Mal ,'Heart Of Gold'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I just read this fantastic long piece about a 40-year-old track record: [link] It's marvelously written and pretty heart-breaking. Ouch.
In an hour I get to sign the final papers for the sale of my folks' condo. And I really need to print out travel documents, since I'm going on a site visit on Monday & Tuesday.
YAY condo sale!!! 6 months ago, this would have seemed impossible.
My watchband just broke. That's the most interesting thing that's happened to me this morning.
(Well, that and stumbling across maybe the most depressingly iconic piece of 1980s footage I've ever seen - VHS tapes being packaged on an assembly line in the US. 2 relics of a long-forgotten age...VHS tapes and American manufacturing jobs.)
Good news on the condo sale, Consuela! Or being almost done with it, anyway.

Right? Sigh.

Wow, that's great!
I am unemployed, so the most interesting thing happening in my life is stupid Facebook games.
OK, here's something: I have a desktop widget that randomly brings up pictures from my photo archive. I just realized this week that it can also selectively show pictures off RSS feeds, so I added the Good Things Happened site.
Yeah, it's actually gone pretty smoothly, although we have some last-minute repairs to get done this weekend, and my brother needs to rent a truck to come pick up furniture. He texted me yesterday asking if a 5x8-foot trailer would be big enough.
Except this is what he's picking up: a queen-sized bed with mattress & box spring; a matching bedside stand; a six-foot-long bureau with a large mirror above it; a dining room set that seats 6 (8 fully extended); a smallish desk; a 7-foot-tall china cabinet with glass doors (which comes apart into two pieces, thank FSM). Oh, and a dolly.
A small trailer will NOT fit all that! Must text him again, he needs to rent a truck.
Yay, condo sale!
That's very cool, Theo, the widget hooked up to Good Things.
I just ordered some more work appropriate pants because I've gone down another size, which is nice as I have been working on losing weight, but I am nowhere near done so I am buying stuff that I won't mind not letting go of in a couple more months, which is a strange mindset for shopping. I really need to find the power cable for my sewing machine so I can learn how to tailor the things I don't want to let go, but I'm pretty sure it's out in the shed and I plan to stay on the couch as much as possible today.

Or a TARDIS trailer.
or it will all fit on the trailer if some of it is left on the curb.
