Calli, my mother buys shirts and stuff from these people. They have parasols, though they're not stylish. [link]

As Hubby always said, it doesn't seem like our species really evolved to live on this planet.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I'm so sorry, Sparky. Be gentle with yourself.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I have not been able to put on pajamas yet because Comcast is supposed to come before 8. This means at 8:01, I get to be very sullen.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Someone hacked my debit card. Thankfully I paid my electric bill with my checking account and so my lights are still on. I was all paranoid driving home that I'd have to beg to turn my power back on.

Parasols are great, Calli! I got mine at the Pirate Festival, I don't know where to get them generally, but I endorse their use for walking in the sun for sure.

Aaaaaalll the parasols! There are some really cute compact ones on eBay. And of course, Umbrellas.net has just about everything. [link]

A neighbor has taken over watching the dog for us -- they just had to put their dog down a few months ago, so I suspect Buddy (K named him immediately, of course) will either go home to his people, or he has found new ones. All of our contact information is still on everything, so we are not quite done, yet. I still don't particularly want to deal with company after all that, but will manage until I can excuse myself and hide in bed with a book.

Oh, Sparky. I know that's hard.

My mother is apparently the recipient of an insurance miracle. The insurance company that totaled out her car offered an amount above the Blue Book value and above comparable used car sales. I told her to cash the check quickly.
