Contemplating some consumerism

 Ah, Black Friday sales. I have opened tabs for several small gothy shops and designers, and I'm probably not going to buy anything at all, because one thing packing has pushed into my brain is that I don't actually NEED any new clothes for a while. Marvel at my restraint.

Not a Black Friday sale, but Bloodmilk did a limited edition release/rerelease of some gorgeous pieces, including my holy grail piece, a sterling silver crow claw holding a rose quartz orb. However, as our life involves paying for two mortgages right now, that wasn't possible. Anyway, I made myself safe from temptation by sleeping right through the launch time, and everything was sold out by the time I looked at the site.

The one Black Friday thing I probably will do is take advantage of Ancestry.com's sale on the DNA kits. I've been a holdout on those forever because I'm paranoid about the data security for them (look, the movie Gattica made an impression, okay?), but I've been reassured by people I trust that Ancestry actually has good privacy controls. I'm curious to see what comes back other than "Eastern European, mostly Slovenian". That's Dad's side of the family; Mom's is a complete mystery. 

We have a target move-in date! December 17th! Now let's see if we manage it.
