I won’t be giving out candy this year: I’ll be on the couch watching TV, with the porch light and all of the street-facing lights off. Sometimes that doesn’t deter the candy-seekers, so I’ll be extra glad to have a lockable storm door. I’ll probably watch my copies of The Great Pumpkin, Practical Magic, and Hocus Pocus.
Lunch with my friend/former co-worker yesterday was great. We sat and gabbed for 3 hours (the place was empty so the staff didn’t care), and could have talked for longer but she had to go meet her daughter. I ordered a 14" pizza so I could have leftovers: it’s a place we’ve gone to countless times in the past 23 years, but somehow I’d never gotten pizza there before! It was alright – I have a low bar for pizza, and am about to have a couple slices for lunch – but I won’t get it again.
Afterwards I was feeling deprived, because of my favorite bakery not being open and not being able to get their excellent scones, so on the way home I went to Trader Joe’s for the first time in several months and bought a package of their vanilla bean scones (and many some other treats 
). Just past the register there was a display of reusable TJ’s shopping bags, and when I saw what was on one of them I actually did a double-take and had to take a picture for JtC!
I’m sure several of my fellow shoppers were wondering why the hell I was stopped in the walkway, giggling and photographing a shopping bag. 
In other news, my new storm door will be getting installed on Wednesday afternoon! Woo hoo! I thought for sure I wouldn’t hear from the installer until the end of the week and then would have to wait 1-2 weeks to get on their schedule, but they called this morning!
At 7pm I’ll be watching a virtual interview with one of my favorite contemporary authors, Louise Penny. Book #19 in the Armand Gamache series is being released tomorrow, and Barnes & Noble is sponsoring a live Zoom interview with her this evening. I bought my ticket two weeks ago, and am looking forward to it. It’s scheduled for 1 hour, so it will end just before the first pitch of Game 3 of the World Series. 
Catching up on the end of last week’s thread before jumping into this week’s…
Meh! Sorry to hear that.
There is: it includes both a TARDIS and part of the console room. But it’s a retired set – which is why that link goes to Amazon and not the Lego site – and is therefore $$$.
Yay! 
Thanks, but I’d never be able to install anything like that on either laptop. 
However, a couple years ago I bought a Logitech keyboard and mouse that connect to up to 3 devices via Bluetooth. The only downside is that they have to be switched separately: sometimes I’ll switch the mouse but forget to switch the keyboard and wind up accidentally typing in – or, more often, deleting something in – the wrong place, but on the whole it’s a great combo and tons better than having separate keyboards/mice. I mostly work from home, but I take them with me whenever I go into the office.
Welcome back!
I know absolutely nothing about this stuff, but I’ve always heard that the air in AZ is very dry: could WV’s relatively (and possibly only slightly) higher humidity possibly be a factor in 70 feeling warmer there?
Sounds like a plan.
Whew!!
