Toddson - yeah I remember the unpacking-and-organizing phase of getting into the new apartment - at least your CD collection wasn't tromped flat by firefighters! I mostly handled it by saying "I will do ONE BOX and take a break," although I occasionally found myself inspired to start on the next box instead.
Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

I treated myself to Popeyes for lunch today but it was disappointing, treat wise. I don't know if they've changed or I have but it's just not seeming as delicious as it used to. Alas. But maybe secretly a good thing, I dunno.
Anyway, lunch, I had some, so that's good.

Yes, I try to do at least one box in the evening, can manage more on weekends. I'm upset that they managed to break some things and stole some ... I haven't finished unpacking my jewelry, and I'm afraid they stole some rings (and I'd mainly be upset that they stole one - with a tiny diamond - that gets passed on to daughters on their 17th birthday); I can't wear them any more because my knuckles are swollen and my fingers got fat, but this was from a company with a five star rating.

Oh, Toddson, that's a shame. Those movers really betrayed your trust.

Toddson, Maria, and Cass - I am sorry. It's a lot to handle. I wish things were easier. A lot of ~ma to all of you.

And in-another-post: We are entering a heatwave of 34-42 Celsius degrees until Tuesday. I do not have A/C at home, and looks like a lock down/curfew will start on Monday because COVID. I am not excited by this.
And I should start thinking on Rosh Hashana and how to celebrate it this year.

I can't quite believe it's already almost time for Rosh Hashana, wasn't it just Pesach a week or two ago? This year, man. Incomprehensible.

Huh. Every year my company offers to "cash out" vacation time, and I've never paid much attention because I've always used my vacation time almost as fast as I accrue it but this year I actually have some stored up. Hm.
