Am home and now caught up with Natter and Bitches! I will need to shut down the computer after I type this post because Tom and I agreed this week that we spend too much stupid time watching TV and surfing aimlessly on laptops.

Gooood vacation. Very chill. Everything was awesome except for the severe sunburn I got on my chest and upper back and upper arms, thanks to generic sunblock that DIDN'T BLOCK THE SUN. Lord.

Want to go to Hollygrove Market tomorrow for farm food, just hoping I can motivate myself out of the house.

Silly me, thinking it only flooded here during hurricanes.

Um, yeah. Our block is OK, but it would be difficult to get here I think in floodwaters. I remember one night it taking me ages to find a clear path to drive home. The flooding is not typical, but (obvs) it does happen.

Money stuff- ugh. I am in a pretty perpetual denial about it that needs to stop.

I put the hardware for a project in a safe place. If only I knew where that was.

So far I have 9 small ebay listings up and 6 books on Amazon for decent money. Now to get some bigger items on ebay.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Welcome home, Nora!

Our block is OK,

I seriously doubt your block was okay during this flooding. Because I drove around from St. Charles to Tchoup in my ill-advised panic and it wasn't okay ANYWHERE, except the Breaux Mart lot.

My new roommate is baking cupcakes right now. FTW.

You go, msbelle! I don't know what I would sell, really. I was up in the wee smalls last night brainstorming crafts I could make from melted Mardi Gras beads and sell on Etsy.

eta on a related note, Nora, didn't you say you had some extra Mardi Gras beads?

Norwegian police are saying that the shooter killed at least 80 at the Labour Party youth movement event on the island. Most were between 16 and 22.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I just read that, Ginger. It's almost incomprehensible.

It's hard to believe that one shooter could do so much.

Because books.

Has it been reported what his motive was? Or what he protesting?

smonster I no doubt have more STUFF than most, so there is easy pickings for me to part with. A second part-time job would help a lot, but no way I could do that without working weekends and that doesn't work with mac.
