Still need to get a new pair of glasses, and a replacement passport.
I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

Oh lord -- at the rate I go, it would be years before I got everything replaced.

Oof, I'm sorry to hear that -t. Good vibes your way.
Glad things are getting sorted, Sheryl.
That was it for trick-or-treaters. Ah, well.

No trick-or-treaters here, I think I got back from the movies too late for any that might have stopped by. I'm guessing not too many other people took their 85-year-old mother to see Smile 2 for the holiday, but that's the way we roll.

Ha! That's awesome. Hope it was appropriately scary for the holiday.

Our wings are not tired.
I am supposed to be getting on the road, but I am on my 3rd cup of coffee still in my jammies, and haven't finished packing. Oh well, it will happen.

Laura, I keep needing to tell you that the tip about using the instant pot for my "boiled" eggs. So easy, and they peel so easily! Awesome.

The instant pot is the only way! I couldn't find the rack up here to do so and regretted not finding some way to improvise.

Thrive to spite them
I don't think we had any trick or treaters before I got home I know we didn't after. I mean out light was off so not really inviting any to knock on the door but we aren't in a great spot.
Once again Female Cousin was at the house (she stops by on her way home from work) and I was sharing with her something and she said she is only voting abot the economy and so she is voting for Trump. I found an article that explained why it was bad and read part of it to her . It said 16 Noble Prize winning economists (among others ) say Trump's plan is bad for the economy and why. She then pivoted to " Trump is really smart . He has a high IQ. People say he's dumb but he isn't " At this point I was running late for work and ended the conversation. I don't know if she's bored but nothing will convince her to not vote for Trump. I even told her Harris and Biden weren't my first choices but based on the election I voted for him and now her.

Timelies all!
Should have known it wouldn’t be that easyto get a new id badge for work. Turns out that when your badge is stolen you have to report it to your AO, and then they will sponsor you to get another one. Then you need to make appointments to get fingerprinted and issued a new badge. However, one needs two forms of id, from a very specific list. I have now requested a new copy of my social security card and am in the process of getting a copy of my birth certificate. Who knows how long that will take…
