There's some mold or mildew showing in the paint above the shower in my bathroom. That's the only place, though. NC summers are basically mildew factories, but I crank the AC as soon as it cracks 80F, so that's less of an issue for me.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I don't have AC and the bathroom doesn't have a built in fan, so that room can be a problem. I have ceiling fans in all the other rooms so I can at least keep the air moving in hot, humid weather.
Ugh. Do you have stiffer-soled shoes you can wear in the meantime?
I mostly wear Docs so that's not an issue. I did switch to canvas ones yesterday to reduce the weight of the shoes a bit. The foot does seem to be improving so I hope I can lose the limp soon. I don't want to screw up other joints by compensating for the foot.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Guinea pigs? Has Matilda's guinea pig reproduced??
I just had a lovely massage, which I could've enjoyed for twice as long. Man. BUT, the awesome thing was she gave it to me for free (because she'd had to reschedule me twice, this was the third try).
Trying to decide if I want to get off the couch now and go to pole dancing class. I feel like I paid for it and I should give it another shot...but another part of me is saying "screw that, I'm relaxed now, and I hated it and why put myself through that?"

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Guinea pigs? Has Matilda's guinea pig reproduced??
We just got ourselves a pair - 3-to-4-week-old sisters, tentatively named Marcie and Prubs. I'm still a little nervous about the addition to our budget, but (a) it'll force us to keep things tidier; (b) even just the very short spates of petsitting Matilda's classmate's guinea pig proved conclusively that having critters around is very good for my mental health; and (c) Matilda has been alternately giddy and tearful with joy all day and my heart is squinching up with joy at her joy.

Guinea pigs were the compromise for kitty loving neighbor G ( mentioned on FB) because dad is so cat allergic. They live in harmony (and baby gates) with her brother's ball python and the family lab and labpit.
