Okay, I just ordered flowers for the funeral, also online. If I didn't have to take the kitten to the vet, I wouldn't have to talk to a human other than Tim today.
Zoe: Jayne. This is something the Captain has to do for himself. Mal: No! No, it's not!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yikes, smonster! Stay safe.
Steph, that is 100% the right call. And you are 100% correct that most normal people will not give it another thought. Maybe you catch some grief from your dad, but you can handle that.

Well, thanks to a short-lived and quite large employee discount, I purchased a Dyson vacuum cleaner. Kind of nice timing since our current vacuum cleaner isn't in great shape. I keep having to take it apart and fix it. I'm curious to see how well it works.

Our wings are not tired.
Yay new vacuum.
My dryer decided to quit today, on cleaning person day of course. So DH took the clothes to the laundry and dried them, but brought them home all jumbled in the basket!! So yeah, next thing on my list is folding wrinkled clothes.

I totally want a Dyson. Even though we only have carpet in the bedroom. #DreamBig
I forgot that the registration for both cars has to be renewed, so I ran out and did that at the world's fastest BMV. So I had to interact with people sooner than I thought, but that was an easy errand. I also picked up my antibiotic, so sinus infection, begone!
Now I hafta finish some work before I take the kitten to the vet.

Report in on the ease of use and efficacy of the Dyson, Gud. At the moment we're using H's shop vac because it has more pull than the upright we've been using. Frankly, I want to rip out all the carpeting and vinyl tile and go hardwood through the whole house. Then between steam and swiffer I can keep us mostly clean and allergen free. Unfortunately, this plan requires more money than we have (ETA) to spend on a project like this.

I thought my vaccuum cleaner was finally dead, but I started to take it apart and I found a cat toy clogging it up. Now it's back to like, even if it won't stay upright on it's own anymore. I still need a new one eventually, but not right away.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
That sounds like a good decision, Steph. Before I saw your post, I was going to suggest just having Tim go and say that you weren't feeling well but you send your regards, which would be completely true.
I'm trying to decide whether to go to Pride. "I ought to go" and "Too many people" are warring in my brain. I'm thinking maybe I'll just go to one of the smaller events, like the Hairspray movie in the park tonight, and skip the actual parade part.
