I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Working from home today was a good call -- between yesterday when I decided to do so and this morning, they upgraded the forecast from flurries with zero accumulation between 12 & 2, to half an inch of accumulation around 3, and as we all know, that means DEATH AND DOOM AND DESTRUCTION AND AT-ATs IN THE STREETS around here.
I am @@, but also I am home with kitties and blankets and theoretically focusing on getting shit done.

Unfortunately, many here in Utah are snickering at the panic in the South. Others of us have sympathy for your unfamiliarity with how to cope.

I think I am getting all this weather as rain. It's a topsy turvy world.

Stay safe askye. And everyone.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
The downside of us buying a house without a bathtub (literally the ONLY nonnegotiable item on my list--go figure) is that we are redoing the master bath. The upside is that the new bathroom is going to have one of those cool free-standing tubs! I just picked it out: [link] Also sage green glass subway tile walls. Such luxury!

Oh, how lovely, Scrappy!

not your mom's socks.
Glad to hear from LA-istas!
Scrappy the tub is gorgeous.
I had Lisah and Bob hugs yesterday and it was most excellent!
That was after spending a couple extra unexpected hours at the doctors... in part because everyone forgot/didn't tell him I was in an exam room. I looked up from writing a short story about someone abandoned in an exam room over a holiday weekend to realize I'd been in there for almost two hours (thank you, subconscious). Then I drove for two hours that turned into three... it was a theme.
Sleeping forever now.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
While I was home yesterday dealing with electricians and cable guys and burned-out appliances, I was home for the craziest winds we've seen in a while. My entire lawn and much of my porch are blanketed in dead pine needles (apparently my tree has been saving them up). I was glad I haven't gotten around to any outside decorating, it would have gone flying (BONUS: neighbors across the street have, at least temporarily, taken down their obnoxious musical star because of how it was swinging in the winds). Crazy winds unfortunately started the expected wildfires in San Diego County. Thankfully I am well south of where the fires currently are, though it's getting a little close for comfort to my dad's new place.
