That's super cool, Laura!

All that drama and resolution before I even get out of bed, Jesse!

Ha! You have no idea how much more drama has been going on in my head since I woke up in a panic at quarter to six.

This weekend was crazy busy, all with house stuff, but I got so much done!

Found awesome couch to replace two ugly old recliners and ugly uncomfortable orange couch

Found butcher's block

Found mover and moved both items (the butcher's block works even better than I'd hoped in the new kitchen and I am overjoyed.)

Finished kitchen paint job.

Started on LR paint

Sold dining room set and bookshelf

Transferred 6 utilities, got renter's insurance, ordered movers, ordered dumpster.

Got a bunch of free moving boxes and two free nice outdoor barrel chairs to replace crappy ones.

Scored a fancy new table lamp for $15 to replace perfectly hideous one D bought for $3 a year ago.

I am trying to keep up with cleaning, but man, our current house is a hot damned mess right now.

More painting and moving some fragile stuff today. I am so sore.

My perpetually late and morning-hating coworker scheduled a meeting for 9AM. She is not yet online. You may ask why she schedules meetings at 9AM. Why indeed.

That's a lot!

In other work news, it looks like I'm going to move to a less-nice office with a better-for-me location. That seems like a fair trade-off. But I do want to go scope out the office to check.

So this is awesome. Coworker is completely alienating a person who's supposed to be helping us, and we've spent all 20 minutes of the meeting going through helper's Windows settings to try and change the color of a setting in Windows, and it's not meaningless, but this is a really fucking frustrating way to start a Monday.

OMG, Dana.

when my mom and I were driving to the 5k a couple weeks ago a raptor of some sort swooped lazily across the highway right in front of us. I was seriously concerned that we might hit it, but it knew what it was doing. Mom thought it was too big to be a red-tailed hawk, maybe a Golden Eagle. It was hella impressive from that angle, whatever it was.

Wow!! Usually when that happens to me it turns out to be a turkey vulture. Golden eagle is much better!

Meeting is still going on. I'm hungry.

I saw a hawk sailing down into a ditch alongside the highway when I was driving home from St. Louis Saturday, but a golden eagle definitely has that beat.

(Folks will still have to work to outdo the bald eagle buzzing us on the lakeshore as the eclipse was reaching totality last year though!)

Crap, I had a good few hours and then my productivity screeched to a halt. At least I have meetings from 1:30 until I have to go get a mammogram. This afternoon is going to be great.
