A bright curious child can be a good thing, but not always.
Yup.

Scrappy, I wish I had advice. You need a mentor for this sort of thing & it sounds like that is in short supply.
Cable dude basically spent 3 hours here, running all new line from the pole. And he was really lovely. We talked about homebuyong & neighborhoods & he thought it was hilarious that I thanked him so much for pulling ALL the dead cable lines. But I just kept pointing to all the dead plumbing & wires I've slowly been making headway on.
Set up all my WiFi & then ran the errands I would on the weekend, so I've freed up time for more pleasurable things, like tacos & DoorsOpen: [link]

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Much sympathy, Scrappy, and good ~ma for it working out well.
I bought a dress online, and the site warned that the clothes ran big, but I looked at their measurement chart and bought my regular size accordingly, and the dress has arrived and it's about 2 sizes too big. It was the last one in this pattern and I like the fabric, so I'm keeping it; I might end up making it into a skirt. And that was my excitement for the day.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
See if a dry cleaner near you does alterations, Zen. That might be the way to go.
Scrappy, I'm sorry it's all so fraught. Wishing you the best way through.
May the perfect job find you, and treasure you, Vortex.
Rapport with repairmen can reap wonderful benefits, sara. Our last cable installer was muttering into our dvr/receiver, "You don't usually see that with these things."
I piped up, "You don't usually get this with large appliances."
He cracked up--"Ghostbusters!"
He loooved our planets painting and complained his wife wouldn't let him hang such a thing in their house. I stopped myself from asking, "Precious Memories? Last Supper?"
May your travels leave you enough energy to enjoy yourself, shrift.
And may the youngest Buffista contingent be easier on their parents.

Oh, Athletics, how you break our hearts.
Next year!
ION, my brother is visiting, which means I drank too much red wine tonight. Argh. Off to bed.

Oh, fun. Manager told me my presentation was scheduled for next Tuesday and then asked in the meeting today if I was ready to present. Uh, no?

Oh my god, manager is recounting the entire history of this project, going back to 2013. *sob*

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Oh, Athletics, how you break our hearts.
Indeed. And the Sharks didn't look so hot in their season opener.
