It was a huge amount of fun, meara, but I am Wiped. Out.
Aren't they something. They're like butterflies, or little pieces of wrapping paper blowing around.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Okay, really hot turned into crazy thunderstorm, wind, and hail. Power was out for about half an hour. All quiet now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Wow, Anne, that sounds fun!
meara, yikes! That's a lot of money for not a lot over the limit, it sounds like to me.
Cooked out with the neighbors, which was really nice, but I ate too many chips. Unsurprisingly.

Spent all afternoon priming the ceiling. Man, sheetrock and plaster are thirsty. About to start on the second coat, with regular paint.
Swim was weird. And fucking slow, but nothing felt quite right, shocker. I cut it down to 1.5 miles rather than my usual two and kept stopping to stretch because things kept knotting up. It helped though. But definitely worst time in a very long time.
...aaaand I started to post this at 6:30, so 3 hrs ago. Just finished painting and cleanup.

My toenails hurt.

I can't make up my mind what I want to do vs what I should save my energy for, etc. things where I know I'd enjoy it, but it takes so much effort to get there..
After chilling most of the day with the kitten, and then running, met a friend for beer and food truck and board games. Now it's 845. I'm getting frozen custard. Do I go dance after this? Or save myself for tomorrow? If I go home I'll feel a little pathetic being home on a Saturday night but my foot hurts so maybe dancing isn't a good plan

Anne, that looks like a blast! I wish there was one nearby.
I ran a hella slow loop in the hills this morning, then made some pie crust (prep for Father's Day peach pie). Then went out for cheese and wine. Why am I so tired?
Also, I went to the dentist just a few weeks ago, but I think I need to go back, I'm having a suspicious soreness on the left side of my mouth when I bite down. Bleargh.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Ugh meara, why are camera tickets so much more money than regular tickets? That's what I've found anyway. I call bullshit.
Also bullshit? I got a ticket for an illegal left turn (I'm blaming bad signage as I truly and honestly didn't see it). I got the ticket in March. It came due in early May, but when I went to take care of it, it still hadn't been uploaded into the computer system. So I had to go to the courthouse to get paper documentation that I held up my end of the bargain. I've been checking the website every week since and it STILL ISN'T THERE. So annoying!

Had a great time with friends tonight doing the Night Nation Run. It's a cross between a 5k and a dance party. Run a little, walk a little, dance a little. It was awesome.

Today's con report...was SWAMPED for most of the day, so I didn't get to wander much. I did talk with Brent Spiner. I saw Ralph Macchio from afar. That man is older than me but, at least from a distance, he still looks damn young.
The John Barrowman event I went to after the con was fantastic. Both his husband and parents were there. His parents are a total kick. John's accent would flip back and forth depending on if he was talking to us or to his parents. This introverted lady actually asked him a question. I also mentioned that I had been selling his photo ops all day. He asked if I had gotten one. When I said no, I had worked all day, he invited me up and took a selfie with me (it was a no photo event). I thought I was a hot mess but the pic came out great. So glad I went. The man is crazy, intelligent, and such an advocate for so many things.
