Dana, I'm sorry. That's completely mind-boggling.
It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh no, Dana, boooooo!
Ugh, Strix. I know where you're at, and it sucks. But it is such a relief knowing everyone is safe, right?

Dana, Strix, a whole lotta sympathies your way.
I bought more paint. I took in the dried up quart with a label:mountain getaway. Vaguely remembered adding white to it when I did the massive patching a few years ago. Consulted with Ace guy-from Alabama!- went with one shade lighter on the card: white linen. A touch lighter, but the right base tones. I may still end up painting all the walls in the front room to freshen them up (after I do some more patching) but the upstairs? Naw. You really can't tell as I did the whole wall(s) so it just changes at the corner seam. Then I just need to redo the baseboard trim upstairs, install new ceiling trim by stairs, and finish my faux grate access panel.
I need another shower before bed. I'm sticky and itchy.

I made it home.
I'm waiting for them to deliver my bag sometime tonight.

See, I said delayed, not lost. Keep shirt hope alive!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
They haven't delivered it yet, dammit.
Those are some fancy shirts!
Probably won't get it until tomorrow. If ever. Probably got stolen by sneaky shirt goblins.

I should be asleep, but the painting rush fucked me up. But did allow for me to chase down a squirrel: holy fucking shit, my workplace has raised $19k and counting for a member of housekeeping staff whose contract doesn't have really any leave benefits outside basic sick. He'll probably be out 4 months, this is huge. There's also an underground movement to get him hired main contract under facilities if his current company won't maintain his employment after his leave ends.
Which should be the plan for all staff, from tenured to housekeeping,but babysteps.

Tonight I went to K-Mart to buy some sneakers and a scrub brush, and the woman in front of me at the checkout counter bought $104 worth of cat food. I didn't even know cat food came in 40 lb. bags!

Our wings are not tired.
Oh, Dana. I am sorry.
Um, that is a lot of cat food. I actually bought some a couple days ago. The next door neighbor moved away and I think abandoned their 2 outdoor cats. Grandson said he was taking them, but I haven't seen him. I moved their bowls from the front of the house to the side between our houses to transition them to my house if needed. They have been eating the food, but haven't come to say hi yet. We'll see what happens.
