Wow, that's a lot to get done!
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Thanks, I'm exhausted now! I wish my niece's could come over more often, but they don't drive. So, I have to drive them 45 minutes each way, and that is just not feasible during the school year. TCG was dealing with leafpocalypse while we did all this. It really does take 3 people to get things done with ltc, especially if it involves throwing away any of the various bits of trash that she thinks are treasures.

Yikes amyth! I think at that point I'd be telling them to go find one of those docbots from The Matrix with lots of experience at spinal taps!
Sophia, I vote for the throwing-off-a-roof option. You've already contracted the services of a strapping young man and a dumpster, get your money's worth out of them!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Inspired by Sophia's heroic work of the last few weeks, I spent my day off tackling multiple stacks of trash in the living room and also scrubbing out the bottom third of the refrigerator (the top 2/3 is not so bad; it's the bottom shelf and the drawers where the horrors lurk), and also mainlined an entire emotionally draining Netflix miniseries (so much so that my dad called in the middle of the last episode and I sent him to voicemail because I didn't have the spoons to deal with the show and him), and now I am thoroughly knackered.
Matilda still needs to be given dessert and bundled off to bed, and at this point I'm fighting to stay awake longer than she does. All I need to do is outlast her by four minutes. I can do that, surely?

Putting in a word for New Zealand on the places-to-travel front. So much beauty, super nice people, and really affordable. Bonus if you can go with a friend who's willing to drive on the left side of the road (I am a very smart woman, but I cannot handle that).

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
We can yawn at one another, JZ - once Jim's on the ground in Nashville, I'm going to fall over where I sit.

LOLOL. I possibly should not involve a minor in my de roof estration
I like the after Thanksgiving thing. Which is basically the same thing as December.

Thanksgiving is late this year.
Pompeii and Herculaneum are a big part of my mostly unidentified Bucket List -- I want to spend several days just walking around and hanging out and asking lots of questions.

These are all good suggestions! They are going on the list.
Cindy, my brother said the exact sane thing: that I should make sure a resident dies not perform the procedure today. (He may have said it more forcefully.) I'm trying to be a better advocate for myself.
I am definitely more of a see new things person than a lie on the beach person.
