fall already?

The leaves are starting to change... must be fall...

why cleaning (or the lack thereof) is scary

I just killed the above spider. Yes, it really was as big as the outlet cover on the wall beside it. EEEEWWWWWWWWWW! I really should clean more often...

I got a new couch at the Really, Really Free Market in Oly today! The nice people who ran it even delivered it for me! (They were going to store it overnight then take it to the next one tomorrow at Lion's Park, so it was a win for all.)

What's a RRFM? you ask? It's like a community garage sale held in a park, with the rule that everything is free. Nice, eh? I heart Oly.

yippee!

Have foot, will travel! Got the boot off yesterday! The new bionic foot works well, just a little achy after its first day of use, but healing well...
