Timelies all!
We are at the National Book Festival, having just heard Seanan McGuire do a talk/q & a. Next up: John Scalzi.
I hope you don't think that I just come over for the spells and everything. I mean, I really like just talking and hanging out with you and stuff.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Have fun, Sheryl!

Oh, that's a good lineup -- I've heard both of them talk, and they're really terrific!
It's Allston Christmas here -- aka some sections of the area have 40% of the apartments turning over today and tomorrow. I was kept busy dodging U-Hauls -- at least nobody got stuck on one of the low bridges on Storrow Drive (YET).

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

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
had a FB marketplace buyer flake out on me, reschedule and then still not show up. Come ON NOW!
Well I got my driveway and have the garage swept. I've got another box for thrift store from the garage sale leftovers and 3 bags in my car to go to various people/places. That is STILL not everything though.
Inside I got one bookcase cleared off, so I can list that for sale later today.

AND mac just left the house without his backpack (almost never happens) so I just went and searched it. Vaping stuff and THC vaping cartridges which are illegal. So I've texted him to come get his stuff and be out of the house tonight.
I've packed one bag for him already and will do another and leave it on the back patio if he is not back soon.

I think I bought a taco from a front business this afternoon. Wide empty space attached to a gas station, almost no seating, counter and food clearly not up to handling multiple customers in quick succession, hand-written menus on note paper, took two guys to prepare a taco, and the one ringing me out didn't know how to work the cash register. And the taco wasn't actually good, which rules out it being just a starter business run by someone inept who thought great family recipes would be all that's needed.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I did go to the beach instead of the counter-protest and am still kind of exhausted. Good times!

Of, msbelle. Good luck & steady nerves tonight.

In TX he can be arrested for the THC, am I right?
