Yesterday was fix the disposal and go to a graduation party for a neighbor. today was build a piece of furniture that I designed and Matt brought to reality. Conception to reality was the long process. Going to have to move the furniture soon.

ION , we are debating dinner choices healthy, or not so healthy

Father's Day is always also Clearwater weekend, so we celebrated with a two-day music festival ten minutes from our house. We saw The Nields, TMBG, and Ani Difranco on Saturday, and Rhiannon Giddeons today (plus a lot of awesome groups I didn't know). And I bought a parasol and had a ginger cookie/lemon ice cream sandwich and managed to get only mildly sunburned. And then my sister came over and we had Indian takeout and talked about theater.

It's been a good weekend. I did zero chores. The house is a disaster and we have nothing to eat except bagels and leftover Indian food, but it was worth it.

That sounds great, Jess!

What kind of furniture, beth?

That is really cool.

I hope the wrist heals quickly, sarameg.

My daughter just came over to me, wished me a happy Father's Day and gave me a hug. Suddenly, a kinda crappy Father's Day became a really good one.

Mmm, ginger cookie with lemon ice cream. Nom nom nom

I'm lying on the bed naked because it's still in the high 80s and we don't have AC. It's only going down to the high 70s tonight. It won't be fun. The DH hasn't wanted to buy an AC unit because it usually cools down at night, but I may just have to stomp out to Lowe's tomorrow and pick one up.

Also, Happy Fathers Day to Gud and all Buffista dads.

Well done, daughter of Gudanov. Give your dad the hug that all of us wish we could.

I got Gerber daisies and thai food! Also a nice call from Emmett.

We ended up going for Thai food after bowling. We had intended to go to a German restaurant, but they were playing the soccer game on TV in the restaurant and the tables would not clear. So we walked next door and ate Thai after waiting over an hour for elusive schnitzel.

Sad Father's day for my cousins. My 1st cousin that we practically lived with growing up had a 46 yo son with Down Syndrome who suffered a stroke late last week. His uncle called me to let me know he wasn't going to survive. He spent the last few days surrounded by his large and loving family, including my sister, and passed last night. Trying to see if I can make it up there before services.

My departure is delayed because I need to get my son situated in a place of his own, so he and his father don't kill each other without me to referee. Found a place but haven't met with the management yet. Maybe today. DH is not thrilled about my leaving, but I have to get my place in Otter Lake cleaned and prepped for people visiting after the wedding in July.

The List, she is long.
