Inara: I think she looks adorable. Mal: Yeah, but I never said it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

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

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.

He probably got tired of saying the country and having people say "Where's that?"

So I'm finally watching the debates, and I made it through most of the first night, but find myself fast forwarding more through this second one. Possibly trying to do them back-to-back was a mistake. But I do think at least most of them sound like plausible people, which is something.

Our wings are not tired.

I watched live but also found the first debate more watchable. It should thin the herd. There was a clear top tier.

Yeah, absolutely. From this second group, I really just want to watch Kamala. At least I feel like I'm doing some due diligence.

I was looking forward to seeing Kamala and she did not disappoint.

DH is in Orlando for basketball so the kids worked with me all day to prepare for them to move back. Exhausted. Doing it again tomorrow. Rearranging and painting and packing me up for summer. So much to do.

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

Edited to say that I totally skipped and skimmed to tell you this, so ~mas as needed.

Who has two thumbs and got accepted into the grad school of her choice and got good news about her mother's health condition (AKA, Not Cancer)? This MPA honors-program girl with a healthy-to-her-age-with-existing-conditions mom!

(Major good stuff happening. Almost forgot what it feels like).

And OMG, grad school! Thanks for all of the ~mas, it sure helped!
