19 Things, Post #31

1) I cannot tell you how crammed full of Stuff my calendar has been.
2) So, so much work.
3) Also, it's been unseasonably hot (hottest September on record, going right into October), until a brief blast of autumn yesterday. It was glorious--
4) And now a Tropical Storm has passed well to the north but brought heat and rain. Bleah.
5) In anticipation of autumn, I sent two boxes of nice but no longer flattering clothes to thredUP, the online resale shop.
6) Pretty good deals there. It reminds me of my time in graduate school, shopping at Buffalo Exchange (which I believe still exists). I did major job interviews in clothes I got at the resale shop.
7) Now, of course, resale also is an environmentally sound choice, even beyond the bargains. Reduce reuse recycle, as we used to say.
8) Today's good thing: my local grocery store is carrying Topo Chico 4-packs of sparkling water. YAY.
9) Also, I took a new exercise class this morning at the local Pilates studio. Good instructor, fun moves. We will pass over my clumsiness.
10) What else? I have been sucked into reading Hardy/Miller fic (Broadchurch) on AO3.
11) Look, I understand and support the reason Chibnall et al emphatically shut down Hardy/Miller as an option on screen, even making sure they didn't hug. Perfectly fine.
12) But post-season-3 getting-them-together or established-relationship fics ARE MY JAM. It's like, hmmm, she's complicated and sparky yet sad, he's brooding but decent at his core, they speak the same language of sarcasm and shouts. How could I not love them?
13) Also, not going to lie, the great David Tennant Renaissance of 2019 continues apace.
14) Although I can't watch Criminal on Netflix, for reasons.
15) Further, I am looking forward to Olivia Colman's turn on The Crown, and it pleases me mightily that she got the cover stories on Vogue US last month and Harper's Bazaar UK this month.
16) In other news -- Master Danger is slowing down rapidly, which is depressing. He has his senior-dog checkup Thursday, and I dread to think what his vet will say.
17) In other other news -- am I looking forward to Betrayal on Broadway next month? OMG.
18) And then London in December, wheee.
19) Hugs to all, and may you have lists of goodness.

Hugs for you, good vibes for Master Danger. May he have many more good years ahead.

Hardy/Miller fic? I must check this out.

Ooh, thanks for the link! And I was going to check on you and the storm when I came up for air and realized it was in your neck of the woods again, so it was good to get reassurance.

Now that we’re home and our electricity is back on (thank you PG&E?) we have a full septic tank and backed up drains until they can come tomorrow and clean out the septic. Life is too exciting...

Hugs and sympathy for Master Danger’s issues.

Poor Master Danger. I can’t believe he’s a senior dog now. Hope the checkup goes well.

I wish you hadn’t mentioned Hardy/Miller. That sounds quite intriguing :)
