Burrell and flea, have either of you read any of the enormous Metafilter thread about emotional labor? There's a lot of insight there on how people are figuring out how to identify, value, and equitably share out the sort of work that mothers specifically (and women generally) are expected to do in American families.

It's a ridiculously long thread, but there's a lot of really valuable meat in it, I think.

Today's 5k started later (9:30) and had less shade so was way hotter. But we finished. Took Walter to a Pet Food Express to try out a free sample of their self-service pet wash -pretty nice! I took a tepid shower after we got home and now I think I am done for the weekend. I seriously might just go to bed and sleep until tomorrow.

2 5Ks under your belt? I think you're entitled.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Yeah, plus, don't you get up really early for work?

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I love the EL thread. I love the EL thread so much,

The EL thread is pretty amazing.

-t, you're a braver woman than I am--no way would I have started a run at 9:30 today! It was plenty hot at 8.

I nearly talked myself into going to the hamburger place up the street for dinner, so I could get a milkshake, but my sister's tomato plants are going crazy. So instead I'm making a panzanella salad of sorts, and I'll crack a beer in a little while. Or maybe open the white that's in the fridge...

I walked today, but still. I'm certainly not going to try very hard to stay awake.

Oh, my, beer sounds delicious. I do not have any. Getting some would take far too much effort.

I went for the white wine instead, but I cut it with sparkling water, since I have to write.

Mm, that also sounds delish.

Woo hoo! Victorian Farm is back on YouTube! Maybe the BBC finally saw the illogic of yanking it off when there was no Region 1 DVD available for us here in the colonies to buy.
