I am, quite frankly, stunned. It's 81 degrees, but it feels absolutely gorgeous out.
The breeze is so lovely, Cagney insisted we stay outside. I dragged a chair out and sat with him while he howdied with the passersby...of which there were quite a few.
Very, very unusual weather for the end of August.
In other news, the petcare manager got a text from a woman I absolutely loathe today saying that she heard I'd been bitten by a dog and that I ordered it put down.
She has reason to cause me trouble as she is the walker who lied and stole clients from the company. I was the one who compelled the suit against her...which she lost.
I'm just boggled how she even heard about it.
I wrote to her on facebook, stating the facts, but have not heard from her.
As if I didn't have enough to deal with.
Yikes, ND. No heat exhaustion ~ma. Yes, hydrate.
So, I spent the day helping birth a baby. Poor SIL. After more than 24 hours she just couldn't deal with the thought of another contraction and got the epidural, and then about 5 minutes later it was push time. Then I watched my wee nephew Negasi enter the world. Besides the 5 family and friends people there I had my other SIL on speaker phone so she could hear us all yelling PUSH. It really is an amazing process, but painful, damn, watching her brought back that memory. Ouchie for reals.
The nurse asked her about the nursing and if she wanted to wait until the crowd cleared. Nope, there had to be a dozen of us tearing up watching baby boy enjoying his first meal. Although SIL and I aren't related by blood we share the whole lack of modesty thing. It was awesome that she was able to have so much support surrounding her.
I am exhausted! I was there for the last 10 hours. Watching your loved one is pain is tough stuff.
How beautiful and exhausting, Laura.
Blessings on Negasi's head.
Welcome to the world, Negasi! Congratulations on the new nephew, Laura!
Bonnie, you might mention that if you hear she is spreading this false rumor, you will consult with an attorney with expertise in the law of libel and slander and take whatever action she advises. (Note that this phrasing is not the same as saying you will sue - just a warning that your good name is of value to you and that you will defend it.)
Blessings on the new baby!!
I am cranky. Joe ate my leftovers from last night, thinking they were his. His leftovers were three bites left of his hoagie. Mine was a 6" hoagie and curly fries. I yelled probably more than was necessary, but he does this shit to me all. the. time. So now I'm not eating dinner to make him feel guilty which is *totally* cutting off my nose yadda yadda yadda, but there was another SNAFU with school and it was hot and we have a wedding to go to tomorrow and I had to get that stuff ready and I wanted my hoagie and fries and now I have nothing and there is no food in the house save cheese popcorn and Laffy Taffy and I'm pissed off, hungry, and have a headache because I'm being a brat and not eating.
Hurrah, Negasi! May you hold your head up surrounded always by love. May you love learning, knowledge and wisdom. May you live to see the hunger of those who most crave justice and mercy satisfied.
Aims, I'm sorry you are having a rough time today.
