Riley: Oh, yeah. Sorry 'bout last time. Heard I missed out on some fun. Xander: Oh yeah, fun was had. Also frolic, merriment and near-death hijinks.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I'd accept that analogy, Connie.

Sheryl, has TLG been sleeping in the traditional bureau drawer till the crib arrived? We had a borrowed bassinet for StE, which he hated. He much better liked the wide open spaces of the crib. StY, on the other hand, wanted to be swaddled tight and tucked in close with blanket rolls. True personality indicators.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Beverley,

No, we have a pack-n-play Gary's dad got for us when we got back to Maryland.

That was very nice of him. I didn't really expect you guys to use a bureau drawer. It's just the cliche image from old movies and tv.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

M slept in a sock drawer for his first 2 nights, since the baby furniture delivery people messed up and didn't deliver anything on time.

We have my old crib that my Grandpa made for me, so we're okay for the first few months, at least.

Heading out of the city, first hit a road closure on the main bottleneck due to an accident and then mysterious parking lot on 95S. Barely made my hair appt. took twice as long. Coming back, fucked up construction coming into the city+ traffic for a 1Direction concert meant an epic detour through southwest Balt via the protest routes. Took 3x as long as it should. While the detour was interesting (hadn't been that way in a while, ) I'm never leaving the city again.

Things done today: Cleaned the toilet some, felt disgusted with myself on the state thereof. Did a cautious drain volcano on the tub drain with baking soda and vinegar, very cool, must not get carried away with basic chemistry. Cleaned the hair trap for said tub drain, was grossed out but filled with schadenfreude for what housemate will be faced with when he has to do all his cleaning himself.

He does do some cleaning, and I'd rather clean stuff myself than be a nag. I just indulge in pre-emptive gloating.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I finally got the shovels and rakes and other implements of destruction out of the backseat! Did not buy art, but looked at a lot, and did buy a case of wine that I probably don't need, but it's wine it'll keep. Also a pound of decaf coffee beans which took visiting three different coffee shops. Tired now.

Damn, I missed the protest marches today by just barely (I was pretty much driving the route they took.) Though at that point in my trip, I might've started banging my head on the steering wheel, even though I think it's awesome.

My MP just tweeted this... [link]

I think she secured my vote in the upcoming election.
