Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

"from one A/C to another"

Yeah. It wasn't that hot here this weekend, but it's been super muggy. So a Southerner was complaining, and I was like, "Isn't this your native weather???" He was like, yeah, but A/C.

FYI, tonight's L&O has a baby Idris Elba (fans self) and Kerry Washington, pre-nose job.

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

(Continued thank you. I'm still processing, because I'm a kind of person who needs a bit of time to process good things as well as bad things. And it's a big change. I'm actually starting in three weeks with a summer semester of economics, math, and statistics, three and a half days a week. I'm still more excited than fearing the numbers at this point.)

Oh, yeah. Hell yeah. You described 20% of most of my work days. So much of "it is known", less much of "and it is mentioned and documented here. Oh wait, it's not. What they probably meant in that section is..."

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

I've been at work for 45 minutes, and I'm already asking myself, "Is it Thursday yet?"

I started off my vacation with a massage, which was a great call. Next I'm going to take a picnic lunch to a local park.

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

Woo, Shir! Congratulations!

Grr, Theo. That is both shocking and somehow not. Which only makes it more aggravating, really.

Woke up with a sore throat that does not seem to be going away. Whine.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

That is great news on both fronts Shir, congrats!

Temperatures here in AR are in the 90s and muggy, but that's nothing out of the ordinary for the beginning of July, and the frequent rainfall seems to have deprived the mosquitoes of their usual stagnant pond breeding grounds.

I spent much of the weekend deep diving for evidence of Richard Madden and Brandon Flynn being a new-ish celebrity couple, with the result that I ended up dreaming about dating Madden myself last night. Now that's how a new hobby should reward interest; stamp collecting and gardening take note!

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

Timelies all!

We have found a caregiver service to watch Mr. S for the next couple weeks. They're supposed to be good at dealing with special needs kids. So far, so good.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

That is good news, Sheryl! Fingers crossed!

Timelies, all! As I was reading, I remember seeing stuff I meant to respond to, but then work made me, like, do work and stuff. So hugs, ~ma, and congrats as needed!
