Nun is tying up some disparate loose ends.
No, that’s not kinky, at least not sensu stricto.
Loose end #1: I've had a couple of people, including the illustrious Lady K, express doubts about the safety of Lucite, AKA poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA), as a material for sex toys. Sure, PMMA is in hard contact lenses, but Lady K points out that not all mucus membranes are created equal.
My dilator is definitely FDA-approved for sticking up my cooch on the daily. What's it made of? Polyurethane, I found out a few weeks ago. It's roughly a bent, rounded cylinder of hard, dense, shiny plastic that wouldn't be a complete loss as a weapon.
I recalled getting scared off by the safety instructions on the polyurethane casting materials that I found at an art supply store several months ago. But a few days ago I had a brain wave: polyurethane sealant, the kind that people use on wooden floors and furniture around the world. Would it stick to Clara? I decided to find out.
It does! I've applied one coat of water-based PU sealant to PMMA, let it dry, and used it. So far so good. I'm going to apply at least one other coat today. Safety issue solved, I think.
Loose end #2: I had another window-cleaning crew come to the Devil Girl House and see if they could get the paint off those upper windows that the other crew couldn't reach. Nope, they said. I guess that's that, unless I can find a crew that can rappel off the roof, which isn't even flat. No way in hell am I attempting it myself; those windows are about 30' (not quite 10m) off the ground.
Loose end #3: My black leather hat with the chin strap went missing during the move. Either that or I got rid of it in a moving frenzy, but I don't remember that. It isn't in any of the boxes I haven't unpacked. I've ordered a replacement that's more suitable for summer use anyway.
Loose end #4: Early this week I noticed suspicious credit card charges marked as pending. They posted, so I disputed them last night. The most annoying part of this is that the credit card number is now burned: no ordering on credit for a few days, and as soon as I have a new number I need to plug it into my ORCA and Good To Go passes – mass transit and highway tolls, respectively.
