Some of those UPS Store type places are open Sundays I bet. Like, a we-pack-and-ship.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Overheard Matilda, as she, Emmett and Hec were in the nerd hole, looking at some hipster-mocking website:

Do hipsters look like that? Oh. I thought a hipster was an evil monster.

dana,

you can look online to see which stores might be open on Sundays. a lot of pack and ship places are not open, but if you go to ups or fedex websites, you can see your options. Better still, some of the ups/fedex places have packing materials, so you can pack it yourself with a ship label and toss it in a ups/fedex box if it is small enough.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I haven't bought a car. But I think I've found one. I'd have bought the one I test drove, but there was another that met my criteria for the same price and slightly better mileage, so I put a deposit down on that. They'll call me when it's out of pre-sales servicing. Should be Monday, new car, all good. Fingers are crossed. Mileage is much better on it that any cars I've seen--easily half my cars, at maybe a couple years newer. That and passing the mechanic's evaluation is more important to me than a test drive, since I've driven a few of them before.

What kind of car? Also, congrats!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Husband on the phone figured out that I could rip them using my mother's computer, and I have 4GB worth of space on memory sticks with me. I think that will be the easiest solution.

She's not wrong.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good news, ita !!

Good solution, Dana!

I am making Italian wedding soup from a Stonewall Kitchen mix. A mix which started with me making 70 meatballs. So mostly a spice mix. But it smells delicious!

Ooh, I love Italian wedding soup.

I can't decide if I should put in all of the pasta and escarole now, or save it and put it in fresh when I reheat. Because clearly I'm not eating it all right now.
