"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Is it migraine season?

According to my body, yes.

I realized I forgot to donate blood on Friday, as I planned. I'll see when can I fit it into this week's schedule. The health system is in crisis, there's shortage of blood donations due to COVID, and I'm a universal donor. So it seems like the thing to do.

Coffeed and did the Sunday crossword online with my DP (Dear partner - is that a thing?) Now to shower and go to Aldi, yay, Aldi. My productivity plan for the day is to bag up a crap ton of clothes for donation.

Good on you, Shir.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I admit to hoping when I woke up there'd be news that Trump died. Not that I'm all that happy with 'President Pence' but at least you're trading up when you go from a rabid dog to a poisonous snake.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Now to shower and go to Aldi, yay, Aldi.

Check the cheese section for their seasonally festive Halloween-themed cheeses! Out of 6 varieties, I bought 2 yesterday, which I think is exceptional self-control.

I was thinking of your post when I added "cheese" to my shopping list! True story.

ETA: Yes, very restrained purchasing. Good work.

I also impulse-bought a string of Halloween lights for $6.99 at Aldi, and if we get them hung up today, I'll post a picture on FB. Now that it's October, I'm on the spooky train. Oh! I can get the metal skeleton out of the attic and put him in the yard, too!

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

The wind blew over my desiccated outdoor planters of moss, which I'm secretly glad to throw away as there was one tiny pea-sized patch that managed to hang on to life and keeping it that way was a chore. I have hope for the homemade railing planters I just put zinnia seeds in, though.

I went to the grocery store and was stonewalled by an old man hacking and coughing in the snacks aisle, who of course ended his potato chip vigil and followed me once I gave up and got in the check-out line. He was masked so probably nothing for me to worry about, but I don't consider Tostitos sufficiently valuable to take any chances.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just put up my new Halloween lights! A string of spiders across the door, and purple lights going down the railings, to go with the purple door. As a middle-aged person, I am obsessed with my minimum effort, maximum impact lighting situation I have designed for Christmas and can now extend to any holiday.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Oy. Found that Mr. S had taken all his underwear and socks out of the dresser and dropped them on the floor. Which wouldn't be too awful except he had also upended his dirty laundry bin on the floor as well. I am currently washing all the clothing found on his floor.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

My Halloween lights went up last weekend, but I need to get another set of pumpkin lights because one string stopped working already.
