Just went over to my parents' house, over night once section of their kitchen flooring raised up over an inch. There is a bump between the counters and the island. We suspect a busted pipe of some sort or some very odd foundation problems. Of course it is in the middle of the house. Of course they were less than a year away from selling. No good, very bad.

I don't really even buy paper books these days. I'd get rid of almost all of mine if I had them electronically.
Just had to break the bad news to my boss that we are way behind of a client deliverable, which the client is going to FLIP about. But I really thought we would maybe not be 100% done on time but at least like 95%? And now it looks more like 50%, because not nearly as much got done last week as I expected (by others, not by me) and there is way more to do than expected, also. Ugh. And I tried but I can't really come up with any fixes for this to be done on time.

after great luck selling a few thing online last month and then 2 quick sells this week - today has been a nothing burger. several listings up across platforms with very collectible things and lots of views, no sales.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I have a grocery bag full of pie to bring to work tomorrow. So that's something.

Our wings are not tired
Online selling is a grind. We are clearing out some old equipment through a few fronts, and sometimes it just feels like an endless stream of either nothing, or scammers.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I'm kind of with Jessica on used book stores. There was a store in Chapel Hill, NC, called The Bookshop where you never knew what you'd find -- in a good way. Sadly, they closed some years ago.

Coding and Sleeping
My Firefox new tab page is promoting a story about tetanus with the subtitle 'What does rust have to do with it?' and all it does is make me think of Tina Turner. "What's rust have to do with it? What's rust but a second-hand oxidation..."

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm supposed to be in a webcast, but the invitation tells everyone to go to conference rooms, and has no information for viewing in remotely. Oh, well, guess I'll have to spend this hour catching up on the late-night shows.
