The white wardrobe in my bedroom is now white with blue trim and coral and blue drawer pulls. What else can I paint? I want to paint everything!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Catching up:
Yay, haircut, Perkins!
Good on you for calling the locksmith, Zen. I'd have done the same.
Consuela, that's a cautionary tale about vetting petsitters, no doubt (and such a sad reality for that kid), but it must have been guilt-inducing and angering for your parents.
Liese, I'm with you on the crotchety. Of course, everybody in the world suddenly *is* a baby from my POV. ::waggles cane in a menacing fashion::.
Erin, ugh. And ow. What do state health folks intend to do for those people who don't have/don't listen to or watch radio and tv? Newspaper announcement? There should be some plan. The present one is obviously inefficient. I'm sorry for the blargh.
JZ, I'm full of admiration and encouragement for you and your neighbors and compatriots. They couldn't have a better spokeswoman than you, with your gift of language.
The rest of you, make me tired with your industry, make me smile with your usual perspective, wit, and charm.
I'ma go celebrate, in a very low-key way, another year married to this cute guy. Laters.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I got up at 7 to take the dog for a walk, and went back to bed until noonish. My schedule is all over the place these days.

not your mom's socks.
I was in bed, sleepily plotting how to kill my neighbor for daring to start mowing their lawn at that time.
The possible means to this end I believe you could come up with are making me chuckle.

Congrat, Bev! Happy anniversary.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
But before I go--sleep patterns?
You know, I hoped briefly that moving three hours westward would shift my sleep pattern back into something vaguely diurnal. But though I set the alarm for eight, and get up no matter how late (early) I was still up, I can't seem to get to bed before 2:00. And it's usually after 3:00 before I do. Sleeping later though, is no longer an option I allow myself. I'd love to shift it back to 7:00--or even 6:00 in summer. About the time I meet myself coming and going I'll probably give up.

Thanks, smonster. It's been fun reading about your St. Woot.
And Askye's Vermont adventures.
And sara's meeting Taylor's boy--so cute!

you want to come visit? I have some dining room chairs.
And when I was consulting, I found that my natural rhythm was sleeping 2AM to 10AM. I miss that schedule.

I would like to sleep midnight-8, pretty much. But also a total lazy-ass! So I might wake up, but I don't want to do much....
Yeah, yesterday AND today I set my alarm for 9AM, thinking I"d go to yoga at 10 (normally there's an afternoon class, but not holiday weekend). Didn't happen either day. This morning I woke up slightly before, snoozed a bit, got up, read the internet on my phone for a while in bed, decided I would need to get up NOW if I was going to get up...and rolled over and went back to sleep for another hour. Sigh.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
HOLY CRAP Y'ALL
A large tree from the neighbor's yard just fell over across our yard and over to the yard on the other side.
While we were sitting right under the skylight in the nerdhole to watch it fall.
DID NOT fall on the roof (that we were DID I MENTION sitting directly under). But still. ADRENALINE.
