Don't worry, I'm not gonna start any sword fights. I'm over that phase.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

To be clear, I'm not annoyed at Bride. I'm annoyed at Best Man (who is a giant racist misogynistic abusive ass who I avoid like the Black Death whenever possible) for his inability to communicate (and possibly plan), so that the labor had to get shifted to Bride. I mean, he skipped right over having Groom contact Tim and had Bride contact me. Which, now that I think about it, is entirely unsurprising.

Absolutely. Men actually do have the ability to share information and make plans, they might be surprised to know!

Yesterday I did a 10-minute arms-and-abs workout my sister recommended on Youtube.

I would be interested in that recommendation! Starting yoga once a week again makes me remember that it actually is good to do stuff with my body and maybe once a week isn't enough.

It's the craziest thing, I know.

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

I don't know, I hear men lack connections between the hemispheres of their brains, I can see how that would be a hindrance in communication, and maybe planning. No offense, guys, it's just biology!

My husband's friends used to try to pull that and I just flatly refused. Which probably meant we didn't get invited to as much stuff, but I'm okay with that.

The numbness has completely gone, so am left with the throbbing from all that digging (I have a fifth root, it turns out. And scar tissue from the original root canal 10+ years ago. Do not recommend.) And I've got to schedule the filling after the final part, which is just before I leave for Alaska, which will mean another disrupted week.

I would be interested in that recommendation!

It's Rebecca Louise, she has a whole bunch of videos. This is the shortest one I've found, although I think the "narrow pushups" are really hard.

Sorry about the throbbing, sarameg.

I think I got the one last life insurance policy thing resolved, yay. I haven't heard from the tax preparer in weeks, argh.

And now I should try to do some work.

Oh yikes, Sara.

Cool, thanks.

OY, sarameg, that sounds like a lot of no fun. Easy healing to you.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Tennis is giving me anxiety.

Tennis is giving me anxiety.

I'm pretending that this is why I'm not being more productive today.
