Sigh. I hate random bad days. Like, when I can at least point to something bumming me out that's one thing (even if I know intellectually I'm having an outsized reaction to it or whatever) but today I'm just feeling super bummed for no apparent reason. And my friends are busy and I feel like I shouldn't lean on them so much because they aren't extroverts like I am :(

I'm sorry, meara. Maybe you can find some activity this afternoon that will break the mood. Getting outside and walking some, like a walk to go buy yourself flowers might help.

My son posted a picture on my FB wall today that shows a profile of his impressive beard. As you can see, he is not so much conforming, but he is working and bought himself a car so that is something. Even did the DMV title stuff by himself. So go adulthood! [link]

My swimming is being foiled this weekend. Just getting ready to leave & get a text that the pool is closing for the day. And it's really too late to drive to Towson. Ah well, I'll go for a walk.

Bah, sarameg. I hate when you're ready to do something good for you and it's foiled.

Me, I test drove a couple of cars today: the Kia Niro and the Prius wagon. I'm still leaning toward the Kia: I really liked the way it handled, and it's still fairly small, but it is taller than my Subaru and gets more than twice the mileage.

I slept in, made mac cry on his birthday by criticizing him and not making a big enough deal for his birthday, I guess.

so, basically homemaker and mother of the year here.

not really the motivation I was looking for to make this a productive day.

Aw, msbelle. You are great!

As you may remember, it is also my mother's birthday, and I made a really excellent roast chicken for dinner. She brought the bubbly. Sweet!

Supposably, the anesthetist for my MRI tomorrow is going to call me the night before the procedure. When I hadn't heard from them on Friday afternoon, I called, and they said, oh, he'll call you Sunday night.

Sooooo. 6:49PM my time. Want to lay odds on an actual call?

Are you specifically looking at Hybrids? The Mazda CX-3 and CX-5 and wonderful crossovers, but they do not make a hybrid.

I'm guessing no, Dana. But what would he say or tell you, the night before, anyway??

I spent all the money, this afternoon. Mostly at Sephora but also on a massage, and at the drugstore.

I have no idea how to parse this.

Cheese, delicious.

(((Dana))). I hope the MRI is easier than you expect. Somehow.

Let the record show, 11 wineries with chef provided food at each in 5 hours is a fuckload. I mean, good times, but past!Me thinking I could do laundry and take the garbage out on Sunday night was SO WRONG
