That is a fabulous update, Shir! Cheers! Very excited and happy for you and yours.
Spike: At least give me Wesley's office since he's gone. Angel: He's not gone. He's on a leave of absence. Spike: Yeah, right. Boo-hoo. Thought he killed his bloody father. Try staking your mother when she's coming on to you! Harmony: Well…that explains a lot.

Back to the reorganizing my entire household while also planning going north for a few months. Sheesh, my plate is loaded.
I thought I would distract myself and catch up on the news. Not surprised to see the disgusting object occupying the White House is using his overseas time to play footsie with the worst leaders on the planet and ignoring our actual allies.
Back to menu planning instead. Seems a better use of time.

I introduced one of my other friends to the church friends, and they ended up walking away together and making plans to get together again! Which I think is hilarious and also a good sign. The original friend is someone I met through someone else anyway, so it's just one big chain.

That's nice, Jesse. Shows you understand your friends' taste in friends!

That's great, Shir!
I'm in full "hide from the evil orb" mode. I don't know how people in European countries, where they're not used to this insane heat nonsense, are coping. Last night I had to pick up a friend who'd dared to walk around outside for a while and ended up surrounded by emergency services personnel helping her rehydrate. This has been my annual "hot weather sucks" post. Thank you for your attention.
In other news, I'm in a full on David Tennant rewatch frenzy after Good Omens. Broad church really holds up to a rewatch. Several of the performances are outstanding.

Thank you, all!

How bad is it there? A Mediterranean who is starting to complain at 97F asking.

It's been in the mid- to upper-90sF for the past week and likely to remain the same for much of the week to come. I tend to wilt in anything over 80.

That is indeed difficult. We're doing the "from one A/C to another" here and waiting until the great orb in the sky will go and bother other countries. Also, ice-everything (in drinks).

Yes, also melting here. I just got back from a quick trip to the grocery store. No shady places available in the parking lot. This may have influenced my decision to buy watermelon.
