Eumh…where did November go? Started this month with the best news of the this year: my hcg level hit 0, followed by the absolute worst news of the year: the loss of our sweet nephew, and then we quickly had to figure out how to get to Cleveland for funeral and still be able to go on vacation, and now it’s Thanksgiving on Thursday and already December and first of Advent next week. This month disappeared so quickly I barely blinked. Actually, this whole year disappeared in what feels like one afternoon nap. 

On Friday, when I was in the middle of editing photos/videos, I accidentally spilled an entire cup of coffee all over my desk, computer, railing, wall and carpet. As quickly as I could I ran into storage room to grab a tissue box and threw tissue papers on everything wet, saved what I was in the middle of, turned the computer off and unplugged everything. Luckily there was no coffee spilled on the electric socket or the actual computer under the desk, but the surge protector and all the cords were drenched and so was everything on top of the desk. I ran to kitchen to get actual paper towels and wet wipes and cleaned everything up, turned the surge protector upside down on top of paper to dry it out and scrubbed and scrubbed to get the coffee stains to a minimal. But damn, coffee stains are ugly and hard to get rid of. Once we move out they can paint over my mess, but unfortunately we are not moving anytime soon so I have to just look at my huge clumsiness. Oh well. I have tried to google how safe it is to use the power strip after you get liquid in it, but even if some sites says it might be fine, I really don’t want to risk it. So we have to go buy a new one later today. Better safe than sorry…or dead. 

Using my laptop for now, Thor is sleeping next to me on top of the kitchen counter in his little bed, so cute. He’s extra snuggly these days and wants to be close to us. He was at a new sitter when we were gone. They have a puppy and what seemed like a two year old boy, I’m curious how that went but he seems fine. They even told us the two dogs had been napping together, aww, how cute.
