Wishing all of you peace and comfort, Jesse.
That's amazing furniture luck, Zen! Congratulations!
May the refund be swift, Dana.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Okay! So the trip to the airport took maybe an extra 45 minutes because there was an accident that closed all but one lane of the airport access road. I still had time before my flight, so I wasn't worried. And turns out I really didn't need to be worried, because my departing flight is delayed! Enough that I will miss my connection!
So now I am rebooked through Atlanta, and I will arrive home at midnight instead of 7:30. I do not think I will do a lot of work tomorrow. And I also have rehearsal from 7:30 to 10PM. Ha ha ha ha. Ha.

I'm sorry, Jesse.
Congrats on the successful garage sale, msbelle!
Score, Zen!
I need some distraction today myself. Maybe I'll research a compound for Buffistas North. Any place that expects multiple 85+ F days in a row is automatically off the list. My fellow heat-wimp buffistae can gather there and host ski parties in the winter. For example, this lovely 8 bedroom Queen Anne in a northern MI college town, for under half a million: [link]
ETA: Or this, which is less pretty but has a garage: [link]
Today is the last day when the forecast calls for 80+F in my area. Which is a month late, even for central NC. But tomorrow will be cold and rainy—I'm so looking forward to it.
Much non-burn~ma to everyone near the fires. I hope they'll be controlled/out soon.

Yeah, I think you cancel work.
Really need to start this load of laundry.

Went to feed friends' cats. Heard a cat crying. It was OTHER friends's cat, begging to come in ( he's stayed there.) Give him attention, come home.
My cats reenact WW2 at the porch doors. Pooch is now at my door, calmly staring in.
Guess he's bored today ( he has a cat door, he can go home.)

Wow!! That is beautiful.
Yikes, Dana. I hope naps can happen.

I'm sorry, Jesse.
I'm stressed about how much work I need to get done before we go on vacation Thursday. And how incapable à am at working quickly. And everything else I also need to get done. And we're staying with our friends' kids this weekend so I can't just hole up all day today and muscle through some stuff.

I'm sorry about the stress, lisah.
In other news, I just fired off an application for a job in the upper peninsula of MI. Because f*** 80F in October, man.
I mean, I'm not expecting to get it. But it felt good to apply.

I am so sorry, Jesse. Sending love and support to everyone.
I am making chili today, I must be tapping into the hivemind

I made peanut butter cookies, but they are disappointing. Too cakey and soft. I should have made chili.
