Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Happy birthday, meara!!

Thanks! I've been cleaning like mad, and digging through boxes and bags that I didn't even realize I had to try to find things. And along the way discovered I have several boxes/bags in a closet downstairs that I didn't realize I had never dealt with after moving. Oops. I also have WAAAAAAY too many plugs, cords, adapters, doohickeys, etc, that I don't even know what piece of equipment they were/are for, or what they're supposed to do. Or if I should keep them. Aaaaaaand found a box of photos I didn't realize I hadn't scanned. And I gave the scanner to my parents. Oops. (Sadly, the one infamous photo I wish I had, of me and my bestie at 4 years old, her with block in hand, me with black eye, did not turn up).

And I suspect I am forgetting eighteen different things I need to do or buy or aaaaaah. My head hurts.

Still have a headache myself from the grinder, but going to go swim anyway and pick up some paint on the way home. Exciting!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sorry, Dana. Sometimes staying off Facebook is the right call.

Good luck to your bro, Consuela! My former coworker just got pulled out of Liberia, but he's not a physician.

I also have WAAAAAAY too many plugs, cords, adapters, doohickeys, etc, that I don't even know what piece of equipment they were/are for, or what they're supposed to do. Or if I should keep them.

Yeah, I've been trying to throw those away -- even though I have a basement now! I do not need to fill that basement with things I don't know what they are.

Happy birthday, meara!

Well, and then the other question is, what stuff should I throw away vs am I supposed to/can I somehow recycle or whatever. I feel awful putting all this random crap in a landfill, but...does anyone really need an adaptor for my TI81 calculator? No.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

W-E-E-K-E-N-D

I think I might sit for a bit and have a cup of tea before jumping into Operation Clean All the Things (with a planned sidetrip to Pressure Cook Frozen Meat Boulevard)

ETA: yeah, meara, I want to say I've seen some place that recycles cables and made a mental note because I also have a TON of various cables and chargers that are useless to me, but it was only a mental note and I doubt I can actually come up with real information...

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

Timelies all!

Happy Birthday meara!

Other than the monthly visit to the comic book store, no real plans this weekend.

Pleasurable errands day! I dropped off my sold eBay items and ita's box and stopped by Joann's and got yarn and a new loom and discounted storage bins--hooray for frou frou companies whose bins look like everyone else's and who mark them down drastically when no one wanted to buy the expensive frou frou ones!--and a new, ceramic skull mug.

And I dropped off the key to the storage shed! It's completely done with, I can mark that payment off the monthly list! Yay!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Yay, Connie!

Next task--get the VIN off the '69 Mustang in the backyard so I can give it to the DMV to track down the title. Then call the dentist and find out why they haven't cashed the check that pays them off.
