Both Brendon and I were tested for Covid in the last few days, and we are both Negative.
Good news!
I am excited to see people this weekend, more than I have done since March, but still all outside. Family today, friends tomorrow.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That sounds nice, sj.
I am weirdly missing Breakfast at Wimbledon. I'm sure I'll be a little sad about the fireworks etc not happening tomorrow but right now it's tennis that is getting me down. And I've missed watching many many times, so it doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

So far ltc has thrown at tantrum every time someone calls to wish me a happy birthday because she's not the center of attention.

I am going to spend today on the phone with insurance companies over a minor fender bender I had last night, and have a carpenter over to FINALLY get my hammock stand in working order. Saturday is the farmers' market, maybe a picnic, and avoiding the fireworks celebrations like the plague. Well, I guess the idiom is pretty apt in this case.

Our wings are not tired.
Yo, ltc! Suck it up child, this is Mom's day!

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

Herding cats for fun
Tell her WE are celebrating DH's Birthday today and we are not inviting her to share our lox and bagel breakfast.
So, Happy Birthday! May your tantrum child calm down and enjoy the lobster.

I was supposed to go early morning hiking but my partner bailed because she's not feeling well (she warned me last night but this morning said she felt worse). I don't feel like hiking by myself though. Bummer. I was looking forward to some greenery. Instead I went back to sleep, and now it's 10am and I'm just getting out of bed. Oops.

yum lobster.
I passed on mountain biking with my sibs this morning because I'm still recovering from giving blood two weeks ago. Turns out it takes 4-6 weeks to repopulate your hemoglobin, especially if you're not taking extra iron, which I wasn't. So I don't feel as bad about being gaspy and out of breath, but I wasn't about to be miserable and well-behind everyone else for a couple of hours in the hot sun. Next weekend, maybe.
My weekend is going to involve some baking: I think I will make rough-puff pastry and try to do kouign aman again. I hope this time they're less chewy (I don't think bread flour is appropriate, too much gluten develops).
Other than that, I will watch Hamilton and maybe start on that Netflix animated show Kibo something.

Thrive to spite them
So there were store level layoffs . People were talking about this at work today.
Yeah our economy was already struggling because it was too based on consuming. And I don't think there are enough people in power who really want to commit to changing things.
It's easy to talk about bringing jobs back as a campaign promises but those people don't want to deal with the reality of what they entails.
