Disadvent 1

[psocoptera]

It's the first day of Disadvent! I wasn't even entirely sure I was doing it again this year and then a couple of months ago J said something about looking forward to Disadvent so I guess this is a beloved tradition now. :) Tonight happened to be trash night and we have put out for the trash our backyard basketball hoop - we got a lot of enjoyment out of this thing over the years, thank you again Auntie C, but it had accumulated damage and become tippy and sometimes subject to height-adjustment collapse, and the kids are of a bigness where if they want to play horse or something, they might rather walk down to the elementary school and use the court there than play with a kiddie hoop on our little patio, and most of the times I've touched it in the past year+ have been to make sure it hasn't caught rainwater that could breed mosquitos. So, farewell, ave atque vale and all that.

It's great that J is looking forward to removing unwanted items! I shredded a bunch of papers, does that count?

That definitely counts! Happy disadvent!

I should clarify that by J I meant big J, perhaps less exciting than if little J was into it... (Maybe I need more distinct names for them... I would say "JB" and "JH" but who would know their middle names? "Jo" and "Ju" feels weird because Jo is also a family person? Hmm.)

I know their middle names. Also, people would figure it out from context if you used the same symbols consistently.

Happy Disadvent!

Yay Disadvent!

The following isn’t quite the same thing as Disadvent, but I’m pleased by the coincidental timing: I posted a link to my giveaway list on a mailing list today, and people collectively requested nearly a hundred items from it. V. pleasing.

…On a semi-related side note, I’ve had occasion to link multiple people to the taxonomy of things in the past couple weeks. Maybe I should relabel my giveaway list as a list of Prediscardia Residua. :)
