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

Timelies all!

A week ago it snowed and today it's warm and sunny. March weather...

Our wings are not tired.

Outsourcing lugging is a very good plan.

I have listed stuff on Marketplace, Offer Up, and Craigslist. For me dealing with this is a complete horror. I don't haggle and negotiate. The two people I have sold stuff to ended up agreeing to my listed price after I made it clear. I think the flood of fake people happened right away and were easy enough to spot.

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

Sheryl, it’s being March here too. Yesterday it was warm and beautiful here, and today it poured all day.

I now know what ltc was describing as her brain bouncing around in her head because I have a milder version of her plague and I’m so dizzy.

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

It's not just the two guys; it's an app that folks with trucks and vans and folks with stuff that needs to be lugged from Point A to Point B can use to connect with each other. We can definitely request these two guys again, though; they were an awesome team.

I have powered through a metric crapload of the boxes at Maggie's place in the last few days--25 now sorted and clearly labeled, underfilled boxes condensed so I was able to break down 11 more, one box of stuff for Goodwill, and 18 boxes to go.

Thrive to spite them

My dentist is really awesome so I'm wondering if it is something to do with my mouth and maybe the way the bridge was fabricated. The dentist spent a lot of time adjusting things and filing down my upper teeth (my molars are like jagged canyons) and the bridge and having me bite sideways and stuff. So I guess it needs more adjustment.

I know he won't make me feel bad it's just frustrating that this happened and I can't help but feel like there is something I could be doing differently.

The movers sound awesome! And all you did is a big accomplishment JZ.

This past week at mom's we got so much stuff done. I keep asking her to let me help her and she finally agreed and because it's not my stuff it was easy to get powered through. Some how I ended up with a tub of picture frames at my house that had been in her storage unit. When we were organizing her stuff we found 2 more tubs of frames (some had pictures) so I got her to agree to let me just get rid of the frames that I have. Unless there is a pictures in them she wants.

Good going with all the organizing, listing, and donating of stuff, Laura, askye, and JZ. I did a fraction at that today by unpacking two of DP's boxes of previously too small clothes, some of which he's fitting back in to. That was satisfying for both of us, I think.

And we just had a fun dinner out. It was lovely here today.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

Sitting in the audience at the Lincoln Theatre with Jim and Ken, waiting for Eileen Ivers to come on stage. Ken's reading Murderbot as we wait. We've had the best day.

Nice! Enjoy.

I felt crappy this morning but a friend wanted to go for a walk so I said a short one and somehow ended up doing 10k steps. Oops. And then I was feeling shaky and got pizza, and snarfed three slices, and that was too much so then I sat on my couch for hours. Eventually went to my friends’ house and my friend and I taught her partner and her partners mom how to play euchre. We had tried to teach the partner before, and we are hoping eventually it will stick!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Hooray for best days, and for Getting Stuff Done--that was a mighty task, JZ. Impressive!

I'm glad Ltc is feeling better.

Lugg.

This delights me. You know Lugg was Campion's manservant. Sounds sort of appropriate, other than the obvious lugging. I wonder if there's a similar company called "Schlep."
