So far today, I have overslept just enough that getting to work on time meant leaving the house without coffee, and found out the answer to the question "how many people actually use the silly little patent getting software most of the librarians ignore" (it broke, and it turns out the answer is a lot).

Which is to say YAY FRIDAY. Please hurry up and finish

What are people doing this weekend?

I have no defecation opinions other than it's fine. There are times out here where I don't use the restroom facilities at all because I know the hosts have issues with lack of water. And there were times when I had lack of water myself and used everyone's facilities all the time. So.

Wind just knocked out power here for a few minutes. Without the SO here it made me scurry around for a little bit, making sure everything that was plugged into a UPS shut down properly, but other than that, I don't suppose there's much I can do in preparation.

I kinda need to figure out when to leave for graduation. I need to get a gift, and then there will be parking issues probably, but since I'm going alone, I don't really care to sit in the sweltering gym forever before it starts.

I know people who think it's wrong to poop anywhere but in your own home.

And this is where I share that one my simple life lessons is Whenever you have the chance, do the stinky stuff outside of your home as long as it will not cause embarrassment.

What are people doing this weekend?

I am going to a cottage with 9 other people, lots of booze and food.

This weekend is the fundraising carnival at my kids' school, hour-long classes at the zoo (scheduled because it was the only chance for Casper to do manatees), dress rehearsal and two dance recitals, and somehow I am supposed to make my shortish-haired daughter's hair into a nice bun, and the visit of my SIL, nephew and niece and very angrily STBX-BIL for niece's soccer tournament, some members of which party will be staying with us (who, and where they will sleep, TBD, although this may be occurring today.)

This is not my kind of weekend. I am not sure how I will cope.

This weekend is graduations. The SO has one and I have one. Oh, and then annular eclipse!

This weekend is (home) fencing tournament that's kind of making me say "oh thank fuck the season is almost over". Would srsly srsly like to have a weekend where I'm not going anywhere or administering anything.

This weekend is Preakness and returning my two dysfunctional Kindle Fires.

I just have the eclipse. That's enough, I think.

If I can get to sleep tonight, I'll be doing some voter registration tomorrow. Otherwise, it's a weekend of gardening and goofing off. I may get some new running shoes and try to get back into that. My ankle hasn't hurt for over a week now. I'm hoping it's a sign that I can start jogging again.
