needs something 🤔 

update: ohhh around $4-5k for the electrical panel prolly afterall  ("don't lick it" another one of my sayings) days old guy. and Sis agrees, no kids go to Hawaii, they're just gonna have to keep themselves alive for 1 damn week. now it's time for yoga, which I want as much of as I can get before I am lying on my tummy. I want one of those crochet bathing suits

next year's punitive teaching schedule has given me TODAY cz I closed my laptop immediately, 🖕 work. I put an apple tarte in the oven and climbed back in bed with my novel til the electrician / yoga-time. I am stretched out under dogs, swiping at cowboy pop-ups like they're laser dots on the floor

update: it's Friday so of course firingsfriday yay! - today's version is my new schedule for next academic year, on campus 5 days a week 9-5. lucky me, I get to stop worrying about making sure my current students don't flunk, cz they're all working already and not coming back for class schedules like that. they literally cannot. so, run freeee students, go online, go to ecc, go anywhere both more convenient and cheaper, while I cheerfully wear boots n skirts on this sinking ship then go home to my pond-or-whatever, my life, whatever I have made of it ...

"house sparrows"

I added a massive amount pepper to the seed. I don't hate the squirrels but birds gotta make a living too.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There are no wrong turns, only detours of discovery that teach you the lay of the land. Your sense of direction will recover after your sense of adventure gets a wonderful workout.

lay it on me, man. I love a good workout and love an adventuhr! my current range is staycation and I don't drink, so I am, as my mother would put it, "a wonderfully cheap date" at this current moment.

it is verrry lightly snowing. I like snow, I can see all the animal comings and goings, fresh tracks in the early mornings, the drama of their lives, of life. 

I am putting up xmas lights to further vex my electrical panel while the master electrician is here this afternoon, offsetting inevitably bad news with bright colors.

it is a Fri the 13th, like black cats walking cross your path, today is lucky for me. like a jasper stone in my pocket. 

I have decided that whatever my sister has already decided re HI is fine - I just want my own room, my minimum requirement (non-negotiable) - she complains she's always in charge but she must have control, so I am just gonna GO LIMP as she often advises - whatever is fine as long as there is a door I can shut.

across the board today, I am rolling with "sure!" at whatever comes my way, assuming it is lucky somehow.

We never do know what counts as bad luck, but this Friday the 13th features Mercury and Venus both ending their retrograde journeys, making this the luckiest unlucky day we've had in years.

years.
