Awesome news, Strix! I have never underestimated the value of convenient and fully functional laundry equipment! The best setup I ever had was in the rental we had with 2 side by side sets of stacked washers and dryers. They weren't big, but double! It was perfect for proper sorting, or when the kids leave their stuff in the machine. I hope to have that setup again some day!
I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Aargh. Tooth still hurts, but not as bad. I go in Monday for an exam, and root canal sometime after that. The dentist kind of told me I shouldn't have pain after the procedure, but the dental nurse on the phone said I shouldn't worry. I have a vision of my whole jaw becoming infected over the weekend. It is way less pain today, though- certainly noticeable but not excruciating.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
So I'm gonna store it up and trot it out when I'm really pissed about something because that's the mature and healthy thing to do, right?
Absolutely.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That's how it's done, Kat.
Pain-ease~ma, Sophia!
Yay Strix!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Sophia, you shouldn't have pain after a root canal, but did you have something else done already?
I came in and worked hard for 3+ hours IN A ROW, and then I took a break, and now I'm afraid I can't get back to working. Yikes.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I fell down the last three stairs at 2:30 in the morning, when on the way to take a dog out in the freezing cold for his upset stomach. Landed on my side. Still had to get up at 7:45 to be ready for the work men redoing our bathroom. First world problems, but I feel kinda beat up today, I have to say.
My husband did not wake up from the dog whining or my loud landing from the fall. or so he says, YET I STILL LOVE HIM.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Ay yi yi! That's too much JessiMoon and Kat. So much piling on.
Sophia, I hope you get some pain-ease soon.
But I'm excited for Erin's [knock wood] news. That sounds great.
Scrappy! Be careful! Falling down stairs in the cold at 2am is dangerous!

Oh no, Scrappy! Tell DH that he either has to sleep lighter or you are going to get a "I've fallen and I can't get up" buzzer. Poor you and poor doggo.
I hope the tooth settles down some soon, Sophia.
We have family drama here related to my mother's passing and the relationship between my sibs and step-dad. It is really bad and it makes me sad that my expectations came true. There are no good solutions.

Because books.
Yikes, Scrappy. Hot bath and ibuprofen as soon as you can.
Yay, Strix! It sounds lovely!
Tomorrow's my last day at the bakery. I told them they should run a pool on when I'll start crying. Catherine keeps looking at me like I'm about to embark on a long, dangerous journey (it's been very bittersweet and teary all week) and a lot of customers are hugging me and wishing me well, which is sort of surprising and really touching.

Aww, that is nice Amy.
