I caught her on a park bench, making out with a *chaos* demon! Have you ever seen a chaos demon? They're all slime and antlers.

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

Goddammit Marshalls sending me orders when I am about to quit for the day

I think I might have registered with Chirp but forgot about it, I should check on that. I have a delinquent fine situation with the library that I need to sort out before I can make use of them...

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Oh, and I bought a new lawnmower and batteries for the weed-eater. It's a thrill a minute over here.

I did buy a whole new weed-eater because the old one died. That was an absolute necessity, though, not a splurge. Stupid lawn.

Stupid lawn.

No truer words.

Although using the weed-eater is so damn satisfying. I get a lot of aggression out that way.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I've also bee doing more audiobooks again. They are very helpful if I want to rest while ltc is outside playing and don't want to hear her squealing.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Thrill-a-minute? H just changed out all the Damp-Rids in the workshop. Still to go--under his bathroom vanity and mine. Woohoo! On the other hand, no mildew, so that's a good.

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.

What have I bought . . . a lot of bedding, because mine picked this year to start self-destructing - hooray for eBay and the Macy's clearances sales - some parts for my Nordic Track, and two blankets and a bolster for yoga; a couple of accessory sets for the Instant Pot; a truly ridiculous amount of tea, and a blue teapot to brew it in (it's the spitting image of my great-grandmother's, one of the Hall Pottery promotionals for Lipton Tea in the '30s); soil and plants (and these owls) for the balcony garden . . . .

And a loooooooooot of cheap Nook books.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I've bought so many plants and gardening things. Also books. And embroidery kits.

Our wings are not tired.

Yes, this has been on my spent list too. My eyes are paying the price. So much reading lately.
