Cacophony. That's pretty. What's it mean?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I understood hat reference! Not that I could have come up with Microserfs as the source, but I knew it was something I read. Surely that counts.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
It was a really nice day, guys, thanks for all the wishes. There was chocolate, and there's some left, so that's a definite plus!
How much longer are you bound to durance vile, David?
Rest well, Laura--and everybody else who's overtired and under-spoiled.

So pretty! Will you be renting out part of it?

I'm going to need a couple negative tests at least.

The bottom floor has long term tenants (12 years) and they'll be staying and paying us rent.
So we've got the top floor (all the pictures with the lovely painted walls), and the attic space (with bedroom and enough other room to put our library up there), and the garden apartment (2 bedrooms, bath, kitchen, separate entrance) that we can use for guests or a rec room for Matilda's friends, or Emmett or as extra office space to get some separation while people are working from home.
Jacqueline envisions the attic to be a combo of library reading room AND all the attics in all the children's books that had a big Victorian steamer trunk filled with clothes, costumes, old photo albums and family mysteries and a dressmaker's dummy in the corner and probably a secret little door where magical creatures troop in and out.

I was picturing much the same thing looking at it. It sounds absolutely lovely!

Our wings are not tired.
Rapid heart rate here. All is well, but a bit of a (not me) medical scare. We had gone to Fort Lauderdale to fix my MIL's kitchen disposal and were driving back home when a man stopped in the middle of the intersection. Major city intersection. Of course Brendon pulled up next to him as the man was getting out of the car to offer to help push the car out of the way, but the car wasn't the issue. Man was seriously disoriented and just said he needed help. Brendon talked to him while I called 911. Fortunately another young man (with two little kids in the car) ran over and talked the man into getting into the passenger seat so he could drive the car into the corner gas station. 911 kept me on the phone until the rescue team got there. Poor man was on his way home from church. His suit jacket still on the side seat. Seemed like maybe a diabetes disorientation or something. Thankful he didn't keep driving, although he could hardly have picked a worse place to just stop. He was oriented enough to call his wife on the phone and tell us her name. Rescue people of course were awesome. Took him away in ambulance.
Anyway, I hope he is okay. Just grateful he didn't get hit or walk into the road before we got to him.
