What Are You Doing?

So glad we invested (a few years ago) in one of those hoover sucker-upper wet/dry vacs. (Had an accident with our front-loading washing machine and had to borrow a vac from our neighbour. Decided to invest in one for ourselves.)

Earlier this year, my husband (who claims to be sharp as a tack in the brain department) decided to warm up a can of baked beans by putting it in the kitchen sink and running hot water on it. (Don't ask.) Of course he put the plug in the sink so the water wouldn't get wasted. And because it took a while for the sink to fill, he got bored, went into the living room and turned on the TV, got caught up in a programme and, well ...you can guess the rest.

The kitchen floor was flooded with about 2 inches of water. Fortunately we have a large area rug in the kitchen (over the one-piece linoleum) which soaked up quite a bit, so it could have been worse. The water didn't get under appliances or the fitted cupboards or penetrate through to the floorboards, thank goodness. The sucker-upper dried that mess up in just about no time at all, and has already paid for itself. It even dried the carpet which a mop would not have done. But geez....

 

Internally screaming because my coworker is scream-talking on the phone in my quiet office when she's supposed to be on vacation. Go home and let me work write in peace.

 

Mourning my deceased DnD character. May Kiri rest in peace. For now, though, her Thrall remains.

Inshallah. I've got two more days, and I think the worst of it is over.

 

Pondering on if a deaf person became a Buddhist monk. The most random story ideas.

 

I see you specialize in feeding addictions
tempting. so tempting

 

Check cleared, woo-hoo! The best thing about New York is milking it for funds. Gonna keep doing business here, but I'm definitely gonna look for a place outta this state asap. Preferably to a place with more trees than people.

Gonna hangout with the little fuzzball after breakfast. Her birthday is around the corner an I've no idea what to get the kiddo.

 

After further thinking, I will return “Go Set a Watchman”. Seems that Harper Lee never intended to have it published but the publishing company pretty much did it anyway without her consent as she laid on her deathbed.

I’d rather read Twilght than give one more cent to that company.

 

Sauna.

Between löyly's I cool myself in front of my computer. Just read about our neighbours testing some firecrackers.

 

Words of wisdom from our friend Xander.



Hot & thick blackcurrant juice with few very thin ginger slices is something worth trying after staying out for hours in cold weather. (Cold by Finnish standards.)

And now that I have understood that X17 is in Tasmania... I just love this story of a unknown son of a Tasmanian apple farmer...

 

Trying to decide on the skeletal structure of a nine-tails' ass end. The best I've got so far is two layers of tails, five below, and four above, but I can't decide where the spine starts to branch off.

 

Eating pizza at Roll en Roaster. Dunno why a burger joint is making pizza, but eh, it tastes alright.

From here it's time to go to the movies. Maybe I should wear my old man mask and get that discount...

The picture's broken

 

I forgot my umbrella which normally was okay but not today.

 

Wrong kind of nine-tails, but thank you.

 

are there other nine-tails myths?

 

The Nine-Tailed Fox/Ghost Fox from China and Kitsune from Japan.

 

Watching movies (il)legally and eating popcorn. No, wait, I was eating popcorn, now I'm typing and wondering where the popcorn went....

 

The popcorn took a plane and came here. We are having drinks and watching wuxia series. You can now rest assured.
