Thank all that's holy, this weekend is finally over. The 5k went fine Saturday morning - the last mile was run/walk, probably mostly because of the heat and allergies and exciting addition of exhaust fumes to my usual breathing challenges - and I technically took 3rd in my age group, but there were a lot of age groups, so it's not really that ( Read more... )

Hot and sore with too much to do for the amount of brain power at my disposal. Not entirely uncommon this time of year, but it's been a hell of a week in general. The funeral was interesting, as expected, but fell on the positive side of that equation rather than negative. My opinions on her children haven't changed, but that's neither here nor ( Read more... )

Yes, I know I virtually just posted, but this is the one with what I actually intended to write when I opened up Semagic. This is the business front, specifically tracking purchasing via databases ( Read more... )

Okay, so, this weekend. This weekend was the kick-off to summer around our household despite the actual temperatures. Friday was community garage sale days for two local towns, Saturday and Sunday were the first Tiffin flea market of the year (held once or twice a month throughout the seasonable weather), and Sunday was the first of the larger, ( Read more... )

I am so very glad that I work for myself. This way, when I fall asleep at my desk, I don't piss anyone off. Well, besides me, but that's really more along the lines of annoyance rather than the significant anxiety and overwhelming guilt that doing so in an office on someone else's dime would be engendering ( Read more... )

For the sake of (hopefully) expedited hardware repair, I'm making a trek to the Apple store just over an hour away tomorrow. Afterward, I'm planning on an inaugural visit to Whole Foods, which is probably overrated but I'm wildly curious about anyway. I'm also taking a cooler Just In Case because that seems like an intelligent thing to do ( Read more... )

Multiple times today I typed/wrote "McCall" (as in Scott) instead of "McCoy" (as in the pottery). eBay's search engine laughed at me ( Read more... )

I strongly feel that "man cave" is not a phrase that should have entered any sort of common usage, let alone unironically, and most especially not be appearing with alarming regularity in eBay vintage items listings. D has learned that he will never, ever win an argument in which it is used as a factor and anything put forth as a possible ( Read more... )

So I went to an auction today. I would say that it was of the epic variety, but, well, we've been to crazier. Still, it was large and busy and the end of the day involved me wincing both from the pain of loading a good portion of it and from the size of the check I wrote to cover it. Ouch. Like come home and do a paranoid double check of the ( Read more... )

THERE IS A LOCKWIKI. IT'S ALL ABOUT LOCKS. SCORE.
