Found out a couple friends are in Puerto Vallarta (with a bunch of their friends) right now.
A high school friend of mine is there too. Hoping he is okay.
Completely unrelatedly, now I want oysters.
Mal: How come you didn't turn on me, Jayne? Jayne: Money wasn't good enough. Mal: What happens when it is? Jayne: Well... that'll be an interesting day.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The hurricane situation is terrifying.
msbelle, are you flooding? The news looked bad.
I wish I had oysters.
I didn't know off the top of my head, and the paperwork is all at home, but I was able to find the answer in one of the old Natter threads. Yay old Natter threads.
Love that.
I fear there's been some upheaval that is not in my favor.
That all...does not sound great.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Congratulations, Maria! That is AWESOME news!
As for weekend plans, I am doing absolutely jack shit, and that is exactly the kind of weekend I need.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
we are under flash flood alerts. I am not in low ground so not worried.
Raining for 2 days though, so yeah some areas are bad. Over where my parents live has a lot of low-road areas and a friend's husband hydroplaned off the road just after midnight.

Talk about mixed messages, Maria. I'm glad this ridiculousness ended on the positive.
Buy a boat, msbelle.
Everything in my body aches. Even my thumbs. Hormones are stupid.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Please stay safe, hurricane path and hurricane adjacent friends.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
My weekend plans are scanning photos, editing photos, and possibly even taking photos.

In addition to cleaning, I gotta bake some cookies for the pool guards. All the old guards are telling the new, and they ALL kept asking if it was cool enough now I'll start using the oven. HAH! So I'll probably make some snickerdoodles.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
We went to the grocery store, along with everyone else, and are now stocked with groceries and ready to spend the weekend holed up in the house.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Yay, Maria!
Ginger, I hope dealing with the medical stuff goes as smoothly as possible.
I carefully didn't schedule anything but a lash and brow dye tomorrow. I wanted an unscheduled weekend, as I've felt tired all week. I might walk to the farmers market; I might see Crimson Peak again, I might spend a couple of days learning the fly the mini-drone I got for my birthday. Or maybe I'll just read books.
ETA: weather~ ma to all who need it.
