The only thing to do at this point is go off the chaotic edge.

Well, crap. "Draft with Copilot" has suddenly shown up in Word at work. People. I am a professional writer/editor with 30+ years of experience. I did not ask for nor do I need Clippy's less helpful, more annoying descendant. (I've tried multiple ways to kill it. Nothing has worked so far.)

Yes, you should. I'm at about half and get nervous when I drop below that. 😆

I knew I should've filled up last night (and last weekend before that).

One was a house painter and bricklayer. The other was a mechanic, mostly on cars.

No one asked, but one grandmother worked in hospital administration, and the other was a legal secretary, writer, and photographer.

Good grief. I just got about a dozen spam calls in a row claiming to be from CashApp. No way to block because each number was slightly different. At least they finally stopped!

I'm with you on beets, and okra in most things. Otherwise... well, okay, more for me! 😆

I did the same thing, siiiiigh.

It was $2.89 at the cheapest station near me this weekend, and this morning it was $3.29.

As long as people spell it correction, I'm fine with y'all spreading. It's a great gender-neutral expression!

I rented some packing crates this time around and I think I'm going to like that a lot. No building and taping up cardboard! No trying to find somewhere to recycle them afterward! And a deadline to get the crates emptied so I can return them!

Ha! I would love to but probably won't have time for a few weeks. All my free time has to go into PACKING. *sigh*

Then congrats on finishing, whatever happens from here! :D

But the true question is: did you write the end, as in, the book is written (but needs revision)? Or are you writing ahead?

I mean, sounds like a winning combination to me...

The worst part is that most of those people voted for this kind of bullshit.

Oh my God. No possible thought that there are a lot of DME suppliers in south Florida because THERE ARE A LOT OF RETIREES IN SOUTH FLORIDA WHO NEED DME. ::facepalms::

The Finding Out part is ever thus. 😆

Okay, the Mickey head turned into a bunny butt is adorable.

The cold weather is back, and the heat in the office isn't working! (It's not that bad, just 68ish instead of 72ish.)

Packing and more packing. Also laundry. Oh! But I do have lunch with one of my BFFs tomorrow. 😀

You'll have to narrow that down.

We also both have that "my lasso, my rules" Wonder Woman shirt, too, I think. 😄
