Ooh, that is tempting, Scrappy. I had a bookstore dream when I lived in Queens, and moved away instead, but someone else did it! Not a used bookstore, but there were no regular bookstores in the whole vicinity.
I was under the impression that I was your big comfy blanky.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I may start pestering you for excess books.
Funny you should bring that up... Shipping gonna be a thing, tho'.
I've actually been thinking about setting up a half-dozen little free libraries, if I can find rights of way where nobody minds.

Argh. Freaking out about this trip. Leaving in a few minutes. But freaked out I've forgotten something key. (I did nearly forget my work credit card, because I don't usually carry it anymore!) But I'm still feeling super anxious. (OK, partly because, say, I don't know what I'm actually going to be presenting, or what they'll be asking, and when I get back I can't be jet lagged because I'll already have missed half of pride, and also I'll have missed four days of work which will be a lot of emails and and and and....)

Timelies all!
Well, I seem to have lost my cell phone. The last place I know I had it was Macy's on Saturday, because I called Gary from there. I thought I had put it in its usual spot when I got home, but it isn't there, nor is it on the floor or anywhere in the room. I guess I can call Macy's to see if it was turned in, but otherwise....(it's not a smart phone, so I've only lost the contacts.)

You can do it, meara! You know your stuff and everything will be fine when you get back.
Yeah, I'd call Macy's, Sheryl. Good luck!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Scrappy, that sounds like a wonderful idea!

Me too - I've been thinking of setting one up on the edge of my yard by the road. Lots of people from the apartment complex walk by going to the bus stop. It'd be a perfect place for one.
Suzi, congrats on being an $8M badass. You can do it! You know, if you want to.
Hope you find your phone, Sheryl!
meara, you totally got this! It'll all be fine!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Go, Suzi!
You got this, meara!
Scrappy, I'd love to come help set things up when you get to that point!

Storms hit, just enough lagging thunder to make swim dubious, so I gave away the old ac unit and power washed the front porch and steps. And man, that was gross & satisfying.

At least media mail is a lower rate! Sounds like an awesome idea, Scrappy.
Yes, you got this, meara!

I called Macy's, fought my way through the automated system to the area where I was when I last had the phone...and got voice mail. I may try calling tomorrow from work, but if I have no success, I go get another phone.
