I plan to go grocery shopping tomorrow and I made a list - basically sandwich fixings, beer and popsicles. Too hot for anything else. Pretty proud of myself for thinking to mak a list, I haven't gone grocery shopping in a store in a while.
My whole life just flashed before my eyes! I gotta get me a life!

The cat-food-scoop-losing roommate (there is only one, but that is the particular outstanding feature of the moment) had to go to the ER this afternoon because her knee was acting up badly and they were worried about blood clots. Appears it was just fluid buildup.
The food scoop has mysteriously reappeared. I'll get around to asking her exactly where it was soon.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

My money is on: (1) freezer; (2) carried it into her bedroom; (3) [an outside chance] put it in her purse/bag she always carries.

How sad is it that those are realistic possibilities?
Since I am essentially solar-powered, I am up at 5 AM here, where the sun is getting ready to rise. Too. much. light. sigh

My sister. One nice thing about working from home is that I can go directly from work to rest (or even a short nap) instead of commuting for an hour or more.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I am most certainly not solar powered. I would have stayed in bed a good while longer.
No workers yesterday and likely none today, so Juneteenth cookout in the yard - (spaced out sanitized - separate tables - no contact serving (a drop off pick up table)) - is going to have the "bonus" of giant piles of dirt and a two foot ditch. Ugh
Other Ugh - two more workers at my parents' retirement community have tested positive. One works in the area that my parents are. They go off work immediately, but still. That is a total of 4 employees, but no residents. So worrisome, but hopefully my parents will re-institute more of a lockdown. My dad went to a Dr. yesterday and both of them had already opted to go get haircuts. they need to stay their butts in their apt.

Our wings are not tired.
I am solar powered as well, which means super early days when I head north in a few days.
Apparently not quite adequately caffeinated though. My office phone just rang and I was confused as to which of my practices would be open on a Saturday.

Good news: The farmers' market is re-opening, with strict mask guidelines in place!
Not-so-good news: It's on Saturday morning, so every other weekend I have a shift that blocks me from going.

Look, if I tell you "please allow through 6/22" for a thing, it's really going to annoy me if you ask for an update on the thing on 6/19 and I'm not going to tell you anything except to wait another few days.
