You couldn't find a place to park in Jackson and my coffee house went from no one but me and a few others to people stacking up three deep along the walls waiting for orders. My parents ran into the same thing outside Pittsburgh to Mom's side of the family early Thanksgiving dinner that I missed and it was excessive in food and people so I can't be ( Read more... )

My back does feel better so that gives me hope that the radio ablation will help some. That said, I still have no desire to do much. I didn't even want to write too much today or clean or work on the research.

So let's just dive into the thefridayfive and fandom friday

1. What is your favorite childhood memory? This is shockingly hard. One of them would be ( Read more... )

and I had no nice fire. So I walk out the door (without the clothes I wanted to donate to the veterans) and get hopeful. There's no rain but it's grey. I'm about 20 miles out of town when a blinding ice storm hits. It is so bad even 18 wheelers are doing 45 mph ( Read more... )

It was in the 60s when I left for Jackson. As I was at the coffee shop, the patio umbrellas started whirling like tops. The wind had suddenly hit 35-40 mph. By the time I left the coffee shop and did some grocery shopping the temperature had dropped 20 degrees ( Read more... )

I had planned to do a Point Pleasant run but then it was raining. It's going to rain for days. Sigh. The rain didn't bother me as far as the trip but I wanted to take all the Halloween village boxes and the huge can store a body in it plastic tote back to my office. I wasn't taking the former out in the rain but I did haul the latter ( Read more... )

Things are NOT going back into the TARDIS ( Read more... )

So this week's writing post is self indulgent. It's part of my process is to talk to others when I get stuck and that often helps me to get things moving. I was talking to evil_little_dog last night and thought this would be a neat thing to continue here ( Read more... )

two stores opened today a book store and something calling itself a mercantile. Before I went I detoured to the coffee shop which wasn't a great choice because in walks one of the Maga idiots with a t-shirt Jesus Won (I don't know about you but around here many Trump signs also included so Jesus can win). It was all I could do to not ask him ( ( Read more... )

So the dead computer DID fix itself and it's alive again (12 years and still chugging) I was able to get everything off of there. Weirdly I was missing some class notes on the external drive so I'm glad I was able to get back in. Chrome no longer works at all but that's it. Everything else is fine ( Read more... )

My ancient (12 years) old HP desktop came up with a massive error at dinner time (it heard me talking about replacing it I think) none of the repairs worked until I went to the advanced attempt. 3 hours later I see it's back to the main screen. It's too late (i.e. my brain shut down) to go see if I can get my stuff off of it. don't get me wrong. I ( Read more... )
