It's "feels like - 1" where I am, but the friends I'm visiting have a Breville espresso machine so it's not all bad.
Dawn: I think a date should be in a real fancy restaurant, then champagne at a night club with a floor show, then ballroom dancing. Joyce: Unfortunately, we're not dating in a movie from the thirties.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Good girl, Gilda.

Our wings are not tired.
Gilda is indeed a good girl.
Not sure what I am doing today. I do think I will stay home tonight because the dog will be a mess with all the fireworks. I'll probably give her a peanut butter dosed with Benedryl treat about 8 and see if she falls asleep before the city has their 9 PM fireworks. I'll go around and close windows and turn up the volume on the tv. All this will not work, but I try anyway.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I picked up a head cold at some point during my MI travels. Since I'm on vacation anyway, at least I can drug myself and sleep through the worst of it. Still, tiresome. Sorry about the migraine, aurelia

Ugh, Calli, being sick while on vacation is so irritating!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I do think it's bullshit that they cancelled the early evening fireworks and some other stuff here, but of course I was never planning on going to any of it anyway.

I have absolutely NO plans for this evening and I'm totally fine with that. Crawling in bed early sounds completely wonderful.
But before that, I need to get a jump on homework. I've had this week off from school and can get a bit ahead of my assignments today.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
My plans are to make lentil soup, set up my bullet journal, make some progress in setting up a blog, watching a movie, and reading a book.

My plans are to microwave some frozen black-eyed peas and collard greens, do some day drinking and putter around the house. Possibly go to sleep early and set an alarm for 11:30, I haven't decided. Also bullet journaling.
Have already spiked my coffee with kahlua and need to decide which local sparkling wine to open for bellinis...
