There's a photographer here with those kind of mad skills so I can see the telltale signs. It still looks awesome! Good morning, CPA! *sets out coffee, teas, juices, apples, brownies, and toast with jam* Bright and sunny. Apparently my front door has finally given up the ghost. And I'm not home. Urgh.

Posted June 13, 2023 So my friends son in law was in a motorcycle accident last night. He was air lifted tto Rochester Mayo Hospital which only means only one thing: head injury. So many people who ride think they know what they're doing, but they don't. When one rides, they let go of the food chain. A deer ran out in front of him. At night. Deer are active mostly at night. NEVER ride at night unless you want to take your life in your own hands. Ride responsibility. I hate to say it, but head injuy usually equals death. Darn kids ! Share this post Link to post

New door needs to be bought, then painted the community colour (buy your own paint, paint it yourself), then installed. Kind of gard to do from the other end of the island.

The front door didn't want to close. The back door will not open. I had to slam the front door from inside and sneak out the sliding door. And... neither Julian nor I could get the screws off the car's front licence plate so we had to cut it off. I hope I can get it attached to the new-to-me car tomorrow. Share this post Link to post

Posted June 14, 2023 Yay for car for sure! I'll insure it en route to work then pay someone to do the ownership transfer and licensing. The door is insane. Share this post Link to post

Posted June 14, 2023 Last night at midnight. So it needs to be renewed today and the car needs to be insured and licenced today and it's a shop day and I'm missing staff. Somehow it will all happen. Good morning, CPA! *sets out coffee, teas, juices, apples, brownies, and toast with jam* Bright and sunny so far. One of the dogs decided I had to wake up before 6 a.m. today, this after a restless mosquito-y night where I didn't get to sleep until after 1 a.m. Sigh. Share this post Link to post

So far Sleeping Beauties has been.... weird, but then most stuff by King is weird. lol. My favorite is Pet Semetary. It's so good! And Carrie! Those are both great books! I have a relevant picture if I can find it. If you like Pet Sematary you might also like Revival. It's... bleak. And fantastic. Reddit continues to be stubborn. There are some news articles if you just search "reddit API." So I'm going to continue to stay off the site for now. There's also a site called reddark where you can see which subreddits are still shut down without actually visiting reddit. Lots of them still are, so I'm hoping the protest will continue until something actually changes. That's so much going on Lagie, I hope it all works out! I found it! Relevant Stephen King picture, from Halloween 2021. (Sorry if it's big, I can't do a spoiler box on mobile - on my computer now, fixed it!)

Relevant Stephen King picture, from Halloween 2021 that is awesome! sunny today. i have some dragony things happening today too. tonight i have a group get-together at the UU church i've been going to now. we meet once a month, and i get to lead next month. when i was planning dinner last night, i motioned to what was left (3 pieces of pizza) and asked hubby if that was enough for dinner for him, and mentioned when i was going to leave, and he's all "oh, where are you going tomorrow?" and i'm just going to be patient and explain like i would to a kid for the 93rd time where i'm going. some time ago, i mentioned that an event i was going to had been on the calendar on the fridge for months, and he says "oh, you mean the calendar i never look at?" but now that he puts his volunteer dates on that same calendar, he forgets to look at it again. so even though tonight's event has been there for a few months, i just told him "yep, i'm going to a thing at UU. we meet the second tuesday of each month." and he'll forget again next month. *sigh* Share this post Link to post
