It's amazing how much better my bedroom and bath look with a bunch of stuff removed. Yeah yeah yeah. I know that's what is needed, just never happens Maybe this clean out for the work being done will be the impetus to getting stuff relocated or tossed. It has really worked in the garage, and started to work in the kitchen and living room. I might even get a project started (a scrap quilt) while I work from home tomorrow that would empty out a couple of piles of stuff.
I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

Went for a 7-mile hike with the family today, and then hosted family dinner (roast chicken, roasted broccoli and cauliflower with garam masala, salad, and fresh bread from the bread machine). Now I'm dodging the pots that need to be cleaned, and waiting for cookies to cool.
My office is having a Halloween-decorating contest, and my team has gone all-in, so we have dozens of construction-paper pumpkins all over, and stand-up cardboard Peanuts characters (turns out one of my coworkers is pretty good at freehand drawing). I'm bringing in pumpkin-shaped butter cookies topped with orange glaze, with which to bribe the judges of the contest.
With luck I will be buying our flights to Paris and Tanzania tomorrow....

Yay buying awesome flights! I am in LA—got here over an hour late but luckily the flight to Japan isn't until tomorrow or i would have been freaking out

Well, that's not a big surprise. I mean, everything that man has done for the last three (edit, following a perusal of his Wikipedia entry: last 32) years has basically been begging for an arrest.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Japan, Paris, Tanzania -- I would like to go to one of those places!

Thrive to spite them
I've given up Twitter but I assume Trump had a rage tweet fest. And he'll be doubling down on the whole I don't know him thing. I assume Fox can't get away with not covering this but I also assume some of their people are going to try and make this look like it's about Clinton.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Goddamnit, I got roped into something by my boss, and I knew it was going to happen, and I really don't want to do it, and I have no reason for refusing. So now, every two weeks, I have to run a fucking 7AM meeting, instead of just attending.

Ugh, that's ducks, Dana.
You know what, autocorrect? I'm gonna leave it. Ducking ducks.
