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.
Saffron: But we've been wed. Aren't we to become one flesh? Mal: Well, no, uh... We're still two fleshes here, and I think that your flesh ought to sleep somewhere else.

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

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.
And a loooooooooot of cheap Nook books.
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.

When I have to lie down with the microwave beanbag on my head for a migraine, I end up listening to one of John Mulaney's Netflix specials, or letting an episode of some show that I've seen a gazillion times play on the iPad while I listen to it.
I used to do that, but my go-to show I've seen a gazillion times is Hannibal, and there's no way I'm not going to *watch* it. So if the migraine comes with light sensitivity, it's all audiobooks.
And they have to be audiobooks of things I've already read.
today's delivery was a houndstooth bodysuit and a black pencil skirt. Tres chic.
That will be a fantastic outfit.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
My pandemic shopping has been mostly groceries, masks, books, and music. Hec, I like the send-some-art-to-a-friend idea!

Also, for audiobooks, do you all know about Libro.fm?
