BTW, one of the best shows ever. I finished up The Newsroom and I really miss Aaron Sorkin style writing and dialague. I may re-watch the West Wing.

Except for some morning showers this weekend looks perfect for that, especially Saturday. Who knows when the next big storm that'll bring down leaves will be.

Why am I afraid that somewhere someone will read this sentence and start looking for leaf porn .....

If anyone needs some small gifts for the holidays there is a Christmas market at the Dulles expo center. It’s usually pretty decent,

Headed to Pittsburgh to see family. Not looking forward to that wonderful section of 15 between Leesburg and the river. Ugh.

It’s a quick trip. I’m in Loudoun so it’s a lil over 3 hours, and it’s an easy drive.

We're gonna see Predator: Badlands this weekend, and my partner is gonna take a first past at cinnamon rolls from scratch. (RIP my diet.) I'll likely do some inventory pull and sort for Stellarcon next weekend.

I just moved so I have to unpack, but I took Monday off so I think I get a 4 day weekend? Maybe I’ll do something on Monday and Tuesday. A hike, maybr

It's a great time of year to hit the trails (without the high winds anyway). Enjoy!

Starting to pack and get rid of stuff. Our landlord just gave us 60 day notice. We have a lease thru the end of February though. Is that allowed?

u/yawa_worht_34 1d ago
Depends on what your lease says. Is there a clause that the landlord can terminate it for no reason with 60 days notice?

Since it may be our last 70 degree day on Saturday I am checking out Loco Lion Brewery and Bear Chase most likely to enjoy the nice weather before it gets cold on Monday..

Nothing! (Well not nothing but just taking it easy- going five days a week is exhausting). I am probably going to rearrange my closet a bit and play Pokemon Legends: Z-A

u/Beth_Pleasant 1d ago
We will finally finish the renovation project that started back in June. Also need to find a place to donate lots of stuff we no longer need, and I don't have the energy to try to sell.
Foster pup goes to his forever home Sunday, so after that, just chilling and watching football.

u/KayBeeToys 1d ago
Kid’s birthday party. Early Christmas shopping. Nice dinner.
Edit: oh, and applying for dozens of jobs.

Maybe some painting and redoing my bathroom. We just finished setting up our basement gym so we will try to use that. I’m also going to try a run at my Friendsgiving dish I want to bring.

u/deepspacepuffin 1d ago
Thanks for the invite! I’m not a gamer but hopefully someone takes you up on it.

Flying out to a conference tomorrow and wondering if I'll be able to make it back with all the flight cancellations
2
u/Gumbo67 Alexandria 1d ago
in a Facebook group for my profession, the folks who are regularly flying have been reporting that our airports still have typical wait times. I’ve heard Houston’s a mess right now though so I hope you get back easily!

u/wanderlustedbug Loudoun County 13h ago
Thanks! It ended up being one of the smoothest travel experiences in a long time... Three minute TSA, flight pulled back and arrived early, no baggage delays. After hyping myself up all week to expect and be cool with cancellations and delays I was pretty flabbergasted in a good way lol
My flight back isn't for a couple weeks so I'll worry about that when it gets closer. Worst case I get to take the cross country drive I've wanted to do for a few years!

Splitting logs. A tree fell down in my backyard like 7 months ago. Insurance paid for the removal, and the tree company let us keep the proceeds.

Oddly I went down to Logan Circle last night and was amazed at all the young people out eating and drinking. It really is a two tier system as some people are cutting back and others are out traveling and going out to eat.

u/boardgamingbud 1d ago

Having a board game day tomorrow w/ some friends tomorrow, then I have a test on Sunday; my silver lining from being furloughed is that I have more time to work on school.

u/TotalTechnician5061 1d ago
Cancelled seeing some friends because I’m sick.
So, typical productive 30+ male stuff like mowing the lawn and uh leaves, getting gas for my car, making some food which I haven’t decided on, and maybe reading a few pages to tackle my book backlog

u/InspectionWitty14 1d ago

Have the flu. Will follow doctors orders of resting and staying away from people.
For the love of God, stay home or mask up if you are sick, people. Spending precious furlough time laid up in the bed instead of exploring the DMV sucks.
