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.

Shir, it was 35 here this morning when I woke up (maybe 1C?). Too bad we can't split the difference.

P-C, I hope your grandfather is getting better. It was too low sodium, right? That sounds like it should be easy to fix, but I'm guessing it's more complicated then it sounds.

brenda, I hope you were able to pry yourself out of the sitch without maiming either of them.

Leo the Cat is acting like he has an upset tummy. He barfed three times in the last few hours, and now is listless and doesn't want to eat. Should I worry?

Yeah, my sister said they were having trouble drawing blood yesterday because they couldn't find a good vein, and they don't know what's going on, and he's "beyond confused."

Oh, {{P-C}}. Hang in there. I'm sorry you and your family are going through this.
