Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Given my brother & SIL, my nephews will have to up their game to epic proportions. I don't think Dominic has it in him. Tyler? I think he might give it a go, but even his chaos has an order to it. His stubbornness, however, is going to make for interesting times. He matches his parents, and his mother in rage.
Ripped up a bag of ivy. Am now sneezing. I hate leaves.
Dancing at the library this afternoon. Pretty low key, but likely to be the most people I actually know in the audience. Got an hour still before I'm supposed to be there, and an hour and a half of prep with the troupe before we go on - kind of at a loose ends for the moment.
Oh, whoops, I haven't done my daily meditation yet. That's probably a good idea.
Tomorrow will be all about the yard work and housework I have been neglecting...
I have succeeded in getting the wax out of my carpet, but it was a highly dyed candle. Of course it was deep maroon, and it dripped onto a beige carpet. So I've got a pinky stain on the carpet, which is a thousand times better than the small pile of maroon wax. A stain remover will probably make a dent in it.
I bought a heat gun for the purpose and bought the second cheapest one, because it had a much lower bottom setting than the cheapest one, 250 vs 700.
So now I have a heat gun. I probably shouldn't start looking around my place and musing "Will it melt?"
Made it through my father's funeral and finally gave up on family time and came downstairs alone to watch tv for a bit. This is the part that's especially exhausting -- all the together time. Yikes.
Sorry, Jesse.
Unhugs to you.
Yes Jesse, I remember being utterly drained after my sister's memorial especially.
Also WRT lying - my kids lie a LOT more than I ever did as a kid (but I was neurotically truthful) but luckily for me they aren't any good at it
"Hello there, first-cousin-once-removed-of-Jesse, my name is Tom, and I will be Jesse's designated hugger for the evening. Jesse sincerely accepts your condolences."
Ha! I totally hugged everyone and it was fine. You would have been welcome to hug my second cousins on my behalf, though!
Family that you don't see regularly can be intense, even if they're people you get on with.
So now I have a heat gun. I probably shouldn't start looking around my place and musing "Will it melt?"
Not gonna lie, I'd find that hard to resist myself.
