Huh? What? I don't understand people. I saw someone on Facebook post a thingy about the lovely symbolism of the Confederate battle flag and how it represents Christ's Blood and a struggle for liberty and how beautiful it was for Southerners- to which I responded, "yeah, the liberty to have slaves, not really what Jesus was about, here's a link about "yes, the Civil War was really about slavery" and a Bible verse. I expected "nuh uh, totally states' rights and righteousness, never meanin' no harm, only racists think it's racist". Instead the person said, "I knew you'd get to the truth". My head hurts.

Three large things of Christmas decorations gone. 1 free shelf in my garage. Nothing else big, but people are just now getting out of church, so it might get busy.

Timelies all!

Eating lunch, then back to the con.

Loki, it is really too warm, and more importantly, humid, to lie on me right now. Fans and not moving are all that makes it bearable.

Got the soda on the list, but I think she didn't do the math right. There's 130 people attending, and she said 1 bottle per 5 people, but only listed 15 bottles....which didn't occur to me until I got home. So I'll buy more later this week.

WS... what? Just... what. With some people it feels like we're having two entirely different conversations. So bizarre.

((Strix)) that sounds agonizingly difficult.

So, I should have made some actual plans with some actual people this weekend. Sometimes I feel like my mother uses up all of my social energy, but with her out of town, now I have extra! Ah well.

I have gotten some good stuff done, at least. Just brought two bags to the Goodwill and picked up three books and a pair of pants for my father. I love Goodwill for things that are non-urgent - I just go in every week or so and see if they have what I want. On the current list: raincoat, dad pants. I have odd requirements for both.

Garage Sale day 1 is done. Last person who came as I was packing things back into garage bought the most stuff.

mostly big stuff sold which makes me so happy.

2 end tables
1 desk chair
reindeer yard decoration
2 boxes of candy cane yard decorations
18 skeins of yarn
11 ceramic tiles
a bike

then like 4 little things.

Not bad for last minute and only 2 signs and a craigslist ad. Fingers crossed some people will come early tomorrow and clear out enough to really make a dent in the garage, regardless there will be loads going to thrift stores next week.

I made a pitcher of sun tea while out and read fic, so I even feel like it was a semi normal weekend day. AND I manages to get in 5000 steps basically in my driveway.

Now I have showered and have my feet up. I believe some media consumption is in my future.

It is very depressing how many cubic feet of stuff I pull out of this house and how little difference it seems to make. But there are differences: I can get to corners of the house I couldn't get to before, I can see what's under other stuff, but damn, so much left to do.

A successful day, msbelle!
