msbelle, good of you to help that lady out. May your garage sale get lots of $$ and get rid of lots of unwanted stuff. Sorry Mac didn't want Thai food with you.
Calli, pretty lights!
I'm adopting the Spanish custom of rising early to accomplish stuff, a long nap in the afternoons which are unbearable without AC, and puttering some more after the heat of the day. Actually, I seem to be getting enough sleep and have more energy to do things than I did trying to soldier on through the afternoons.
This is my natural daily rhythm. I can stay up late and get up early, but I hate having to be awake and functional during the heat of the day.
My sister and I have culled out three big bags of clothes and another couple bags of other stuff that's going to Goodwill tomorrow, and packed up a bunch of things that can be returned for $$. A pair of boots going back to Duluth Trading means I "made" $145 this weekend!
I also pick blue, Burrell.
New York people and non-New York people, what do you think I'm saying when I say "take a car to the airport"?
New Tork adjacent here. I hear that as "hire a driver to get me to the airport." More as in, hiring a car service, than grabbing a taxi.
And now I realize I think grabbing a taxi is hailing one, not calling one! Random stuff in my head.

Not being able to call for a taxi in NYC is still bananapants to me.
In New York, a car service. In Rochester, confusing, but probably that you would pay to park at the airport, but were saying it weird.
ETA In Rochester, you can only call a cab, you can't hail one. My BFF's husband, when deep in his alcoholism (he has been sober for 10 years now) somehow hailed a cab in Rochester to take him home from the hospital in a hospital gown, and she refused to pay them It was horrible at the time, but funny now- I don't even know how he did it!

Ha! I'm sure it wasn't funny at the time, but it made me laugh. Yeah, if I were her I'd probably refuse too.
Wow, that's like the definition of comedy = tragedy + time.
I made two phone calls. I would like to nap now.
Just FYI, appropo to no discussion, ever, I joined Linked In probably in a previous century. I have lost both login and password, and LI won't let me unsubscribe unless I'm logged in, and won't give me a new password unless I'm logged in, and so, your invitations aren't exactly being ignored, but they will undoubtedly go unanswered until Linked In itself collapses in a massive internet collapse and inversion and is lost in time.
End trans.
People are viewing our house again tomorrow to choose between making an offer on it or another one in our complex. So tomorrow morning, I'd appreciate it if everyone could please direct vibes at these people so they choose the right house.
(Our house.)
May the other house have an inexplicable invasion of noisy starlings just outside the master bedroom window.
