Well, we may not have parted on the best of terms. I realize certain words were exchanged. Also, certain... bullets. But that's air through the engine. It's past. We're business people.

The smoke alarm started beeping at 2AM. Not going off, just low battery beeping. I am so tired.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I hate that! Mine went off in the middle of the night the other week, and that is so shocking! I'm glad there was no fire or anything, but come on, man.

Happy birthday, Cass!

One of Emmett's friends slept over (after they all celebrated the Warriors win) so Garrett got put to work, rolling out the new rug.

Which sounds kind of easy and straightforward but what happened was: moved all furniture and boxes off Tulip rug (already in the living room), roll it up, lay down pad unroll rug, put couch and boxes back; then move all of the furniture out of the drinking parlor, laid down pad, unrolled new Wm. Morris rug, moved furniture back in.

Phew. Anyway, Garrett received a nylon bomber jacket that I impulse bought during a big online sale then decided I didn't need.

I also had E&K +Garrett unload two boxes of dishes and glassware, and put them in the cabinets. Now I have boxes and packing materials (paper, bubblewrap) to return to the house for further packing.

But now I'm taking a breather so I can procure the essential Third Coffee.

Whew! Exhausted just reading that.

I... tidied up for the cleaners.

Oh, man, yesterday I knocked over a water bottle with my orange special drink in it, cap not secured, right near my glass chair mat on the biege carpet. Disaster!

But, we have a wet vac, thank the gods of spills, so I cleaned it up 95% back to normal. Will need to take the spot cleaning hose/brush attachment to it to really finish, but, that thing was a damn good investment!

And now, Weekend Times.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

the leftover yard sale stuff is GONE! yay! I have my porch back. I even added to it yesterday evening, with a few more items from the house and on Wednesday I pushed the neighbor with hoarding tendencies to let go of some things in her garage.

STUFF GONE. Thank you Vietnam Veterans.

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

Timelies all!

Happy Birthday Cass!

Gary spoke to the doctors yesterday. They started Mr. S on the new drug and he seemed to improve his behavior on it. They want to keep him there through the weekend, possibly sending him home Monday or Tuesday. Which means that when Gary goes to Florida tomorrow, I won't be with him. Yet another set of vacation days that won't be used for going anywhere. (I'm also a bit apprehensive of having to wrangle Mr. S on my own. Gary's going to come back Tuesday night instead of Wednesday afternoon, and we have a friend who says she can come help out, but still...)

Our wings are not tired.

I hope you are able to get some renewing rest this weekend, Sheryl.

Bravo to the productive people. Running on empty today. I didn't get a lot of sleep, but felt energized after my early morning workout. Did some house chores then drove to town where my son lives (about 45 mins away) and had lunch with him and GF, and gave them some stuff. Then picked up my grocery order I did online to get while in that city. By the time I got home I hit the couch and took a nap! Had leftover popcorn from the theater last night and an orange for dinner. Now I want to nap again.
