My sister's garage sale went well, but it was hot as Hades and I'm a bit sunburned now. I made about $130 dollars and found an old scrapbook of mine from when I was a kid, so it was a good day for me.
Natter 74: Ready or Not
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I'm tired. I walked about 8 miles, got groceries, went to Target for pans, did laundry, and made pork fried rice. The pork fried rice turned out pretty good! Now I'm having a gin and tonic and watching Netflix.
I think I might deliberately sleep downstairs tonight, it's about 10 degrees cooler. And I may break and put in the window unit tomorrow, I dunno. Lows in the sixties after tonight, I could hold out.
I finally turned on the account yesterday. Too many 90+ days in a row.
Went out for dinner & cocktails with a friend. Had a great cocktail (mezcal &... stuff) and some absolutely killer brussel sprouts with "herbed yogurt" and brown butter. So good.
And now I have mixed up some no-knead bread for family dinner tomorrow night, which I hope to include watching the Tonys. Wanna see some Hamilton!
The sky watching yesterday went well. There were probably 60-70 people there, from toddlers to senior citizens. There were a number of cannon-sized telescopes, which everyone got to look through. I saw Jupiter, its stripes, and four of its moons. Very nifty. I also got to see Mars and, my favorite, Saturn.
Fun! Did you see any meteors or satellites?
I'm just sick about Orlando. I wish I could do something.
That sounds great, Calli. I love those events.
Orlando: I haven't looked for details, yet. The shadowy outlines I couldn't help but pick up are bad enough, for now. If there's some useful channel for my anger and sadness, well, it's here, ready to go.

I didn't hear about it because I slept late, but then my brother texted me to complain about how the news was covering it. So that was an awful way to wake up.
