That's very cool, Atropa!
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

I've also been getting audiobooks, because summer means an upswing in migraines.

I bought a dress to pretend I'm at the beach and not loafing around the house: [link] I'll wear it to loaf in our overhauled backyard when that project gets finished.
Also gym shorts, because I am loafing around the house and not at the beach. And I'm buying skin care but not makeup, because I almost never leave the house, and when I do, half my face is covered with a mask anyway.

I think I am all out of can for the day.
I've got an Audible subscription and I had stockpiled credits for a while so I was burning through those but now I have to wait another month for a new credit to get anything new. Audiobooks are a little rich for my blood, really, but I like them very much.

When I have to lie down with the microwave beanbag on my head for a migraine, I end up listening to one of John Mulaney's Netflix specials, or letting an episode of some show that I've seen a gazillion times play on the iPad while I listen to it. Audiobooks make much more sense.

People know about Chirp for audiobooks? also libraries.

It's so comfortable, too. And I definitely did not pay $100 for it -- I got it during a random sale for like $47 or so.
Tim (well, *Ava*) is perpetually shopping on Poshmark, so fancy clothes get delivered like once a month -- today's delivery was a houndstooth bodysuit and a black pencil skirt. Tres chic. (And I feel the need to point out that the last article of clothing I bought was $7 gym shorts, and that right there is the dynamic in our marriage. I have literally asked "Don't you have enough black heels?!?" I'm a goddamn stereotype.)

I think I might have registered with Chirp but forgot about it, I should check on that. I have a delinquent fine situation with the library that I need to sort out before I can make use of them...

Oh, and I bought a new lawnmower and batteries for the weed-eater. It's a thrill a minute over here.
