Timelies all!
It's been raining here, heavily at times. Between the weather and the fact that Mr. S has been behaving badly most of the day, I have a feeling no one in this house is going to see fireworks.
Whoa. Good myth.

Thrive to spite them
We went to Matthew's aunt and uncle's right afternoon. They were having a big pool party all day leading up to fireworks. We didn't stay. I sat outside most of the time and it was hot. I didn't do anything but I feel totally drained. I checked the weather at 5 and it was a heat index of 99.
I am peopled out for today so we aren't going anywhere tonight. I told him to feel free to go without me but he said he would stay home.

Our wings are not tired.
Glad we had such a nice display last night because I don't think I'll make it tonight. Here's hoping lightning strikes in DC, oh say around the Lincoln Memorial.
My friend who moved last year to Vegas said her apartment building was swaying and she was none too happy. Said it made her nauseous. It was a first for her after living in Brooklyn and S Florida.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I was walking into the room, literally turned around and walked out. MIL was having a speakerphone conversation with her bestie, a vocal Trump fan.
Then husband and in-laws bickered about what to watch on TV. I'm kind of hoping fireworks get rained out.

MIL can't hear but hates captions, so the TV is blaringly loud.

It's a little warm (hi 80s) but otherwise nice night for patriotic activities up here in MA, almost as if God smiled on liberal strongholds or something.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Are stores even open tonight? Dana, I'm wondering if you might need some ingredient for something.
Oh! Or do you want to treat the family to ice cream you will volunteer to go get??
