Also, wind knocked a large branch on top of our roof, including power wires. Should I call power company?

Oh, Brenda. I hate being in that kind of situation.

DCJ, yes, call the power company. Now.

Cashmere, that is too cute!

Called Power company.

Oh god. Now the bf is coming to me for advice. I like him a lot, generally. But it's all "wow, isn't it crazy how hysterical she is? Is she going to chill out?" Jackhole.

Well, here's a day to note. I have *literally* both face palmed and headdesked (headbarred?) today. Not both related to the sister situation.

Oh good god, Brenda, that sucks. And awkward. Blah.

Annoying rueful situation of the evening: there's a girl who's been coming to dancing who is very cute. When she first started coming, she was clearly with this other girl, but lately it seems like perhaps she's single. Was talking with my friend tonight, about her, as cutie and I had danced (we have most weeks for the past several) and she told me while we were talking that she's an air traffic controller (...intriguing). And my friend and I were like "Hmm. Also, possibly single?"

The single part was confirmed later this evening...by the fact that we saw her meet someone, flirt, exchange numbers, and then start making out. Sigh. Guess I'm not her type....

Sorry, meara.

And {{Hil}}. I hope you're better now. It was a tough call, but from what you told lately, I think you have very solid base not to worry.

Now the bf is coming to me for advice

One of the worst mistakes I ever made was getting involved in a relationship between one of my best friends and a friend of mine. They loved each other, but constantly needed translation, which by knowing both deeply, I provided. That was my lesson that love isn't always enough, and that that guy was actually a narcissist jerk.

We're having a heatwave (after having 2 days of rain, 3 days ago). It's too hot for me to have french toast, I think, at least with tea.

This summer is ruining my food plans!

You know it's been a long week when you wake up at 11.30am. Oops. This is what happens when there isn't a Girl here to run into the bedroom and say "Do you want to hear something horrible I read?" (her usual morning greeting).

We're having a heatwave

I am really envious. Rain and cold-enough-to-turn-the-radiators-on here. We usually have a short heatwave in April or May. I'm waiting.

Hil, it sounds like you made a good decision.

meara, that sucks. Here's hoping it's just a brief thing, and that she notices you after!

My BBC news widget has stopped working. Even my computer is protesting the current political situation.

Now I envy you!

P-C, I meant to post healing~ma for your grandfather, not sure what happened to the post. But I have been vibing for you and him.
