reading work email in the morning which made me want to punch someone in the throat. I decided that person will just have to wait til Monday. So I did Pilates, showered, packed and hit the road in time to watch the sunset over the Grand Traverse Bay. Since then I've hung out with friends, met their adorable foster baby, and had a soak in the jacuzzi in my room. I plan to watch the sun rise from my bed.
I'm not evil again. Why does everyone think that?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I am planning to cut up and plant the sprouted potato. Though I have no qualms about eating it, too. My coworker wouldn't eat it but didn't want to just throw it away, so she brought it in in case anyone wanted to grow potatoes. (mr. flea: "Your coworker is a silly person.")

Need to hit a gajillion stops today. Sigh.

Timelies all!

Oooooh, the Traverse City area is one of my faves, aurelia! I hope you have a lovely weekend there.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
That sounds fabulous, Aurelia!

Pumpkin is such a BAD CAT! She bolted out as I was getting Loki in and went straight up a tree.THIS is why she's not allowed out. Luckily was able to grab her when she came partway down to take another approach.

I just bought 8 bags of mulch, which is pretty much all that would fit in my car. Now all I have to do is actually use it.

flea, I feel you. Our temp house is fairly clean, but the trust fund gansta wanna-be left trash all over the back porch, and animals got into it. I now have an unfired BULLET sitting on the railing of the back porch YOU FUCKING MORON WHO PUTS UNFIRED BULLETS IN THE TRASH?!
Jesus Christ. The landlord is the nicest guy in the world and this former tenant was straight-up trashy-rich, and used this nice little house in a darling neighborhood as a faux-gangster party house. It's a seriously cute house, and I imagine the neighbors HATED her.
UNFIRED BULLETS. I kind of want her to come back for a couple of things left behind so I can tell her off.

That sounds wonderful, aurelia! Glad throat-punching can wait.
Yay mulch!
I guess I am officially not going to my 25th college reunion in 3 weeks. I was being all indecisive about it - I would like to see the people I was there with and catch up, but there's a whole weekend scheduled by the college and it's all things that probably would be interesting but don't make me think "oh, yes, can't miss that" so I was dithering. Taking the whole weekend seemed excessive, but going that distance just for dinner also seemed silly. Turns out the Shell refinery my dad worked at is having its 100th anniversary celebration that Saturday, also, and I'd rather go to that. I went to the 75th anniversary and I know that was good, and the refinery has impacted my life more than my college did, I think. Also, fewer people asking me what I am up to these days - I have not perfected a succinct response.
So much to do this weekend it's hard to pick where to start. Especially as I slept a long time last night but not, somehow, well.
