Like, my biggest travel plans are trying to find a way to get to VA to see Holley, but right now EVERYTHING is going towards trying to raise the credit score to get a better chance on applying for a mortgage. As SOON as we get our share of the sale on the old house we want to be OUT of this one.

Co-worker just got back from Scotland (her friends got married in a friggin castle!) and brought me a lovely postcard for my collection. I just forever mourn I never got the chance to go the two times I was in England. A girl can dream, even if that dream won't come until semi-retirement.

So, it's been about one month since Macklemore got dropped from the Ed Sheeran tour and my Macklemore video got a big bump from the news, I'm donating the extra revenue from it (about $400) to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund (pcrf.net) and hey, maybe you want to also

PCRF
The Palestine Children's Relief Fund was established in 1992 by concerned humanitarians in the USA to bring injured and sick children for free medical care they could not get locally

Pro: I'm off work until Wednesday because my mother is out of town and I have to be home to cover the nursing gaps. Con: my body decided it was the perfect time to get the 1st seasonal cold. Pro: plenty of time for the annual OtGW & Hill House rewatch. Con: all the damn coughing.

It actually FEELS like Fall outside, but this is North Carolina and I know better than to trust it. Still nice to have a gloomy, coolish, curl up in bed day. Which means it's obviously OtGW time.

Seeing the headline "the babysitters club turns 40" just REALLY made me feel my age. That was actually the first book club I ever belonged to though and I still adore and remember many of those books to this day.

Seriously, don’t watch the fucking show. Don’t review it or recap it. Don’t give it the fucking time of day. This isn’t like “Aw, okay, well, don’t do it next time!” This is like, “We are no longer friends.”

It's September and we're under a friggin heat advisory. I just want my nice Autumn breeze! (But not too breezy because I literally only know where 2 of my 5 million cardigans currently live and it's still too hot to dig through everything in the garage.)

We live on a cul-de-sac now and as we were turning to get down our road we see our neighbor hauling ass with his little greyhound who is doing his greyhound best to catch the fully grown doe that was just out for an evening stroll. Truly something I never thought I'd witness.

So my new neighborhood, much like my old one, has a large urban deer population. The difference is this herd is far less wary of the humans. My neighbor also owns a lovely little greyhound. Tonight those two things met in a comedy of errors.

We're officially in the part of August where it's 95% humidity already at 3 in the morning and the day just somehow gets more humid and hell levels of heat. I just want a cooler day. I won't be greedy. I'll take a 75 with low humidity. Please, Mother Nature. Please.

We're also almost officially moved out of the old house. They still have to hire someone to clear out the attic, so I might have one more trip back there, but I'm pretty much done. And now have a year to sort/sell/repack the chaos of my crap in the new place before the next move.

If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists.

A four-panel comic featuring a black cat against a soft turquoise-to-pink gradient background.

Panel 1: The cat looks calmly at the viewer with half-open eyes. Text reads: “Whatever this week asked of you…”

Panel 2: The cat glances slightly to the side with a thoughtful expression. Text reads: “you did the best you could.”

Panel 3: The cat closes its eyes in a gentle smile. Text reads: “So go easy on yourself now, and…”

Panel 4: The cat opens its eyes very wide with a warm, encouraging expression. Text reads: “have a really, really nice weekend!” The artist’s signature, “PURR.IN.INK,” appears in the bottom-right corner.

All the Fauci stuff is a modern day version of the POW/MIA stuff after Vietnam - a way to try to rewrite the history of a huge failure of conservative ideology to be instead a story about how liberals and foreigners stabbed us in the back.

And yup the day got a whole hell of a lot worse. Essentially told I'm basically being let go. They're "going to discuss with others in corporate and come up with some other options for me.' All because I asked for a reasonable accommodation THREE years ago they're just following up on now.

...so on this lovely Wednesday, the start of my work week, I already took a Lyft to my old address instead of my job because I wasn't paying attention. Luckily my job is right around the corner from my old house, but it's still a bad sign for the day ahead.

Look I know bagels and the diabeetus are mortal enemies, but all the low carb ones I've tried have made me decide real bagels are just going to be my once every other week special treat. The taste isn't horrible in the alternatives, but the texture is just wrong. So wrong.

We're going to just throw a tapestry over some totes and stack books on top of them because I really don't want to buy a huge bookshelf until we're in our permanent (hopefully) house.

Tried to move 2 bookcases out of the house today. Both broke. Apparently they didn't want to leave the house. I'm not too bummed as one was a twist and turn I literally bought 20 years ago and the other was one my grandmother got from a yard sale 35 years ago so...

Persepolis 1 & 2 are beautiful graphic novels and a bridge between cultures. Seeing Iran history and life through the eyes of Satrapi as she grows up listening to Michael Jackson and Madonna and has a punk phase and turns goth and all that was mind expanding for me. What a loss. R.I.P.

Marjane Satrapi, author of 'Persepolis,' dies at 56
The French-Iranian artist and film director 'died of sadness a little over a year after the death of Mattias Ripa, her husband and the love of her life,' people close to her said.

Heard a country song today so full of corny innuendo I was actually both a little insulted and offended. Don't know the actual title but from the chorus I'm guessing it's something about buttering a biscuit.

Just started doing the major pack of my closet for the move and my cat is PISSED. She's absolutely looking at me like she wants to take both arms and a leg. I've "destroyed" two of her hiding places over the past two days and that's clearly unforgivable.

I literally don't even remember their name. A roommate dragged me to their gig at some place in Raleigh during the early 2000s and they dared to cover 'Boys of Summer' and changed the truly iconic line of 'I saw a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac' to their band name. I was immediately done.

How's the stress of packing up a house occupied since 1986 going while also dealing with the body fatigue of PCOS & perimenopause in general you ask? I'm currently at work having only achieved 1 full hour of sleep because my body thinks I need to get up every godforsaken hour.
