Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

I wish I could send you a lemon cocktail through the internets, Ginger! I mean, technically those services exist but it wouldn't get to you tonight when you need it most.

I have been adulting this weekend also. I culled a ton of shoes, some in the trash but most donated. I made two trips to donate clothing, although I still need to make one more trip next weekend. I've thrown away two garbage bags of stuff.

I've done laundry and the dishes and gotten groceries. I made a giant pot of soup tonight and have so much soup in the refrigerator. I walked about 21 miles total this weekend. While at a friend's watching hockey yesterday, I even went out on her weird narrow metal balcony to wash her windows because she was too freaked out to do it herself.

I need to cull. Hell, I have 3 boxes of clothes from 5 years ago I still haven't donated. And not because of some attachment, just not gotten to it. I need to do a weekender clothes cull/transition to sloppy projects clothes. And get new un-holey respectable casual tops.

Which is hard because I hit 3 places this morning and I don't see anything I like. I'd like to branch out from plain scoop neck tshirts , but might not be an option. Hell, colors right now, even that's not much of an option...

I will get a bulk trash pickup scheduled for all the broken fans, suckless vacuums and assorted other crap that at least I've migrated to the garage. Not next month, unless I can get one of my neighbors to haul it out-I won't be here, whee!

I can pick up and take to the dump for you! Seeing as I'm retired at the moment.

Nah, you don't have to haul, I just need to request a pickup and put it all out back. I think. Little vague on details.

You totally should work your errand-fu as you wish while you're retired. You're an awesome info consigliere, totally always thought you should parlay that into income.

Thanks, all. I really appreciate hearing from everybody. I made the pitch! Now I have to forget about it and not go crazy until/if I hear from them.

Sheesh, Ginger.

Polgara invited me and Burrell to a clothing exchange thing. It was good to get rid of stuff (yay!) and I picked up an entire new set of clothes in shades of black, white and grey mostly. I am so stinking predictable.

What the hell is it with roofers leaving shit on my roof? And not even my roofers! Next door neighbor had his recoated and they left a coffee cup, squeegee and some roofing material- and that's just what I could see. I have no idea if they left shit on the main roof. If it isn't gone by tonight, I'm gonna ask him to contact them.

Also, listening to them this morning, so effing disorganized.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, I really want to host a clothing swap. My friend who usually does it lives in the far suburbs, and is pregnant, so I want to ask her if she'd mind my taking it on. I should get on that!

Remember my young coworker who died her hair platinum? Yeah, now it just looks like grey/white hair.

Also before I left for work this morning, I ordered an unnecessarily expensive blush from Sephora so I could get free samples of sunscreen. That's not crazy, right? (don't tell me if it is crazy.) Also 8% off via Ebates! It's totally a good deal....

(And of course I mean my definition of "far suburbs" is still on a bus line, so not actually that far...)

My favorite part of your post.
