We're staying on the Executive level at our hotel, and so far I've chatted with Gigi Edgley and only realized it was her after we got off the elevator, saw Lani John Tupu and James & Sean Gunn, and passed Karl Urban in the hallway as he was coming out of his room.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
shrift, if by any chance you see (or saw) a guy dressed as the Riddler, with the big gold question-mark staff that has a gold brain on it...I know that guy. It was part of a group thing, IIRC.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Well dang, shrift! That'll make the event more interesting.

Oh Burrell, I am so sorry.
K's been sick which is not the best because of the 4 day weekend. Noah's been up and down today and I just can't. I restricted him from playing outside and from screens. Now I'm exhausted.
Next weekend, I am doing a big grocery run/meal-making situation. Every meal I am planning will be crockpot-able. It's running the gamut from potato soup to bacon wrapped chicken with rosemary (and a hoppin' john in between). If any LAista wants to join me, let me know and I'll get more groceries if you'll bring Ziplocs for yourself and split some of the grocery bill.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
AT some point finishing some of the work of clearing out shit has to translate to a feeling of relief, right?
Probably. I know my dad finally got there with clearing out his brother's stuff. Everyone is different, but he was in a similar state to where you are now with it. Once he gave the landlord the keys back and could tell himself he never had to go back to that apartment, that went a long way.
Wow, shrift, how exciting!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I don't like flea's house thing! It does not sound like good juju to buy a house in poor repair. I just got done sending an email to my sellers to figure out some weird issues (why would an HVAC grille seem to screw from the attic?), so they're not all bad!

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

I don't think I can help with blown fuse without more information.

The plot thickens! My sister brought my dad over with his voltmeter (he lives in assisted living! Why does he still have a voltmeter!) and we tested the fuse box, and-- it's dead. There's another fuse box somewhere, but god knows where. Probably in the crawlspace. Damn it. I don't know where else it could be...

Consuela, do you have overhead or underground lines? If you know where service comes into the house you might be able to trace it that way.
