I am so sorry, Juliebird. I wish you and your parents all possible peace. And your anger is appropriate and necessary. Vibes to all of you as you get through the immediate aftermath and all the tasks that need doing.
Well, look at you. All dressed up in big sister's clothes.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Made up some ham/cheese/pasta salad, with added olives. Initial taste test is good, it's in the fridge becoming one with itself. I think I'm going to add a touch of mustard with the next batch for a touch more flavor. I cooked too much pasta for the bowl I'd mixed everything else in, so I had to scrounge up another bowl for a cheese and pasta variant.
In addition, the kitchen now works the way I need it to, with the tools I want to use and almost the room I want to work with. I was even able to wash up what dishes were there while I waited for the pasta to cook.

Well, that was the first time I had that rando conversation at the pool! 20 somethingish guy hanging in the pool with his friends remarked that I really swam a long time. (I get that all the time.) Then he asked if I had a fish tattoo. To my negative, he got kinda excited. You need one of those flying fish, the kind that look like birds! Or a Pisces! Oh and he's a tattoo artist! He calls over some of his friends to display his art. Gotta say, it was some beautiful work. Told me where to find the shop he works out of, with Baltimorese directions (and I actually would be able to find it.)
One helluva pitchman, and he certainly read me well, except for the fact I don't plan on ever getting a tattoo.
Quite a few other folks got the treatment, and if he left the pool without new customers tonight, I'd be shocked.
I love this city.

Wedding overall nicer than expected. 14 groomsmen (one a woman) and 8 bridesmaids. Holy cow. Only one of their dresses had see through cutouts at the midriff. Disappointing! But pale pink/sea foam green is the order of the day. And Maybelline stock hella went up today.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Holy cow.

Also, only two toasts so far involved stories of bail, or the lack thereof.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I'm sorry, Juliebird. So very sorry.
