Yum, Cap'n Tightpants.

I have NO plans for Thursday and I don't care. I might go see The Shape of Water by myself. I might do a little work, or look at insurance plans. I might do NOTHING.

Drive by bitching: it's Tuesday night and I still have no invitation from either in-town sibling, or anyone else to T-day.

Both sibs helped me move so it's not like we're on bad terms.

I have provisions for myself, but, come on!

Soooo Marti Noxon's new show...

Looks like I'm in episode one or two.

No lines, but it looks like it'll get me into the Union.

Feels extra special (and more than a little Buffista) that it's Marti's show where I get to take that leap.

I might do NOTHING.

Best kind of day evah!

Quester, can you just call and ask what is happening? They may think you have plans?

No lines, but it looks like it'll get me into the Union.

Excellent! I owe a debt of gratitude to SAG-AFTRA. A billion years ago Stephen had a tiny supplemental health policy with them that was like $20 a quarter or something super silly. Because of this policy we paid $0 out of the hundreds of thousands of dollars his health care cost. AND when he was declared disabled they refunded his premiums backdated to the date of his disability and left the policy in force until he died. I had insurance through my employer, but this supplemental plan made all the difference. It is devastating enough to go through that kind of illness, but paying for the hospital stays and treatments was never an issue. So yeah, yay unions!

Congratulations, Trudy!

quester, times like these I wish we had transporter technology. I think Daniel and I are going to a local community feast, but it would be perfect if you could simply pop over and come along.

If we had teleporter you guys would never be rif of me!

We need a teleporter. We just do.

One of the things I am picturing in my head is Buffistas having a cosy library together, can be some conversation, but mostly just companionable reading in the same general vacinity.

When I was in college, I shared an apartment with my friend Sarah. We had a guy named Burt living with us. He slept and paid rent elsewhere, but he did not get along well with his roommate, so he would spend most of his not-in-class, not-at-work time with us. It was so comfortable to have Burt around because he was a master of companionable silence.

I'm tired. Work was long and I think someone called out and they had the other shoe Dept person trying to sign people you for credit cards in the front of the store so I was alone in shoes . Besides helping customers I also needed to switch the place of some sale boots and clearance, finish setting the sale for 2 tables of shoes (one of which has enough shoes for a 3rd table), something else , and pull paper out of the boxes of boots.also clearance shoes (it hadn't been done for all shoes), make 6 display shoes (tag them and the boxes and out the boxes out) , and out out a half a box of jewelry.

We had some things buy 1 get 2 free and other good sales so people were buying lots of stuf. Also trying on shoes. I think one lady tried on 8 different styles in 2 sizes.

I got help and the most important stuff got done and the customers were happy and nice. Tomorrow is me and mom for food and working from 5 pm to 1 am.

Moving the clearance stuff around was a lot of squatting. I think I did the equivalent of 100 . My hips and left knee are killing me. I took a hot shower, did some stretches, put my knee brace on and took alieve. We can wear sneakers tomorrow thankfully.

I hope everyone has a good Thanksgiving.

I am still thankful for each and every one of you, even though I'm seldom here these days.

Thanks for being the best friends on the other side of the shiny box that anyone could ask for.
