We spent all day yesterday cleaning the house, all day today cooking and doing errands, and tomorrow we're having family over for our belated Father's Day brunch. So tired.
What should I do, then? Send her a gift? Sacrifice? … Unholy fruit basket?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I should have spent today working in the yard and cleaning the house but I was tired and it's hot (down to 88 now) so I spent the day reading instead. And tomorrow's the Sonoma County Fair, so I'll have to squeeze any cleaning etc around that. Ah well, so it goes.

Our wings are not tired.
I hope you were able to get some good sleep, sj. I worry about you doing too much while still sick. Try and delegate as much as possible. And enjoy the brunch!
I've been avoiding chores. Basic animal care and dishes has been about it.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEPH!!!!

Thanks, Laura. I didn't sleep very well, but ltc goes back to camp tomorrow and then my nieces are coming over to watch ltc in the afternoon. So, I should get plenty of rest. And we're making enough food today that dinner this week shouldn't be a problem.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Thanks, folks!!! So far, so good. I have iced coffee and it's actually a sunny day, which is amazing after the seemingly endless rain here.
We get to go meet the 5-day-old new great-niece today, and then dinner at my mom's. Also presents from Tim (I assume, since he's currently shuffling around mysteriously in the office).

Sounds like a nice day, Teppy! Is this your first grand-niece/nephew?
We have quite a few now, but the idea of the first one (not the incarnation of it) was a bit of an assault to my vanity, as I felt far too young to be a great-aunt. In my defense, I was still in my 30s.
If I read Bitches correctly, it's also askye's birthday.
Happy Birthday, askye!
