But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It's hard for you.

Our wings are not tired.

That lunch would work for me. I had chicken fajita soup that was really quite tasty.

Toddson - yeah I remember the unpacking-and-organizing phase of getting into the new apartment - at least your CD collection wasn't tromped flat by firefighters! I mostly handled it by saying "I will do ONE BOX and take a break," although I occasionally found myself inspired to start on the next box instead.

I treated myself to Popeyes for lunch today but it was disappointing, treat wise. I don't know if they've changed or I have but it's just not seeming as delicious as it used to. Alas. But maybe secretly a good thing, I dunno.

Anyway, lunch, I had some, so that's good.

Yes, I try to do at least one box in the evening, can manage more on weekends. I'm upset that they managed to break some things and stole some ... I haven't finished unpacking my jewelry, and I'm afraid they stole some rings (and I'd mainly be upset that they stole one - with a tiny diamond - that gets passed on to daughters on their 17th birthday); I can't wear them any more because my knuckles are swollen and my fingers got fat, but this was from a company with a five star rating.

Oh, Toddson, that's a shame. Those movers really betrayed your trust.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Toddson, Maria, and Cass - I am sorry. It's a lot to handle. I wish things were easier. A lot of ~ma to all of you.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

And in-another-post: We are entering a heatwave of 34-42 Celsius degrees until Tuesday. I do not have A/C at home, and looks like a lock down/curfew will start on Monday because COVID. I am not excited by this.

And I should start thinking on Rosh Hashana and how to celebrate it this year.

I can't quite believe it's already almost time for Rosh Hashana, wasn't it just Pesach a week or two ago? This year, man. Incomprehensible.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

There is a serious thunderstorm going on here, with tornado warnings for just north of here.

Our excessive heat warning starts Saturday. Yay.
