That is weird, Atropa, but titles often are weird for no good reason. I am excited for you!

PMM, is that “Wednesday” like today is Wednesday so these are Wednesday clothes or like Wednesday Addams?

Ooh I am also middle aged and therefore intrigued by POG spindrift

I quit working earlier than usual (started early too) and the dog is whining that we aren’t going out promptly. But he always wants to go to the school nearby, and we can’t go there until school is over around 4. He thinks I’m just being mean. He does not understand clocks.

Ahh, the days of the leather pants discussions...

meara, poor dog. So disappointed in the vagaries of time.

Poor skunk, poor raccoon.

Himself has had two Mohs surgeries, and no sign of recurrance. May the same be true for Buffistas.

Trudy, good on getting the EMTs to take your mom where she needed to go.

Best of luck to all threatened by however many inches of ice. And may there be enough snacks easily available for all.

I have a dog who hates rain, cold, and snow and yet lives for walks. I have not yet figured out a way to get through to him that winter is not just some big trick that we’re playing on him to deprive him of the regular, warm outside.

Well, because winter is a big trick to deprive us of a warm outside.

I took Mom out to dinner tonight to celebrate her remission news, and the restaurant manager comped our meal for taking too long to prepare. Which we hadn't even noticed, we'd had croissants to start and Mom's salad came out plenty quickly so neither of us were going hungry or getting impatient.

I decided to spend the unexpected windfall on this insulated outdoor cat shelter for the sole remaining alley cat from the colony I used to take care of: [link]

It won't arrive before the snow hits, but hopefully I can get it assembled and set up in a secure spot soon enough to be useful to Jojo this winter.

I cannot say enough about the EMTs in this city. One other time we were doing the MSK-permission-thing and part way through looked me and quietly said "we're taking her to Pres" and then quietly stayed with me until it was clear this wasn't the stroke they feared.

If he'd had another call obviously he'd have left, but he didn't and spent his gap just hanging so I wasn't alone.

Matt, that's just good news on top of good news!

How awesome of you.

Oh, it's the latter.

I may or may not have ordered a LOT of stuff when Killstar had that collab on clearance. And I may or may not have also added some stuff to a Hot Topic (or maybe it was Box Lunch or Her Universe, but they're all the same parent company) order I was making for someone else.

I work at home and don't go out much (most of my friends moved away or their lives got too busy to hang). I regained 10 - 15 lbs after slacking on diet and exercise when the rolling series of disasters started last year, and I refuse to rebuy my wardrobe just yet. I'm situationally out of cope (which, being situational, can't be medicated away, and I already have all the therapy tools, and also, I can't really afford to spend at least $200 a week on a therapist), which lowers my desire to do fuck all. Therefore, I am living the lounge clothes lifestyle again. I force myself to look human for Eucharist, but that's about it.

I thought it probably was, but the day of the post being Wednesday made me less sure...I am all in favor of loungewear based wardrobes, especially pop culture centered loungewear!
