Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

Also, in "wow my life is super gay" news, turns out the person whose parked motorcycle I backed into and tipped, the other week? Is someone I matched with on tinder back in like March and neither of us realized until they just messaged me having redone loaded the app and were like "wait a sec..." SO GAY

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That is hilarious, meara.

So sad about the cake making travails, Vortex!

I AM DONE WITH WORKING FOR THE NEXT TEN DAYS (except for the one thing that I can't get out of doing even while I am on vacation, sigh (and turning off my phone but that isn't so much working as going in to work for a minute which I will try to do tomorrow or maybe I will just not answer my phone))

And now I just want to go to bed. My day was not difficult in any interesting or unusual way but I sure am tired from it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That is a small world, meara!

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

want cake now. or cookies. don't really care what kind...but there is no leaving the house for any reason right now unless it's to evacuate. Seriously regretting loaning out my respirator (for a good cause - friend was going to protests and likely to get tear gassed. Didn't predict this fire season, for sure. I do still have a few N95's which will be better than cloth masks if worse comes to worse and I do have to load up the car. Ugh. `

Our wings are not tired.

and were like "wait a sec..." SO GAY

That made me chuckle aloud. Awesome.

Sorry about the cake failures, Vortex. I hope the gathering is delightful.

VaCaTion Woooooo! Enjoy.

So my younger son just told me that he has been to the hospital a couple times in the last couple weeks with TIAs and heart issues. Not cool! He is however super on top of it. Seriously dieting and determined to nip this in the bud. Yes, I am freaked, but at the same time grateful that he and his wife are both super responsible and will do what it takes to fix it. He just turned 26!!!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I went to the doctor again today. Rapid Covid test was negative, but the doctor thinks I might have pneumonia. So he sent me for a chest x-ray, and the x-ray tech said that the doctor would call be later today with the results, but he didn't. I've got a few new meds, though. And a ton of work to do over the weekend, because I've been so tired that I'm falling behind on everything.

Yikes, Laura! Hope he and his doctors can get it under control, that sounds scary

Oh Hil, I hope you can get some rest because you really need that more than catching up with work. Prioritize.

Oh dear, Laura! That does sound scary.

Hil, I hope you can take care of yourself and heal.
