Honestly, I am not sure I have it in me to clean them up, see if they work, etc. it looks like they go between $60 and $299. I don't think I have the keyboards or mice (mouses?). There is actually a sort of weird independent computer store across the street, and I might just walk over there and see if he wants to get them from my attic.

I just made a little steak with blue cheese crumbles and spinach. Nom

Yum, steak and stuff. I tried making cooking bacon in the microwave since I am at work and do not have access to a stove or oven. Not great.

I think the old iMacs that are turned into cat beds and aquariums are so cute, but I don't know how hard that would be.

I ordered something for my niece's birthday. First they said the projected delivery date was the 27th, then the 29th. Now they're saying Dec 2, which is AFTER her birthday party. I would have paid for expedited shipping if I'd known they were shipping via FedEx.

I think microwave bacon is only OK if it is already pre-cooked. But- How does cooking steak on one burner dirty three burners!!?! How are people clean?

Shrift. That is annoying. I had a shipment of super duper great carpet cleaner just disappear. I ended up with a refund and ordering from another vendor. If anyone wants to know it is called Bac-Out and is a natural enzyme cleaner that gets rid of cat pee smell with no allergy issues, but also gets out stains like coffee and wine from carpets or other fabrics. I just this moment had the cat bat my coffee over, and I sprayed it with this stuff and blotted, and it was amazing. But it also totally got rid of the cat pee.

Marked for future reference, Sophia, thanks!

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

Timelies all!

Having cleaning people here every other week has proven to be a good decision on our part, as we were just not keeping up with our cleaning.(Given the chaos that is our lives, it's no surprise.)

That is good to know. In my town, the only people who have cleaning people, I think are rich people with suburban homes, so I just feel a little weird asking someone to clean my apartment that is not in the good part of town or anything.

I have acquired yarn! Maria took me to a place where I could feel the yarn. It is right now living outside my apartment, and I will work on the cap on the bus, as I am a smoker, and smoke is bad for the chemo cap.

I basically have one bookcase, the attic and my woodwork to go. I am having good luck sanding down the parts of the woodwork that are damaged, and then staying just that part with matching stain. It isn't perfect, but it is better than the stains.
