Did I scare Becky away with the fact that we live within blocks of each other? I promise I'm an introverted hermit.
Y'all, my tree damage makes me want to cry. I'm thinking at least 1/3 of the remaining branches will need to go.
Wesley: All right. I'm going to let you all in on something you may have trouble comprehending. I assure you however-- Gunn: Vampires are real. Wesley: I was telling!

Remember how I said the office cat did a cannonball into her water dish last night? Guess who forgot to take the roll of paper towels out of the office before shutting her into it? I returned at lunch time today to discover shredded paper bits EVERYWHERE!
I think this cat is auditioning for her own comedy movie franchise.

Suzi, I saw. I'm so sorry. I'm sure it'll bounce back, but still hard to see.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I gave up on Marie Kondo when I was reading the introduction to one of her books, and she bragged about using a frying pan as a hammer & her headphones turned way up as speakers (because neither her hammer nor her speakers had given her joy, so she got rid of them). Just, no. My tools & electronics might not give me joy, but I am a firm believer in the right tools for the job.

Well, my hockey team lost so now I'm on the way to Target to buy a present for my niece's 3rd birthday.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I will grant that whacking things with a frying pan would likely bring joy to a lot of people, but I'm unconvinced it would be long for giving joy in its core frying pan-related functions after that.

Back when platform shoes were big in the 80s, I used mine as a hammer. I didn't do a lot of hammering. They worked great, and I didn't need a place to keep a hammer.

Yes, I need to look through Tom's back catalog for gifts... for me.
Yup. Maybe for other people, too, we'll see.
I broke a cast iron frying pan using it to hammer tent poles into hard ground once upon a time. Hole right through the center. I actually kept it for a while as, like, found art because that is my aesthetic. Hung it on a wall with a nail through the hole. Lost it in one of the involuntary purges o the 90s, I think.
I am having trouble comprehending that her hammer didn't give her joy.
Taxes filed. Mine are not complicated, the hard part is finding (or keeping track of when they come in but I failed at that big time this year) all the supporting documents. I never find one expected 1099-DIV, but it wouldn't have been for much money anyway, if it exists, so I'm not gonna worry about it.
