Sorry, Jesse.
Unhugs to you.
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.
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.
Yeah, that's exhausting all right. Glad you got through it okay, Jesse.
Interested in the results of any experiments in melting. But safety first.
Dance went pretty well, I think? Raised $200 for the library, had quite a large audience. We only had one speaker for stereo sound for the first set, so that was...challenging, but I think we mostly managed well. We kinda fell apart on the last couple of songs, but I don't know how apparent that was to the audience. Hopefully not very. Was fun, though!
At the restaurant after I ended up at a small table with just my parents, which was fine because I haven't seen them in a couple of weeks so we had catching up to do. And the food was delish.
Tired now. Maybe wine time.
This is the part that's especially exhausting -- all the together time. Yikes.
Oh, Jesse, it's so exhausting. I hope you get Monday off to decompress.
It's so tiring. I always feel like I'm running interference for my mom at those things.
Why are there fireworks, neighbors? Is this a custom I am unfamiliar with?
