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

What are y'all doing this weekend?

Back to normal Sat things: farmer's market, breakfast out, donut pick-up, groceries. Now gonna knit for an hour, then walk the dogs, then clean out garage.

I'd like to do some house cleaning and sewing this weekend. We shall see.

Supposed to go glasses shopping with some friends, then go to a corn maze!

Thrive to spite them

I worked today. It was not a good day to find things. My eye has bothered me the last 2 days. I think I just need new glasses but that had to wait until Dec ...I think I need different prisms or at least in my right eye it doesn't bother me as much when my glasses are off I'm going to go home and rest my eyes for awhile ( aka catnap) and then work on some art. There is a tutorial I want to follow along for making small mixed media cards. And then tonight I'll watch FSU most likely lose to Clemson

Tomorrow M and I may go to this thing in downtown Greenville. Depends on how we both feel. I need to do some laundry and more art.

Our wings are not tired.

and hopefully getting to tour this house with my realtor at some point: [link]

Some very cool detail work in there, Matt.

Apple picking, pumpkin-stuff procurement, bonfires, spooky movies, Fall Festival, corn maze... we're very seasonal! Well done, team.

Hope you get to see the place in person, Matt. Exciting.

Craft show was fun -- didn't stay too long, but I can scoot back tomorrow after I ponder a couple of items I might pick up for holiday gifts.

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

I was going to go to the NY Art Book Fair in Chelsea today, but I got there, saw how long the line to get in was, and turned around and left. So that was a waste.

Long lines freak me out too, Tom. My mind thinks Covid spread.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I went and got the cat food that I absolutely had to get to avoid being eaten while I sleep and then figured I could go to TJ’s for pumpkiny goodness or maybe a movie or something but as I was driving in that direction the alternative of going home and taking a nap came out of nowhere to win the day. Still more than I usually do on a Saturday, tbh

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I did not go to TJs. I am crushingly exhausted. I think the past 2 weeks finally caught up to me. I've been doing nothing but loafing and reading all day. I wish I could nap, but I have to be really sick or really drugged to nap, and I am neither. (You'd think that being exhausted would allow me to nap, but apparently my brain says no.)

So we're figuring out what to order for dinner, and I might wash some dishes.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

My realtor came through with a showing at 11am Sunday, which is a conflict if Mom wants to come along and see (she might potentially end up moving in with me at some point, so her opinion has weight) but no problem for a heathen like me.

While it's not love at first sight, this place does have most of the important features I'm looking for—in the right size range, central heat & air, wood floors, big windows that make it light and airy. The bathroom is the big question mark.

Well, that and the suspiciously low cost per square foot. If that's due to construction or plumbing issues, or something like termites or vermin, we have a problem. If it's because it's on a busy, noisy street that backs up at rush hour and drop off/pick up times for the nearby kindergarten, all is good — I live on Main Street with a street musician playing loudly outside my building every weekend and sleep like a baby. If it's because former owners were murdered in grisly fashion on the premises, all is good — I've been reading horror novels since I was in grade school and sleep like a baby.
