I did buy a whole new weed-eater because the old one died. That was an absolute necessity, though, not a splurge. Stupid lawn.
Pretty cool except for the part where I was really terrified and now my knees are all dizzy.

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

Stupid lawn.
No truer words.

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

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.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I've bought a lot of 1.99 ebooks. But I can't really blame that on COVID. I just . . . do that. On the other hand, I haven't bought my usual round of summer work clothes, because I'm working from home until at least 2021. It's t-shirts and shorts all day, every day. The only reason I put on shoes is to get the mail.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I bought another new-to-me film camera. And then payed more to get one of my other cameras repaired.
