Off to get coffee. 

Parking lot sitting watching people like a spider. 

Listening to audiobook of Alice and that wasskaly wabbit. 

Two Dark Shadows episodes under my belt. More later.
Some Masterclasses later. 

Maybe have a hamburger today. Haven’t had a hamburger in a month.  Maybe a dr. pepper. 

Finished all my game stuff — crossword, vertex, spelling bee, wordle. 

Might do some yard work.
Keep reading Haroun and the Sea Stories.
cherry pick some Pauline Kael reviews. 

That’s about it. 

Have a practically-perfect-in-every-way day you guys.

I have started a long time project. To clean out (read throw away) stuff in my storage room. Considering all the myriads of things that are in there, most of them i dont even remember, that have stacked over the 30+ years i have lived here it is a lot. But the waterpipes guys must have access when they come and right now not even a weasel might wrangle himself inside. To do it all in one go would have caused a coronary so i'm taking baby steps, one bag or box at a time and when i reached a full bag of stuff that can be thrown away i stop for the day. So far almost all have been thrown away (why didn't i do that in the first place?).

Good for you Kurben, pace yourself. Prepare for some memories along the way.

It feels really good to let go of things. Less trouble, less worry.

i look at all my stuff and know my kids aren’t going to want most of it when I die, so getting rid of it my way is great.

In two minds... leaving a mess for the kids to deal with might be the only chance of payback for a lifetime of cleaning up after them. 🤔
I'm kidding of course. 🙂💜

That is just fantastic! You lucky kids.

Unbelievable. I am sitting in a parking lot. Stupid young bitch pulls up next to me and parks. 

She gets out, runs into business. Gone a couple minutes. Comes back out gets in van and sits. She does this 3 more times — So Far — we aren’t done. 

The third time she does it, I glance over. Sliding door of van wide open and there is a baby in a car seat and a twoish year old standing in the driver’s seat. No one is in the van with these
 kids.  I’m watching to make sure 2 year old doesn’t climb out of van.  

I could steal these kids and be gone. 

Oh, and it’s 37 degrees out. Door wide open.
