Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Relatively peaceful day of packing for the cruise, except for the hour this morning when we couldn't find husband's wallet. We were sure it had to be in the house, except he apparently left it at Target. Someone, probably a cashier, turned it in, and it was completely intact, thank god. I had visions of trying to deal with that plus the cruise tomorrow.

But we are 90% packed, floppy hat included.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Where are you going?

So I just saw a really fun thing on tumblr, except when I got to the bottom, I saw it was by "andythanfiction," and even I know that person is bad news!!

Oh wow, Dana, that's good, because that would be a serious pain to deal with right before vacation!

Ooh, that sounds nice.

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

Woohoo, cruise! And even more woohoo wallet being found and intact!

Hello Natter!!

You know what's enjoyable? Finishing a book you didn't like and then reading reviews from other people who didn't like it either. (A Traitor to Memory by Elizabeth George, FWIW.)

I have fixed a kitchen window that wasn't closing properly, and fully cleaned the litterbox. And ordered more supplies, because I foolishly got myself into a dumb system that I actually really like.

I just saw the most horrifying thing ever—a nature program about the bite of the Lone Star tick making people allergic to meat. My commitment to never camping or hiking is looking pretty smart now!

This is why I don't go outside!
