Look, you got a little stabbed the other day. That's bound to make anyone a mite ornery.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

What Theo said.

Sheryl, sounds like our kids are on the same Sunday schedule.

We had a birthday party for one of ltc's school friends yesterday, and today has been a bit of a lazy day. ltc made oatmeal for the week in the instant pot with TCG. She even used her new child safe knife set to peel and cut the apples! Then she helped me make risotto for dinner. She painted a couple of pictures and probably watched too much tv.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I actually did the expectations thing on a white board with my student workers Friday and it was great! We made a list of everything we needed to get done, which was a lot. I noted I needed two uninterrupted hours to work on an important time sensitive project. I spent the whole day not just wondering when they would be finished! We all had fun crossing stuff off the board!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

got to see Lisa and Bob today. Met new people through them and volunteered with the Ride for the Feast they do each year.

I got curtains up on the rod in my bedroom and some opaque cling film up on windows (front door).

Also ran into my across the street neighbor that I met last summer in the grocery store. She recognized me. Now I have more names on my neighborhood house map I have drawn myself.

Nothing makes me happier than hearing about buffistas spending time together.

Our wings are not tired.

Watching my annual football game. Halftime was better than some previous ones.

We aren't watching this year. We're watching Doctor Who and the BAFTAS instead.

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

I got back from DC on Friday night, and I've mostly been noodling around playing video games this weekend. I have been to the grocery store and the farmer's market, and I've got laundry in the dryer.

I was super busy while I was in DC. Everything went well except for one meeting which wasn't entirely my fault, but guess who has two thumbs and is agonizing about it anyway? This gal! Ugh.

but that sort of conflicts with wanting to do personal projects (gotta keep my tech skills sharp) and not really giving a shit about staying alive.

We really give a shit about you staying alive. Just putting that out there.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That sounds like a good day.

Adorbs!

Thrive to spite them

My mom is sick again. Or still sick. She had the flu. Thought she had pneumonia but maybe didn't and now has a virus and/ upper respiratory infection.

At this point she's been sick for almost a month

Oof, that sounds terrible.
