I've spent the last 26 years making the world more cynical, one child at a time. Now I'd like to see what we can do for the rest of them.
Seeing all the Aurora Borealis pix tonight on both FB and BSky, this is how I feel. Find the joy where we can; it's worth it.
Still capable of joy, I love this for us

I tried to get NL pix; these were the best I could get. Oddly, they were more to the west, nothing from the north.

Never been a huge JCO fan (talented writer, just not to my taste) but her posts lately have brought me much joy and amusement.

Y'all, I'm getting the porch steps and decking replaced, and two handrails for the steps! And it sounds like they can get it done yet this fall!
And I didn't have to bully the Schmoop; he knew it's what I really wanted. Love that guy!

I've hated this porch material since it was installed 18yrsago - doesn't match the house, it's slippery as hell whenever it gets wet... and as we age, it's getting more treacherous.
Will it add value to the house? For us, yes. For resale, not sure. I can bully Schmoop into agreeing, but should I?

Once had a boss whose English teacher taught him you're only allowed so many exclamation points in your life (like ten or something?), so use them sparingly.
I just responded to the 59 people who wished me HB on FB. I think I blew right past the limit. Plus there will be a few stragglers tomorrow.

Not me tearing up watching Marchy's "Welcome Home" at Boston's TD Garden.
I mean, he cried first, anyway.

In other news. neighbor is coming by tomorrow to give us estimate on a) installing a handrail for the porch steps and maybe anti-slip treads, and b) replacing the steps, decking, and two railings for the steps, maybe with porch railings. A is necessary, B is ideal if I can afford it. #fingerscrossed

Was looking forward to having the house to myself as Schmoop has a sleep study tonight; turns out I'm running out of entertainment options and getting tired at 9pm. That never happens during the week. Might force myself to stay up just to prove I can. Weird.

I do like that when I search Walmart (I know, shut up, I have Reasons) for "cat fud" I get the results I need.

I discovered tonight that I was following DOL, against my will, as they were propagandizing "we only hire AMERICAN workers". F'in BS. UNFOLLOW AND BLOCK.
I do willingly follow NOAA, but that's about it. Oh, and the Consumer Protection Agency.

It actually makes me quite mad to see government agencies used as pure propaganda channels, but as they are all just Hatch Act violating 4chan meme lord accounts for the present, it’s worth blocking them.

Update on Road Trip w/ Mom: Fabulous Success!! She loved all the sights I picked, she tried some new foods and liked them, my kid was GREAT in his show, we both managed to climb to kid's 3rd floor apt, met up with my sisters for SunPM meal, and we're already planning a girls' trip w/ more family.

Taking tomorrow off to road trip to Madison with Mom to see my kid in Sweeney Todd. Slightly nervous for the trip, b/c while Mom and I get along really well, we've never travelled together; I'm used to being the Mom in charge when I go with the other kids. They don't get to judge me, but...

TFW you're proud of yourself for refraining from correcting your ex's misspellings on FB.

How do y'all come up with your spooky-season riffs on your user names? I used to think I was clever, but I've got nothin'.

Credit scores are so fucked up. My bank says I have a FICO of 819. My main CC says I have a FICO of 767. My mortgage co says I have a FICO of 750. And that doesn't count non-FICO credit scores.
Before last year's refi, main CC had my FICO at 50 points higher than bank's FICO. Nothing makes sense.

11:54 pm, and Walz finally showed up. I was a bit grumbly that he hadn't been there earlier when the proclamation was read. Ok, now he's redeemed himself to intro Willie Nelson. #FarmAid

There is something near my house making a cicada-like noise; today is the first day I've noticed it. Not a cricket - he lives in the garage - but that sort of whirring noise that ramps up, then stops, then ramps up again.
I live in Minnesota; we don't have cicadas here. What might it be?

Can't tell whether that low humming noise is the dishwasher or my brother tractoring... maybe both? #FridayNightExcitement
