Thrive to spite them

Pillow forts are nice but they do take up room on the bed.

M usually has a pillow hoard under his head and I'm where I'm good with 2 as long as one is the squishy pillow that molds to my head

So I heard back from Fiskars on Amazon , they told me to "pacify" me they could bump up to 20% discount. Or I could return it to Amazon. I thought I had to try the seller first. So now through Amazon I'm getting a full refund. This makes no sense.

Also yesterday all day I thought it was Sunday. I don't know why.

Seriously, if he added 1 more pillow, I think I'd end up with 1/4 of the bed as my real estate.

Well, at least you're getting a full refund from *someone.*

oh, Shir, I'm glad you're still alive. I think of you and hope you continue alive and uninjured (physically).

On the lighter side, I've been watching YouTube videos in which experts on, say, historic naval warfare give their views on movie/TV depictions (wood floats) or piracy. In this one, an expert on historic pirates ends up rating the realism in The Muppet Treasure Island ("the most beautiful woman on the planet ... and she's a pig").

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

Timelies all!

Last night wasn’t too bad. No meltdowns and Mr. S went to bed at a reasonable time. (Maybe he got tired running around trick-or-treating)

Laura, you're always an early-morning timezoned poster to me. Have a safe and uneventful voyage.

ND, I hope that the business news would be better, and that you'd be able to be less stressed about it.

meara and David, oh, how it's the everyday sort of things that "ping" the loss so much. My heart goes out to you.

Sheryl, I hope you'll be able to get back home as soon and as peacefully as possible. It reads so frustrating, on so many levels.

Also, askye wrote so well about hoe the experience may be especially difficult on Mr. S.

It took until this morning for my sweet potato brain to realize that I could

Hey, but you've figured it out on time, so go you! And congrats on the new mattress - may it be good for backs and just-the-right-amount-of-pillows and naps and good dreams.

I only had two trick-or-treaters for Halloween rather than the horde I was expecting. But they were cute, and made me feel my preparations weren't entirely in vain. I'll just have leftover candy for the next month or two.

Leftover candy? is there such a thing?

Our wings are not tired.

Yes, either toss the candy in the freezer for emergencies or sometimes assisted living or nursing homes will take them.

I'm packing my car - in the snow!! Going to lunch with my son, gf, sister, and niece to say byes. Packing the various things in my car is a real Tetris experience.
