Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Brava, aurelia! It's about time!
I love my Dad: he paid for all my new glasses (I had new lenses put in my backup frames and my sunglasses), so I took him to lunch. And then I went to the home show, which was a waste of time: a couple dozen vendors with no real displays except for the hot tub guys, and at least half a dozen home solar vendors. Which I don't need. Nobody had kitchen displays, sigh.
And now I'm going to take a nap. Yay for lazy(ish) Saturday afternoons.

Hurray, aurelia! And serious congrats, I'm glad they came to their senses.

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

Congrats, Aurelia!
Fingers crossed I have a better evening tonight than last night. In addition to feeling stuffed up (I can breathe fine but my ear is full of fluid!), I felt awkward and lonesome, and danced not at all (I left early, and most of the evening was watching competitions, but still). Hoping I can stay up later tonight, and dance more.

I bought a used book online, it was really cheap and a book Everyone was talking about last year, but it reeks of patchouli. Can I ever get it out?
I didn't know there was new Tom Robbins book published last year.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Congratulations, aurelia!
I just checked a couple of bookish places online, and the least-damaging bad smell solution seems to be sprinkling the book with baking soda, putting it in a bag for 24 hours, and then shaking and dusting it out; the soda should absorb at least enough of the smell to let you read the book. (Alternatively, another site suggested putting the book in the freezer, but I am highly suspicious of any Joey Tribbiani-approved method of book maintenance.)
