Thrive to spite them

For donuts I miss good apple cider donuts

But as for Krispy Kreme and Dubkin sometimes I want one and sometimes the other. Although Krispy Kremes aren't as great the next day as Dunkin donuts are.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Same, Drew. I guess time does fly when you're happy.

Thirteen years seems impossible, wow.

We're basically done packing! Some quick morning stuff, because, you know, we need to sleep and ablute, but other than that... done. Whew. Fingers crossed for smoothness tomorrow, which I do anticipate. As I said to DP earlier, "I just realized I have to UNpack all this crap next. WHAT."

Our lease isn't up until March 31, so I can take my time on coming back to clean (a bit -- we're using their cleaning crew to avoid any steep cleaning costs), empty the fridge (which is pretty well empty), grab two paintings, and then do the walk-through with one of the mangers. I'm leaving a chair and a step stool here along with some cleaning supplies, vacuum, and trash bags, but that's it. I'm actually glad we have the extra week, or else I think I would be stressing about all that right now.

So, time to chill and unwind, then sleep.

Our wings are not tired.

Happy moving ~ma!

I went and got blood drawn this morning. My doc wants to make sure I have appropriate antibodies now or some such. Also the usual checks. Eh, we'll see what it all looks like.

Movers called and are fifteen minutes out, woot!

What is even happening?

Good luck, Jen! I'm glad you get the extra time. That overlap makes it easier.

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

Toronto had to close a subway station this morning due to beaver: [link]

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Good luck with the move, Jen!

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

What kind of peculiar choices does a beaver have to make to end up in a subway station?

A counterpart in one of my retailers' customer service departments is getting on my nerves. They asked for a replacement lid for an 8 qt stockpot and we are sending a twinpack of a 10" and 12" lid because that is easier than liberating the one lid from a complete set and they are SO CONFUSED because there is no number 8 in that. Obviously, the 8 qt stockpot should have a "size 8" lid. Obviously.

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.

Happy moving day, JenP! May there be no strained backs, pinched fingers, broken glasses or missing pots!
