Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Aw, Consuela. Good for you, correctly reasoning that the dog hair won't hurt you. That's great that you had a pleasant time playing chess with Dad!
I am working on my TV backlog. Kinda feels like a job, but one that I enjoy. Tomorrow will be all about housecleaning, which I enjoy less.
And I finally have a weekend where I don't have to pack, where I don't have a deadline hounding me. I can leisurely unpack and organize and wander off when I want to get lunch.
Excellent.
DH and I had a long talk about our trip to Portland. Although we have some good friends there, the houses we can afford are mostly newer ranch houses, which we both found depressing. We decided we really feel better in places built before 1950, no matter how ramshackle. To buy a house we would enjoy living out the rest of our days in would cost so much that it pretty much negates moving--although we saw some gorgeous places in town, all craftsman-y and adorable and we certainly wished we had more money!
This swings the needle back towards the Detroit area. DH can do his job and we can find a house we will ADORE for 150 to 250k. Now we are working on planning a trip up there. I don't know anyone there, but I know Aimee lives nearby and I have family in Chicago for weekend trips.

Connie, that sounds like a really productive day and a great view.
I am filled with tires. gave an hour long solo presentation yesterday and didn't die though, so I'm calling it a win.
One more day at the event, then home, and we're maybe selling our house. Offer~ma appreciated.
Lots of offer~ma.
Today I need to reclaim the house. Every week there comes a point where I can no longer keep up and this week that was Wednesday. I need to get things clean-ish again and then forge ahead a little.

That made me so happy my eyes leaked.
Pet hair is just extra protein.
Connie, it's good to follow your saga of settling in to your new environment all your own.
Gud and Volans, I'm sorry to hear of your losses. Gud, I hope your daughter is doing well.
House and moving ~ma for Scrappy and hippocampus!
I made a new friend last night. Very interesting lady, lives right down the street from me. Had a little too much wine, which is surprisingly less wine than it used to be.
Finally caught up in Natter. I was pet-sitting with Anne last weekend and she got annoyed with me for being on the internet all the time.
I'm exhausted and stressed by the FBI email announcement. Internet is down so I gotta do some quick cleaning before the Comcast guy shows up.
Ten more days. Ten more days....
Ten more days. Ten more days....
The people that watch the 24 hour news channels made up their minds long ago. The tiny percentage of people that are really undecided are more likely to just be turned off and stay home than run to Trump as their savior. It seems the undecideds just hate both sides.
In my state my brother is voting for the Constitutional party candidate and my son is voting for Stein. As annoying as I find both of them, at least they aren't voting for Trump.
Unfortunately there is likely to be some new scandal every single day for the next 10 days. On both sides. Sigh. It is over for me since I voted! Alas, it seems hiding in my bedroom until Nov 9th isn't an option.
