I was killed seven times, but it did me no ill

Happy equinox! It has been a year for losing track of time, but it's not just springlike now, it's spring. Please enjoy this photo taken yesterday by choco_frosh on our unplanned adventures: I'd had no idea there even was a Boston Paper Board Corporation, but it delights me that there is. Autolycus has eaten two meals and a snack since last night and is basking in the sun on the back of the couch as we speak.

This is why my grandmother always used to say "Well, you're not working at the box factory!" I am delighted.

I am also, unrelatedly, going to hurl. I am terrible at being an adult and I don't know why I ever persisted at trying it. I ought to have punched my ferry ticket at 23 like was planned.

Preliminary research suggests it dates back to 1907. The fluorescent lights we could see through the un-A/C'd windows are presumably of more recent vintage.

Come on, you could have died last year if you wanted to get out of paying a mortgage, but it would so have pissed you off.

None of the death packages on offer last year seemed particularly appealing. ECMO is freaky and I will never be vented outside surgery again. *nosewrinkles*

I am rehydrating my little exhausted nerves. It's a lot of money -- a lot of money, Poldek.

It is, but if it pays off, it's a house for less than your apartment and no polka neighbors.
