Thanks for all the good wishes!
In addition to Hec's commitment to the Treat Yourself! ethos, I also stopped at this place on the way home to get some fancy desserts. It's so pricey that it's a once or twice a year indulgence at most, but everything is not only unbelievably pretty but so, so perfectly crafted and delicious (and if we're going to splurge, might as well be at a local, woman-owned business).
Oh, happy birthday, Hec!
Thanks, Shir!
Traditionally June 29th is Eat Birthday Cake For Breakfast Day (for me anyway).
Since we had no cake I had to make do with the Key Lime Tart and some of the other fancy desserts JZ brought home. Delicious gluttony!
Matilda spent the night at her friend's house and when I have the back door open to my Nerd Hole I can hear them laughing over there.
I'm having a hard time doing anything today. Brain full and spinny and also sinuses hurting. I feel like bees buzzing just under my skin. I slept in and only had half-caf coffee and I took my meds and ate some food. I half watched the end of GER/SWE world cup and that seemed to be easing whatever, but now I am in internet refresh refresh refresh cycle while a list of a million things I should/could be doing runs through head.
The idea of watching tv/movie I would need to follow storyline on seems too much.
No hairpats needs, just brain dumping.
Timelies all!
We took Mr. S to a sensory-friendly showing of Toy Story 4 today. Poor Gary had to spend a fair amount of the film chasing him around. I think we may wait a while before we try that again.
Sheryl, I am so sorry about all the issues you have been having. Have you been able to get an appt at a child psychologist? Has your pediatrician made any suggestions/referrals?
Yeah, I've got the sinuses thing too. Storms blowing in, maybe?
We had storms early this morning and more now, but in between I went on an interesting walking tour and had lunch with mostly church folks, which was lovely. Came home, did a tiny amount of yard work and slightly more housework, and am now watching Law & Order, as one does.
And two things: Xiomara Villaneuva de la Vega is a recurring cop this season, and in this episode, they gave a Sierra Leonean guy (played by Lance Reddick!) a Rwandan name. Why?? Seriously, Africa is not one country.
mac will still tell people he is from "Africa" as I scream into the wind.
msbelle, I've been playing phone tag with a child psychologist recommended by Mr. S's pediatrician. She gave me her e-mail on the last mission, so I'll send her an e-mail tomorrow.
