Hey, the temperature on the patio is down to 90, woohoo!
I will celebrate by...making stew? Yeah, apparently that's what I'm doing.
I'm going to see to Wesley, see if he's still whimpering.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Eight o'clock on a Sunday evening, there are boats out on the lake. It's rather a pleasant view, as the shadows of the mountains start to creep across the valley.

Our wings are not tired.
Bad Connie, not sharing the pictures. It does sound very pretty.
After striking out at Costco, Target, and Walmart in looking for a canning pot (could not find mine in storage), I remembered K-Mart and was successful! AND when checking out the nice dude ask if I had a rewards card and I said I thought I did because there used to be a K-Mart right near my office, and so he checked. There was $10 in rewards just sitting there waiting for me. Woot!
That is FOUR times today that I have had a pleasant shopping experience. That is four times more than a usual year for me. This could be a sign of some sort.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Daniel, I'm so sorry about your aunt.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I'm so sorry, Daniel. Peace upon her spirit, and to you and everyone who loved her (which, from glancing over at Facebook, looks like many people, very deeply).

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I'm so sorry, Daniel.
It's been a hard few weeks for folks around here.

Laura, yay good shopping experiences!
Well, I had a long and kinda meh Pride...until the very end. The VERY end. So, went out Friday, hung out with friends. Went out Saturday, hung out with friends. Went to the parade today, hung out with friends. Wanted to go out tonight, finally found a friend who was going, hung out with her. Saw a cute girl, found a friend who knew her, found out she had a girlfriend. Saw a cute girl working there, saw her hit on someone else. It got to be like, 11PM and my friends and I were like "screw it, it's late, we gotta go". And as we're leaving and a couple of them go to say goodbye to people, my friend was talking with a friend of hers who we'd talked with a bit earlier, who was with another person. The other person looks at me and says "OK, where do I know you from?" and I looked at her and went "....OKCupid?" Yeah. We had emailed a couple times and managed to kind of mutually flake on getting together. And then ended up standing around talking and flirting for an hour before finally leaving. Even if nothing happens (though I hope something happens--she was all "definitely hit me up again" and so I just sent her a message when I got home), it was an excellent end to the weekend. :)

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I'm so very sorry Daniel. (As you can imagine, 'aunts' hold a special place in my heart.)

I'm so sorry, Daniel.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm sorry, Daniel.
My email is down and there's a message I'm really regretting not sending at the end of the day on Friday! I thought I could do it first thing this morning!!
