So, I got a text around 1pm today. It's from a friend (sort of—I haven't heard from her in over a year) who's daughter is getting confirmed in a local UU congregation. Tomorrow, at 9am. She was inviting me to the confirmation, followed by brunch at a ritzy restaurant and a party back at her place.
I find myself reluctant to change my weekend plans and, given the brunch place, my entertainment budget, on less than 24 hours notice. Especially since, what with the timing, I suspect that someone bowed out at the last minute, leaving an empty seat in the reservations and opening it up to her second string "friends".
I've already been to her daughter's baptism in a different church, followed by lunch and whatnot. I think I'm going to give this event a pass.
Send a card. That should actually be enough.
Guys, I want to jump and squee at the news but basically I'm avoiding it all--I can't help expecting that it all comes to nothing and I don't think I can live with raised hopes and expectations, followed by more (the inevitable, I'm afraid) crushing disappointment. I'm totally aware that's not how other people deal, and that's fine. I just wanted to, I don't know, let y'all know what a supertitious old biddy I am, I guess.
As you were.
I'm expecting the Monday to find out the indictment is for someone low level. It might be Manafort but it maybe be someone less than that.
If it gives Trump a weekend of heartburn, I'll take it.
I'm guessing Manafort. The speed and enthusiasm that Trump throws him under the bus with will be huuuuuuuge.

I think you're right.

The thought that any of these racist grifters isn't legally immune gives me joy. I don't care if it's the poor schmuck who carries 45's paperclips.
I'm trying not to have any expectations at all, but I am hoping to be pleasantly surprised.

That. That right there.
I am with -t and Beverly.
I went to the local hardware store to buy a new coffee machine this morning since mine stopped working on Thursday... on a day when I had to be out the door by 6am. What cruelty, small appliance! Luckily I recently bought an electric kettle, so I've been drinking tea instead.
I've also made green curry chicken for lunch, vacuumed, went to the grocery store, and watched a documentary and then dropped it off at the the library. Now I think it's time for me to become one with the couch and watch Netflix.
