November's #Book Recommendation [blog post] https://buff.ly/2AVn50p

49 minutes in line, 12 min for poll workers to validate my name/address, 2 min to vote. All because "there are problems with the power" so only half the voting machines were working and none of the workers had internet connection.
Worth doing anyway #Georgia #Vote

I'd resisted the larger phone for a while, but these old eyes are needing the bigger screen (though so far I still can avoid increasing all the font sizes).

upgraded from iPhone 6S to 8Plus the other day. It, plus a case, feels like I'm carrying a brick (size, not weight).

just now: "Alexa, play music by @PaulMcCartney."

I often recommend books, but have never said this before: Get this book NOW - reserve it at your library, buy it at a local bookseller, or use the link below - then read it this weekend. How to Stop Time by @matthaig1 is excellent and you need to read it. https://buff.ly/2Oemj6p

In The Gloom of the early morning... https://f3louisville.com/2018/01/22/who-the-hell-works-out-at-530am-rain-or-shine/

Saturday's diy renovation work: replaced 13 light switches & outlets (one of which was glued in, rather than using proper screws!), a couple a/c vents, hung a new kitchen light, re-installed window blinds, ironed and re-hung curtains, cleaned & put a new rug in the powder room. Just another exhausting day for us.

And on Sunday we rested.

some of last night's work:
Floor. Previous water damage.
Made hole in floor.
Cut wood.
Installed wood.
Now no longer a hole in floor.
Two of these done, finished a little after midnight.
