Annual bird production commencing. First one: two days. Second: two movies today.
Trying different things for the body volume: I have limited roving on hand, and the only places in Sudbury that sell wool roving is small quantities for high cost. Plus potentially wears out my body less

I want midnight old cheddar, but the cheddar I want us 6 hours away in my freezer at home.
Ooh, maybe there are process cheese slices (not same at all, but novelty cheese because I haven't had any recently)

Safely translocated and arrived, and skeined 220m of yarn I spun some point in last three years.
I know it is either Forest Green Heather or Jade Green Heather, and I know the roving was from Custom Mills out of Alberta, Canada, because I have spun multiple batts of it over the years

Got car dropped off, with the new bumper and support parts.
Sitting in back of my parents' space ship (like being a kid again, instead of bit over 40), translocating 5 hours.
Hands-free driving is Weird*
But backseat seat heater is amazing on my lower back.

Dad to me: "don't pack too much stuff"
Me, realizing that my meds take up a small (bigger than a shoe box) plastic tote, when I take them out of the shelf they normally live on 🤦😭
Not in photo: my pencil case with injection supplies, my fibre supplements, and l-citrulline and taurine powders

Trying to get last of stuff together for going up to Sudbury tomorrow.
Roommate decides to try to get me to trouble shoot the IP cameras.
Which they don't know the password they set.
And keep sending messages, after I was "hey, I've got other stuff I need to get done"
(Roommate is in Japan)

It arrived yesterday during nap (was too wiped after doctor and getting prescription to post).
Now the "can it get installed before I go to Sudbury?"
Very wiped today, either new med, or just chaos of roommate very much avoiding packing for their flight to Japan Sunday morning. So many side quests

Was getting ready to go out door for doctor appointment, smell awful smell.
Would have sworn there was plastic utensil melting on stove burner.
Nope. Roommate "I saw this thing on the net, so i'm boiling pants to get the elastic to not be so tight"
They didn't have exhaust fan on.

Some days, laptop will stay up for 11 hour video connection with west coast partner.
Today, was up for maybe ½ hour and keeps erroring after login. Then this new and exciting error.
Crashed with parents last night and they're like "well, it happens 🤷" and then talked about their next cruise

It's so pretty though, the snow.
The roads got noticeably worse around 15:30-16:00. Especially if I slowed down or stopped, then tried to get moving again.
Front bumper is last legs, from wheel well snow getting up in it (or roommate might have pulled into snowbank again - new one is in Etobicoke)

So, that package? The one I thought was surely the bumper, at 36lb?
It is only the lower grille insert for the bumper.
And that box didn't weigh 36lb, as I could pick it up with one hand. It's marked 36lb
It did arrive today, after the last week of "out for delivery in (city)" tracking updates.

Will it show up tonight? Will it show up just as I log in for study group on West coast and roommate come interrupt?

Fountain pen ink from Ferris Wheel, ordered Dec 3, arrived via UniUni today.

Meanwhile, Canpar has had car parts here, out for delivery Dec 1, 2, 3, and two out for delivery yesterday, with no sign of it. Picked up in London Nov 27

Refreshing package tracking, hoping it will get here faster.
Had two different out for delivery updates today for the bumper via Canpar, but no knocks on door.
And a new contender entered the ring, of fountain pen ink. It's going to warehouse for local delivery -- in Mississauga. (~5 hours away)

"I'm going to make granola!"
907g of dry ingredients later, I may have tranced out a bit too much to music
Did realize we don't have enough dried cranberries, have summoned roommate to fetch before Costco closes
Have I made granola before? No.
Do I want to shove even more stuff in? Yes.

The spare felting needles are somewhere.
The where is the question.
Where did I put them when I last used them, after returning from San Diego?
The only upside of being not well much of this year means sedimentary layers / only certain things got moved.
Hoping to lay hands on them today.

Sitting on bed, watching neighbors edge each other
...their cars edging past each other.
Hill is slippery from snow, pickup truck pulled over, a tow truck in front, and then a delivery van pulled up to curb opposite on downhill slope. And then other vehicles slowly trying to get through the gap

Today silly joy: seeing the random stuff Cards Against Humanity has pulled together for Black Friday.
The puzzles are hard, and you're not necessarily going to get to buy the thing. I couldn't pick out which images were from Return of the Jedi in time 😭

First package arrived!
No knock, no noise on doorstop.
..it's only one of the support pieces.
No updates yet on the actual bumper, hasn't had tracking updated since it hit the Canpar hub in Etobicoke last night at 23:16 (shipped from London, Ontario)

Beings.
I just... Got another email notification with another tracking number. 🤦
Realized the one I've been stressed about is 8lb, and is just the support for the bumper, bottom grille, cutout thing.
The new tracking is 36lb and the actual bumper.
My body can't deal with more days of this.

It updated this morning again to say out for delivery / arrival by end of day.
It hasn't.
My nervous system is overwhelmed from listening for the door, and neighbors who moved out seem to be in doing minor renovations. (Patching drywall is my guess from the sounds through townhouse wall)
