Inara: So, explain to me again why Zoe wasn't in the dress? Mal: Tactics, woman. Needed her in the back. 'Sides, those soft cotton dresses feel kinda nice. It's the whole... air-flow.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

EM's regularly scheduled Tuesday visit, happened today instead (because Pilates is closed for Thanksgiving week, and today's session was "independent and optional". I opted to not.)

The table got cleared of many things in prep for Thanksgiving, and EM will come over on Wednesday and help with housecleaning etc.

But also I did the following:

1. Scheduled surgery for Moh's procedure and melanoma excision on Dec. 1. (Next available was in January).

2. Contacted window specialist who installed our curved windows to have him come by and close my damn window which is stuck open. (And it's very cold in my place, because...)

3. Scheduled visit by HVAC specialist to fix the heat in my place which has been dysfunctional for a while.

4. Reached out to neighbor for her housecleaning service, so I can get some regular cleaning here, as I'm in a perpetual state of behind.

So executive function exercised.

Also, Matilda's friend Mia is joining us for Thanksgiving for the fourth year in a row, and that is lovely news. We love having her.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

...window which is stuck open...heat in my place which has been dysfunctional for a while

Not a good combination. Worse in SF in November, I imagine.

I wish you quick, easy, and inexpensive fixes.
