I am in office only two days this week! I'm very excited about that.
This article made me side eye so hard. I totally understand and respect being stealth whenever you need. But REPUBLICAN?? Are you ducking kidding me?
Angel: I appreciate you guys looking out for Connor all summer. It's just—he's confused. He needs time. That's all. Fred: Right. Time, and some corporal punishment with a large heavy mallet. Not that I'm bitter.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Good news: Rescuers found a group of Thai boys and their coach who had gone missing 9 days ago. They were exploring a cave system that flooded. Everyone was still alive.

That is beautiful news, Dana.
I am empty nested! Brendon moved into his own apartment yesterday. He had nothing but an air mattress in the place at the moment, but he stayed there last night. His days off are tomorrow and Wednesday so we'll go a thrifting.

Oh good! When I heard about that on the radio it didn't sound very hopeful.
From meara's article:
Everyone loves you, until they know a little bit about you, and then they're all whispering about you at church.
That just struck me as so accurate.
The whole article makes me so sad.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Yay sleep!
Happy Birthday Week!
Boo car A/C.
Yay days off.
Yay empty nest!
I only have the 4th off, but the week seems like it might be fairly calm.
Mac is getting dreads started in his hair today. Because he has such loose soft curls it will be a slightly different process than normal locking, but I watched several videos of combing twisting and maintenance last night so at least feel like I have a beginner knowledge. I need to get him a cap to sleep in.

Neat.
I left my phone at home, forgot to take my meds, and really wish everyone around me would just not.
I am not that into July so far.

Fun! My son Brendon had a couple for a while and his hair is barely wavey. The Rastafari branch of my family all have dreads and they have a variety of hair types. Their biggest issue seems to be weight after a while. My SIL has absurd amounts of hair and has no choice but to chop it off to butt length on a regular basis because it is just too heavy. Her DH hasn't cut his hair in ~40 years, but his is much thinner and he just keeps it in a cap most of the time.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have done my first piece of the two main things I need to work on this week, so that's good. I should clean up my to-do list this afternoon, at least, but will I? Meh.

Two huge bags went out to ThredUP today. We took a bag of clothes for a Stitch to vw on Saturday, another two bags of stuff that are already too small for Stitch are heading to a cousin who is about to have her second girl. Another bag has been put aside for my cousin's baby boy, mostly of baby toys. And there are a couple of boxes of stuff that need to be donated. Project clean up the house is back on.
