I'm glad your brother and sister are ok, Laura.
The chopped cheese sandwich looks really good.
Bits of Ian are hitting my area right now. For us it's just some desperately needed rain and a bit more wind than usual.
It's all about choices, Faith. The ones we make, and the ones we don't. Oh, and the consequences. Those are always fun.

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.
Laura, may things continue to improve for them; Calli, may you stay safe, warm and dry.
I was today days old when I learned that our heat pump will not be mended before 10 November at the earliest, as the replacement coil has to be ordered from the factory. A summer with no AC, and now no heat going into the rainy season. Jim and I will weigh up "Space heaters and try to gut it out" versus "Month-to-month lease and no heat, let's move now".
Otherwise we're well, thanks. How are you lot?

Amy, I vote move now. That is no good.

Our wings are not tired.
Ugh. Climate control does come in handy.
What are the weekend plans? Family friend is visiting for a few days. He lives up near the St. Lawrence. I'm roasting butternut squash for a curried coconut cream variety of soup to make with it. Going to be out and about as much as possible as the Fall leaves are impressive. Go for a last boat ride (well bundled) before DH pulls the boat out for winter. Also need to finish shrink wrapping the windows to cut down on the drafts and keep whatever heat my little space heaters produce inside. The send DH off to Florida probably on Monday.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

We’re going to a garlic festival Sunday but we don’t have any other plans.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Flu shots tomorrow, woohoo.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
My brother is calling in the IOU I gave him (he asked for) a few years ago for his birthday and we are going to see Cabaret at a local theatre. I've seen the movie before, but never the stage version. I'm looking forward to it, except for the prospect of trying to find parking in Old Town, not pretty.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
We had an appointment with a psychologist last night.(All of us) Mr. S had another meltdown and ran off, which culminated with him pulling the fire alarm. Every day a new disaster.
It's supposed to rain all weekend, which is going to be delightful for us. Sigh...
