My dad is awesome. Felicia Day was doing a book signing tonight in the little bookstore that's like five minutes from my parents' house, and he went and waited on line for an hour to have her sign a book for me. (He is a fan of hers, but there's no way he would have gone out and waited on that line, especially on a work night, if he wasn't getting the book for me.)

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I fill up when it gets to a quarter tank. Hubby always said, "But you've got a quarter of a tank, you're fine!" Don't care.
During hurricane season, I try not to let the tank go under half filled. This year I'm not doing too great at that.

There was one time a few years ago that I ran out of gas while I was driving, and I've been pretty paranoid about refilling it once it gets down to a quarter of a tank ever since.

I am on hold with Amazon. Once I'm done with that, I'm not doing anything but drinking and watching stuff like Last Week Tonight on YouTube.
Edit: $10 knocked off the order!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
The last week tonight last week was pretty awesome, for what it's worth

You are correct, and watching it while drinking a beer was an excellent use of my time.

watching it while drinking a beer was an excellent use of my time.
Good call.
Coincidentally, my "buy gas now" light came on when I was on my way home tonight, but it went off again so I just came on home instead of going directly to a gas station because I live on the edge like that. Crossing my fingers that I will have enough gas to get to the nearest station in the morning.
No car fires witnessed.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Home again, weary and ready to crawl into the old familiar bed and sleep for a week.
It's so ridiculously good to scroll through the last hundred posts and see all the news of new young humans and the big humans welcoming them. So happymaking!

Yay new teacup! Boo running out of gas, but yay not being the car flambé? Boo work stuff.
I told work I wasn't feeling well (left out the "mentally") part and quit at 2pm to pick up a friend who is in town for an interview tomorrow. She and I hung out at the beach and then at my place, and it was very nice. I'm crossing my fingers she gets the job!
I may very well continue to be "sick" tomorrow--I have 11 PTO days right now.
