I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

Bay-istas, were you aware you could use fernet to make cake? [link]

I also love the celestial ceiling.

~ma to Allyson. I'm sorry she's having a rough time of it.

oh no, Allyson! I'm so sorry.

As for decor choices for Casa Zmayhem, can I recommend the Alameda Vintage Fair? I went last weekend and there was so MUCH stuff there, especially if you are into mid-century modern. Also just a lot of everything. Rugs, tables, chairs--so many chairs--prints, glassware, vinyl, clothing, linens from France, lots of various kinds of art, and tons and tons of tchotchkes.

I suspect it might be worth it for y'all to rent a van and get over there on the first Sunday of April, early, and you can really clean up.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Ooh, thanks, Suela! I already got us tickets for the Oakland Museum white elephant sale, which is happening again for the first time since 2019 and should have a TON of stuff.

And Double-Plus NOT Yassssss for something really, really bad, I assume?

I've not heard it go that far! She's mostly very positive.

I visited Papa yesterday, and he was in a ton of pain and it was so stressful. But they were able to get him some relief for the pain last night. They're moving him to a rehab facility today with more visiting hours. So it will be easier to go there and see him without having to have someone pick up ltc from school etc.

Our wings are not tired.

The rehab facility will likely be more restful for him too. Good that it will be easier for you to visit him. I'm sure it helps him a lot.

The lender has funded the loan, which means we are now Fully Chonky with finance and the title will transfer this afternoon.

It's been a weird couple years.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

All Chonky is divided in three parts (unlike Gaul, united in your title)!
