I ended up standing on my table for some of it, but the wet swiffer worked well too. The kitchen and bathroom are really poorly ventilated! I certainly contributed, and the living room is all me, but still. The tops wet swiffer pads are far superior to the Walmart ones, which I am basically wetting to make work.

Oh, I also realized if I move the garbage bags to the center, I can actually was all the walls in the kitchen, clean the bookshelf and my desk, so when they come to take out the bags and deep clean the floor, then the kitchen will be finished!

You're doing amazing, Sophia! For real, you are.

That's terrific!

Welp, just got the alert, no work tomorrow. One less thing to worry about, anyway.

Tired beyond words from travel involving trailer issues and a very long day. Instead of making it home we are in Savannah. Anyway the day ended with sweetness. We went to Ruby Tuesday for dinner and I asked the waitress to ask the chef if there was some dog treat appropriate scraps to be had for a super patient doggo. She brought me out a couple cups of chopped ham!! Skinner is very happy.

Just spoke to my parents who were at a Yoga Camp this weekend (embracing the California cliches) and that list power last night, and they got to drive home through a lot of outages h by at all the other drivers were apparently reasonable and sensible and then there was a fire near their house but the evacuation zone didn't quite reach them and nii I w their power is even back on. And they told me that there's a 1000 acre fire near me which I hadn't even heard about, but I'm upwind of it. Too much excitement.

Aw, Skinner.

Yesterday was chock full of relatives—Mom and I met my visiting aunt and uncle for lunch on their way to take another of my aunts on a trip to Branson, then drove to Memphis for my cousin's birthday party with most of the closest branch of the family on Mom's side in attendance. Also got to see my cousins' house for the first time (very cute!).

Today has been mostly sleeping in and running errands, but I finally got the internet hooked up to my TV so I can watch Netflix and Amazon Prime on the big screen. Informal Halloween party is a go! (Still can't get the WiFi working like it's supposed to, but that was my secondary purpose in buying the router, and I have access to free albeit slow WiFi downtown.)

Fire bad.

I'm unreasonably angry that 45 is coming to Chicago tomorrow. He's gonna fuck up traffic and I need to do a rental pickup during the day.

I'm also trying to decide if I want to go to a concert tomorrow (Poi Dog Pondering and Thievery Corporation) after an 8am start to the work day and about 5 hours to kill in between.
