This is the first time I'm trying to find flights across the country for Thanksgiving, and prices really suck.
Do I wish I was somebody else right now. Somebody not... married, not madly in love with a beautiful woman who can kill me with her pinkie!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
New fridge arriving no later than Friday, and hopefully Thursday if we were pathetic enough to the sales guy. Now we're playing the games "Hey, Did You Remember That Was in the Freezer?" and "Guess We're Making Lasagna with Many Different Meats."

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I don't know what to say about that, Sue.
Back into the usual routine today.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I originally wasn't going to bother voting next week; it's all local stuff, and my local votes liberal and liberaler, so no worries about unexpected Rand Pauls getting in. But then an incumbent got busted for massively drunk driving (way more than twice the legal limit) and has refused to bow out. I think his judgement is suspect, so I'll be going to the polls to vote against him.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
We get to vote by mail this year. That makes me happy.

I'm wearing my I Voted sticker. This should come with magic powers to erase political ads from media I'm consuming.
When I went to the hardware store to get drip pans for the stove, I saw they have a massive decked out Christmas tree display in the front of the store--with Christmas music! Fortunately the music was only in that section, or I'd have gone to a manager. Seriously, I understand that there are people engineering their Christmas displays now, and while it irks me I can avert my eyes. But I'd like to avoid losing the Drummer Boy game before Halloween.

Because books.
Okay, this Justin Trudeau excitement has jumped the shark
I love that his name in the book is "Dustin Waterhole."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oy -- I went to CVS to get a flu shot, and it took fucking forever! And I wonder if it would have been faster to go to the Minute Clinic vs. the pharmacy -- I didn't realize they were totally separate until I had already been waiting a while. So I missed my CSA pickup by like 1 minute. I actually saw the truck driving away.
So I guess you win some, you lose some.

Shrift, I feel you. Bought my TG tickets last month and that's pretty much the most it has cost ever. And I still have to do Xmas, but those are always cheaper.
My arm is sore from the flu shot, but I was in& out in 5 minutes, so there's that. I'm also getting new insurance policy #s for the next 2 months because of the company split. And the HSA/FSA cards are frozen for 2 weeks while this happens. No way this can possibly go wrong.... Last year when they switched plans they "lost" my money for a couple months.
