Kaylee: So how many fell madly in love with you and wanted to take you away from all this? Inara: Just the one. I think I'm slipping.

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

Timelies all!

I'm so sorry, askye.

Woke up at 4:45 this morning and did the wake up, go back to quasi-sleep, lather, rinse, repeat thing. Ugh. Problem is that all the suggestions I get are for things that help with falling asleep(i.e. melatonin), but not with staying asleep.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

There are extended-release things that might help -- I'd really suggest talking to your doctor.

I'm sorry, askye. You and your family have really been through it.

Thrive to spite them

Thanks.

And we are going to have an epic snowstorm. I'm really really really glad Mom is in Florida right now. We are forecast to get up to 7 inches of snow. and a lot of ice so I'm hoping our power holds out. I ordered groceries yesterday and tomorrow afternoon was the soonest I could get them delivered. I'm going to assume that is a combination of the upcoming storm and people going back to ordering more because of the covid surge. Or it's because I hadn't renewed my walmart plus subscription.

Our wings are not tired.

Yo, JenP is a Big Damn Hero! Dentistry is a shallow reward.

Lounging in bed with the cats and dog alternating reading and tv while DH is at his games. Some napping happens too.

There’s a lot of empty shelves here for sure.

And yay being a work hero Jen!

I can’t decide what I want for dinner. Hmm. I kinda want fancy steak frites but the place that’s good has a dinner for two meal deal that is cheaper (and includes salad and bread and dessert!) per person than just their regular steak frites, so I’m annoyed.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I’m so sorry about the illness and loss in your family, askye.

We’re expecting to get mostly ice here on Sunday. Oh, and an hour or so of high winds after the ice has had a chance to accumulate. I’m assuming I’ll spend Sunday night in the dark, cuddling the cats. Eh, I have blankets. And my niece gave me these light bulbs that go into sockets like usual, but they charge while being on. Then, if the power goes out, they’ll supposedly keep working for hours.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

sj, woot! And that sounds like a heavenly weekend. Plus, a weekend at Camp Grandparents is awesome for ltc. Everybody wins!

Thanks! We watched 3 whole hours of TV last night. Usually by the time we get ltc to bed, we manage 1 show before we crash.

I accidentally stayed up until 1am last night which is very unlike me these days. But I was playing with the oculus and then got sucked into finishing the latest outlander book (which continues to be both ridiculously long and also bananas). Then I slept until 10am and now I have a headache. Stupid adulthood.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

My sink sprung a leak. There seems to be nothing connecting the drain to the pipe! My house is a mess. Now I have towels everywhere— I so hope that this does not leak down into the other apartment. I think I got it all with a bucket. But while I am not as messy as I was when I had my predicament, I still need to clean before I feel comfortable having the landlord come. But it is also somewhat hard to clean without a sink when dishes are a thing I have trouble with!

Oh no! Do you have a laundry basket or something you could put the dishes in to relocate them temporarily?
