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.
Okay, this Justin Trudeau excitement has jumped the shark
I love that his name in the book is "Dustin Waterhole."
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.
Burrell, maybe something like these chocolate squares?
Good point, JZ. My daughter looked over the supplies I bought and gave it the OK but made it clear she thought I needed to get some Ghirardelli or other high end, non-slave labor chocolate for the house at the very least, if not the T-or-Ters.

That is just wrong. Hilarious I'll give you, but wrong.

Oy, that's rough. Thanks for boning us, airlines! It shouldn't cost as much as a ticket to London to fly the Sunday after Thanksgiving.
I ended up with a goofy schedule and I'm flying into one airport and out of another just to get the ticket price down.
The worst thing about the cost of airfare is that the despite the money the experience is always somewhere between uncomfortable and unpleasant to downright awful. I don't think I've ever enjoyed an airplane ride in my life.
Yeah, the only enjoyable flight I've had was way back in the 90s when my SiL was a flight attendant and I used one of her companion tickets to fly to California and was upgraded to first class, which was really dang swanky. And boozy.
