I haven't gotten a whole lot done today. I'm going to try a New Thing, which is to reserve my bed for sleeping/napping only. Since I'm living alone now, it's not like getting up and turning on the TV in the living room is going to disturb anyone. (Indeed I've got the radio in the kitchen turned to NPR 24/7, in the hopes that the sound of voices will dissuade would-be burglars. God knows, the cats will be useless.)

Sheryl and msbelle, I really hope the universe lets up on you this weekend.
JZ and Hec are the best of people, as we knew, and askye is so deserving of a lovely gift, as we also knew. Happy you are my people.
Did somebody try to claim that TCBITW has a husband and soon a house? Unpossible!
The potential buyer is a landscaper, and he said in his bid that the property would require "at least $30,000 of landscaping," and it totally felt like negging!
Well then that won’t be a problem for you, will it, landscaper jerk?

We are ar moms and it's not turning out to be a great birthday thing. I'm tired. M is tired. Mom is tired of Dad. And she keeps making little comments about stuff under her breath. We just ended up having sandwiches for lunch and she made her own. I hear "I have to make my own sandwich. Happy birthday to me." And stuff like that.

Happy Scrappy Day!
Yay to the power of Power!
Jen, I would say that over-mellow is the right amount of mellow when dealing with a fucky schedule.
Theo, are you considering getting a new roommate?

Our wings are not tired.
Anyway, I'm not even cranky, I'm just kind of over-mellow almost to the point of, eh, whatever. I guess that's better than being a stressball. I dunno.
Sounds like a good place to be IMO.
Yay Power!!

That sounds like a better plan.
Did housework this morning, then went and caught some rays on my sister's dock. Tonight is the community Meet & Greet at a local tavern so I will be getting ready for that soon. Very much looking forward to DH getting here. Plan on going to the Wild Center in Tupper Lake on Wednesday, which is super fun and relaxing. Also want to plan on a "pizza cruise" on Raquette Lake soon too. They have various dinner cruises, but I think the pizza and root beer float one sounds more fun than prime rib and wine. Who knows what else. I want to keep him occupied on fun stuff rather than him getting involved with the construction projects. I know he packed his car detailing stuff, which I would object to, except me car is gross and needs his attention.

Timelies all!
Happy Birthday Scrappy!
We are going to the Jimmy Buffett concert tonight, which should be interesting. It's outside, so at least Gary can walk around with Mr. S when he gets bored.
