Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yikes, sara!

All I want to eat right now is corn, tomatoes, and blueberries. I enjoy summer produce, at least.

Less enjoyable is the fact that it is cool and rainy outside, but still hot hot hot in my apartment. I'm opening all possible windows, but really wish I could leave the back door open. I'm concerned about the cat-proof-ness of the porch back there, so.

Our wings are not tired.

Oh sarameg, how awful and scary for them. Best wishes for them going forward.

Neat, aurelia! Jealous!

Sorry the edibles were disappointing, meara. I haven't had edibles since sometime in the 70s. Only the medical variety is allowed now in Florida, but my neurologist is perfectly okay with me self medicating so I didn't request a prescription.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

That's awful, Sarameg.

I just happened to be the only one in that tour time- slot. And the only one on the bus going up to the house. The bus driver told me I was getting a $750 tour for my $25 ticket. We ran into two other tour groups of 2 each, so I guess it was just a slow time. I did the Upstairs Rooms tour and the guide kept saying "since it's just us... and taking me further into the rooms than normally allowed. She also showed me a couple of the rooms from the downstairs tour. It was very cool.

Now I'm at Ragged Point looking at the combo of fog and smoke and wondering if my plans for today are going to be thwarted by the fire north of Big Sur.

That's very cool, aurelia! The tour, not the fire.

Just lost my cat briefly -- she went upstairs! Oops. I opened my door to the front porch without checking that my mother's was closed. I'm just not going to mention it to her...

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

That's awesome, aurelia. Well, not the fire.

Also awesome: I have a Malarkey shirt on its way to me! I think I'm gonna get a lot of use out of that.

since it's just us...

That is great. You know that the tour guides are going to know a lot more than they always get an opportunity to talk about.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Am listening to a group called "The Faithful Sidekicks". They are singing a song written in SQL .(or a similar programming language)

That's a pretty cool tour, aurelia!

Well, I slept for 12 hours. (I mean, I woke up at like 7am and used the bathroom, and where I'd normally fall back asleep for an hour or two, I just woke up ten minutes ago.) ...since getting enough sleep is not normally a problem for me, thumbs down on the edible. Boo!

Well, meara, at least it was a relatively cheap experiment.

I have to start back at work this week. WAH. Do not want.
