Yesterday was for fun and socializing, so I've tried to make today productive. So far I've grocery shopped, vacuumed, cleaned the tub, done about half my laundry, and cut up some apples for sauce ( need to cut up more, but I'm giving my wrist a break while walking the cat). It's a windy, cool, damp day here, which I often find pretty energizing.

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

I went to the farmer's market this morning, so I've been jamming strawberries in my face. So good! I also got flowers and empanadas and probably too many vegetables since I'm going to Canada in a week. It's also a lovely, sunny day so I'm hanging out in the park with a library book.

I hope that is a nice break for you. We had a mini buffista gathering at our place yesterday, and it was nice to have ltc passed from one doting person to another.

I went to see The Martian with some friends, and then took a long walk with another friend. Now I'm tired, but in a bit I need to go dance. Gotta break in my new shoes before the convention in two weeks! But I don't think I'll stay long.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
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!
Matt, I assume you have seen this? It sums up my thoughts about camping very nicely.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I swear, I need a plan for Sundays or I'll just imitate a log.
Are you kidding? One of my goals in life is to be able to spend an entire day doing absolutely nothing without a) guilt, b) shame, c) illness, d) someone else giving me crap about it. You're already there! Why it's downright aspirational!

I'm feeling guilt and shame, because. So I'm not there yet. My clutter mocks me and now I have to go out tomorrow night to run the errands I skipped today.
I'm also being that crazy neighbor lady, asking everyone I know if they can do or know people who can do transport for my neighbors' kids. Asking can't hurt, who knows, maybe it turns up another family who goes to the school who could swing by here. I also think I might just now have convinced the mom to ask on the neighborhood board by suggesting a way she could do so without putting it all out there.
I have no shame in asking for others, especially when I know it is hard for them (hell, it's impossible for me.)

Oh shit. I have gone all Mad Scientist on my popcorn with flavors and have accidentally turned it into a pure form of Crack.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
