Well, we may not have parted on the best of terms. I realize certain words were exchanged. Also, certain... bullets. But that's air through the engine. It's past. We're business people.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I went to Pilates, brunch with the Dude, went to Lowes and bought a new birdbath, off to Floyd's to get my hair colored, came home and helped fold laundry and now Buffistas. If J. finishes his newest article, we're going to "Much Ado." If not, hanging out here.

I'm always boggled at all the errands people can run on Sundays in other areas. About the only things open in my area on Sunday are supermarkets, big box stores, and restaurants. Libraries and public pools are closed.

24-hour gyms are closed on Sunday around here, too.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Today I didn't do much. Woke up at 1:00 AM, took an ambien and went back to bed until 7:00 AM. Got up, got Grace and Noah ready. Ate breakfast. Ran errands. Then we went to the Dodgers game for Girl Scout Dodger Day. It was 100 degrees and a clusterfuck of stupidity wrt to parking and locating my troop. Then we left and I went to the toy store and bought water squirters. Then the kids played. I bathed them. Made salsa and now I'm trying to figure out how to make the side of my face, where I got jalapeno oil on it, stop stinging.

Good thing I washed my hands well before dealing with Grace's trache.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I went out for lunch and shopping, and I was home by 2:00. Which is good, because by 3:00 the sky had opened up, and a creek that is usually a mostly dry drainage ditch decided to channel the pre-dam Nile, covering the driveway between the parking lot and the road in rushing water, flooding the well named flood plain, and climbing the slope behind my apartment building until it was about two feet from my compost bin. Which is fine, except for the part where my bin is three feet from my bedroom wall.

The water went down again quickly. Still, it was exciting while it was happening.

On radar, it looks like central NC is getting whomped.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

ita !, I haven't, but my mother picked up two pieces from Goodwill that were done on dried gourds, and they are simply stunning. (One was actually carved into the gourd). Just lots of nonsense doodles and shapes, but so intricate that from a distance it looked like some Aztec mural.

Did not explode into flames during the photo shoot! Did not end up with heat stroke! Victory!

Of course, now I'm at home in nothing but my bloomers and bra, nomming chips and tomatillo salsa. That helps, too.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Yay!

If I wanted to find lightweight cotton bloomers or bloomer-ishs, where would I start looking? Summer decries that some days even the lightest yoga pants are not really inside pants.

Etsy, mostly. Ooh, or Recollections!
