Oh Jilli that's wonderful news. I'm so glad.

Ha, yes,Emmett, you sister has hit a particularly fun age,

I'm sorry to hear that, Hil.

So annoyed that every time my aunt wants to talk to me, it's to Start Shit. And that she does it girly style so that if I took the bait, she could act like she wasn't doing anything. So healthy, Auntie Fucknut. (It's not really because we don't agree--I expect that at this point and have kind of accepted that y'all rank higher in my life. But it is kind of insulting that a. She's here and Ginger isn't. 2. The first time she's on my page in literal years(despite acting like your basic Pinterest family-oriented, blah, blah, my kids are my life chick) she wants to throw down. If she can't do better than that, she should block me, as I've blocked her. Or take the gloves off and let me kick her ass to make up for twenty birthday cards she never sent me.

Jilli, that's utterly fantastic. I'm very pleased for you.

Happy Birthday, CJ! And yay better behaving hip, Suzi!

I'm at my nephew's swim meet. It's not bad. Next week is the finals and there will be 5 teams and at a fancy place that always feels cramped. I will go because it's the finals and I want to support E. It may be the only thing I do for 3 days.

I've been seeing more of the guy. Mostly just hanging out, playing video games etc. We saw Baby Driver. He is fun and we have fun.

Happy Birthday cj!

Woo-hoo for no headache jilli!

And for better hips Suzi.

I am baking bread-well proofing dough right now-I need to keep a bigger supply of yeast and possibly some more interesting flours. I am experimenting by adding some here's DE Provence to thus batch.

I want to have a baking day. Peach and BlackBerry cobbler and peach pie.

I mowed part of the yard after arguing that I could do it. It's hard work and strenuous and hot so of course my 74 yr old mother says she should because it would be too difficult for me (physically ...and I wonder why I feel incapable of doing things a lot).

There is a fire pit with wood in it and next to it. Ants have taken up under the wood next to it. Mom sprayed the ants with ant killer and then was going to burn the wood in the fire pit.

I didn't think it was a good idea. I may be over cautious but it just seemed like a bad idea at least for a few hours.

The peaches are not ripe. I thought most were ok but I touched them and no.

I have 2 that need to be eaten today. 2 c of blackberries that need to be eaten now.

And a dozen or so peaches that are...hard...i went to the produce stand and asked for help gettib peaches I could use today is tomorrow.

I did make pie dough. I think it's wrong it was really sticky.

I have better luck with bread.

I'm siding with you on burning the sprayed wood. Let it air out.

Pie dough is tricky! So I hear, I wouldn't really know. If you put the peaches in a paper bag, they will ripen faster.

I haven't showered in a couple days because I've been in too much pain to deal with it, and I didn't have to go anywhere. Tomorrow, I do need to go places, and my hair is kind of gross, so I tried to take a shower, and there's no hot water. I texted my landlord, but no response yet.

there's no hot water

Well, at least it's ridiculously hot instead of mid-January.
