I asked the Munchkin an hour ago if she did any homework tonight, the answer was no. I told her she needs to get on that. It's now 10:30 and she's playing Stairway to Heaven on the ukulele.
The old retired right wing nut job couple a few streets over have a new sign up. “LAW & ORDER: VOTE TRUMP” and the cognitive dissonance among Americans is staggering.
I've long contemplated sending them a postcard with something that will grind their gears. My new idea: A collage of few photos of the J6 insurrection- rioters assaulting Capitol Police, the gallows built for Pence, the lunatic with the bison headdress and spear etc., with the words “LAW & ORDER: VOTE TRUMP” in block letters will do.
As we do some last packing away of the house clutter into the garage before the realtor photographer arrives, and thinking to our move out of Portland after 12 years, I think back to when my daughter was a small child here and whenever she drew our house she included gray rain clouds above instead of sun. 😂 #pdx
Sirius Tom Petty channel is wonderful but they need to stop running the prerecorded shows from TP. It just makes me sad to hear him narrate stuff as if he was live.
My poor Beanie baby had hives today. This was after her day at the spa… I mean vet. Her welts are still slightly visible. Knowing the provenance of dog allergies is harder to discover than knowing the mysteries surrounding the origin of the Sphinx.
Ok the collection between me and Munchkin is down to 4 guitars, 3 basses, 6 ukuleles, a mandolin, a melodica, a piano, a MIDI keyboard controller, a few amps, parts to build 3 more guitars and I am not looking forward to moving it all a thousand miles. Gear acquisition syndrome is a real disease that was exacerbated by the pandemic but little discussed by the medical community at large.
Courtesy reminder. If moving to a different state, resist the urge to move your flat pack furniture. Just give that stuff away or it’ll be back to sawdust by the time your moving van has arrived at your destination.
@jimray if it was Ikea flatpack I was giving away it might, but it was more like junk from Target. 😂 (There are a few Ikea things that are going with us.)
One thing you don't think about ahead of time as a parent is the stuff you buy for your child over several years for things that variously spark their interest which they abandon. I mean, we all do this as kids, no surprise. But as my 13 year old sheds things as we prep for a move, I see all that stuff we provided for her which was just passing fancy now being prepped for donation. It's karma, baby!
