My grandmother loathed "Amazing Grace" but it was my grandfather's favorite hymn ever, so they played this awesome bluesy version with a sort of barrel-roll piano.
Hey, Jess, did you ever get that box?

Note to self: there are holes in the floor between basement and first floor. Eau de stain will seep upstairs. (Windows were cracked, and I may open a few more.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Thanksgiving is very specific in its meaning for me. It means sarameg comes in from out of town, and maybe I get to see her at Kat's. Before that it was something we objected strenuously to in Canada. And before that it didn't exist.

Yeah, I like my new TG tradition. Feels like it belongs to me, rather than obliged to someone else . Xmas belongs to my family, extra so because of the nephew's birthday. But TG? TG is mine and I am always thankful for the gifts (people) I carve out the time for specifically.
Tomorrow I must: pay my bills, fill out my performance appraisal, sort out my timecard, cause I screwed something up MONTHS ago and just noticed (charged a holiday when I mean to charge a vacation. Think I can fix it by charging one of my holidays to vacation coming up.)

So I apparently slept through a wicked storm which may have involved a tornado just 2-3 miles from me: [link] . Peeled the roof of some townhouse apartments. Eek.
Weren't too many branches in my yard, though most of the leaves are down now. And the magnolia down the block lost some limbs. Apparently not as bad here.
