Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I have so much peppermint flavored stuff and many Joe Joes!

Thank you all! I got a new Roku, some Irish whiskey, and a new 9x13" baking pan. Oh, and I got my sister to make me a banoffee pie, which turned out marvelous.

Our wings are not tired.

Mmmm, Trader Joes's! I haven't been in so long. Mostly because there always seems to be a line and zero parking. I have been all about the curbside pickup at Whole Foods. I miss my Trader Joe's. TJ gift cards is indeed a nice gift.

I had to Google banoffee pie. Oh my!

Tornado coverage is super freaky and awful. Yes, we get hurricanes, but we know well in advance they are coming and have options. What a horror.

Busy week here and next week will be even more hectic. A couple icky medical tests finished, which came out best-case scenario. Still have to have surgery as soon as it can be scheduled, but the least invasive option now and just a few weeks of being lazy to recover. Nothing dire or life-threatening, just old age!

Also selling my house! They put the sign up yesterday but the listing doesn't happen until Monday. Thursday they will come and do the whole 3D video walk-through part, with drone photography, and all that. So the next few days we are in full out prep mode. Purging everything from countertops and other surfaces, minimalize throughout. Roof pressure clean scheduled Wednesday. Tired thinking about it. The only sad part for me is no Christmas decorations this year. I usually go all out with the big nativity scene out front, poinsettias, and the big tree and decorations through the house. Nope, realtors recommend none of that. So I may decide to go visit family in snowy regions and just get out of the way. I really want to leave anyway because Wednesday is my grandson's first birthday then Christmas. Right now I don't anticipate them reaching out to us and I don't want to deal with the disappointment.

Just heard about the tornados and storms. Do we have people in the path?

So Laura the lookers did not come with an offer?

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

We had a warning but nothing too close. I did hear that Jonesboro had a tornado -- isn't that where Matt lives? Matt, are you and your family OK?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Western Kentucky got absolutely hammered. It's pretty awful.
