'Safe'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I'm sorry about the pain, sj.
Good on the picture-taking and movers-search, msbelle. And thank you and Jesse for getting me back to Facebook I can read! I don't know how I missed the language buttons at the bottom of the page, or what I accidentally clicked to change things. But thank you both!
I've been looking up Pure Oil gas station conversions for a conversation with a friend. I've always kind of wanted one to convert to a house. So French Norman cottagey!
5 paper grocery bags and a piece of luggage and a box are all loaded in the car to go to the thrift. Now I am going to loads up a couple of bags of books to take to the library also and make it an efficient trip.
OH and the two small things I can mail at the machine at the PO.
Aaargh, an overflow pipe on my furnace is dripping. This likely means that there is air in the forced hot water system, which isn't a big deal to fix, except that it's been long enough that I don't remember how.
Getting a plumber to come by during Christmas week seems dubious.
Theodosia, I just called Roto-Rooter in your town. If you call them now, you can book an appointment for Tuesday. 617-666-0112
I will be happy to point him in your direction for advice, Sparky! Thank you. Also, NZ wheee!
I am sorry for anyone having holiday stress and crowds and shopping. I really am happy we are doing nothing. I am wearing Holiday shirts and a Rudolph hat and it still does not feel like Christmas to me.
3 boxes packed up today thus far. I am going to see how many I can get packed before 10pm and then go to bed.
Gearing up for shopping (on a very scaled-down immediate-family-only scale) tomorrow and Tuesday (Monday is a normal work day), but frankly delighted because the last paycheck went mostly to rent and I had thought that all the shopping was going to have to happen on Tuesday after being paid on Monday, but I got paid yesterday instead--it's a Christmas miracle!
Plumber vibes to Theo, and gentle hugs to sj.
The hall closet is almost empty and more than half of it is not coming with me. SO MANY SCHOOL SUPPLIES.
Thanks, ltc is asleep, and I should go to bed. But it is so quiet, I'm just going to enjoy it for a bit more. I can't wait for the holidays to be over. ltc is going to get so spoiled by everyone that I fear she is going to be impossible to deal with. TCG's current job is great, but he doesn't have a much vacation time as he used to have. So, I'll be solo parenting for much of her holiday break (and there is no karate until after New Year's either). t /scrooge
Happy Solstice, everyone. Cards arrived today; thank you!
Bev, that was a gas station?!?
