Yeah, I could do that, but I'm paralyzed with not caring very much.

Our wings are not tired.

Well done Natterers, you posted like the wind. 132 Natter posts yesterday, plus stuff in other threads. Not record breaking, but proud of you all! I won't be as successful today with the packing and traveling, but we'll see.

Mmmm, tomatoes.

The only spiders I have here in abundance are the daddy long leg variety and they don't bother me so I don't bother them. If I saw anything else it would be a smear before it could be identified. I used to scream and call for someone else to deal with critters, but living in Florida for nearing 40 years has made me quick with the shoe.

Man, HurFlo is looking to be a very wet one. I'd rather deal with loss of power and downed branches than flooding. May people grab their pictures and pets and get the hell away.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I am waiting for a new dishwasher to be delivered. Supposedly between 8-10, so we'll play the delivery window game.

I woke up this morning thinking it was Thursday. Imagine my disappointment that I was wrong.

One of TCG's new coworkers gave him 2 dozen eggs from his farm, and they are the most amazing eggs ever.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Mmm, fresh eggs.

If today were Thursday I would be even further behind than I already am.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

How awake am I today? [context: in Hebrew "ants" and "ports" are spelled the same but sound different due to diacritics.] So I read this morning the sentence "Correction to The 1951 Ants Ordinance" and thought what the hell was up with the ants in 1951, until the third read uncovered that it was The 1951 Ports Ordinance.

Also, sign me up to Cindy's cranky corner. And Bev, I hear you re: back then when the world made sense. I can only hope that some of the chaos is for the better, and that because we're such wonderfully imperfect storytellers we'd be able to figure out a coherent narrative out of it.

New dishwasher. Woo.

I definitely need to get stuff done today. *goes back to faffing around in the internet and watching Buzzfeed Unsolved*

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

TCG got fresh eggs in week 1 of presumably a non-chicken-related job? That sounds amazing!!

I just had to kill a spider, and I blame all of your spider talk for that.

Jesse, it's a town job but in a very rural town.
