Once again, was woken up at 4:30 by Nova yowling. sigh...
On the other hand the Powell's order I placed Monday has already arrived. Yay books!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Yay books!
While Bed Bath & Beyond is making me want to cry, TJ Maxx comes through with information I need after I was sure they had all gone home for the day. Something is resolved, woohoo!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Speaking of books, I am so mad at my mother for ordering a book (the new Louise Penny) from Amazon. We love our local independent book store! What was she thinking?? (She was thinking she was already ordering something else there, is what. But STILL.)
...that does actually help. Thanks for pointing that out.
Phew.

I also bought the new Louise Penny from Amazon but I don't have a local independent bookstore to love I do have a Barnes & Noble that is just one town over, which I guess is better than Amazon? But I don't have a Nook

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Go, Lisa and team! Well done!
Gud, that sounds like a great offer and you definitely have a lot to think about.
Steph, FWIW, I wouldn't go either. I'm also giving your FIL stink-eye for even contemplating it.

I mean, he's developing dementia, so I don't think he really understands how serious the pandemic is. I'm willing to give him a pass, but I cannot believe that Tim and his brothers think it's fine for him to be there. They are smarter than that.

Punishingly Intricate
Thanks, everyone! I did nothing but sleep late and read my book today.
I'm sorry Tim's family is being like that, Steph. Bob's family has had all kinds of ill-advised (if outside) events this summer but fortunately there was no question about us flying out to be at them.

Whew! I have been trying in vain to set up a blood donation appointment online for weeks and I finally gave in and called instead and they set me up in 3 minutes. So that's a relief.

You're OK! Especially for an eBook! My mother is having Amazon ship her a hardcover instead of walking five minutes to, again, the independent book store we love.
