The hold music I am listening to seems to be caught in a loop between Sinatra's Fly Me to the Moon and ABC's Look of Love. It could be worse. I'm just puzzled because this a mobile phone company that's branded to the millennials, and this does not seem like their target hold music.

I am being nibbled to death by ducks, but I choose to focus on the fact that a brand new iPhone was left on my front step FOR ALMOST A WEEK and it was still there when I got home this morning.

Wow, Sue. That is awesome! I've been lucky with packages, but usually they aren't left for a long time.

Seriously. I mean I've never had anything stolen from my front step, but I've never had anything there longer than a few hours.

The first phone was sent with signature required upon delivery, so I have no idea why this one wasn't.

I can't not read about the Jeffrey Epstein thing, but it's filling me with so much rage. So much. I want to find people's houses and burn them down. (I would not really do that.)

Heh. I am overhearing a couple of coworkers talk about some recent game in some sport or other and it took me a couple of minutes to understand that they were not talking about soccer. Like, there are other sports happening now, who knew?

Well, that was fun.

I was taking a shower and I stepped towards the back of the tub. And in the time it took me to put weight on my left foot I slipped, did a complete 180 and was dumped out of the tub on the bathroom floor.

The main reasons this wasn't a disaster: (a) shower curtain instead of glass door; (2) didn't hit my head going down; (c) foot couldn't plant so I didn't wrench my back.

As it is I have a bruise on my elbow and my shoulder is slightly wrenched from landing on it.

See, when Matilda washes her hair (as she did yesterday before we went to camp) she uses a ton of conditioner which doesn't always drain out of the tub.

So I hit the the hair product equivalent of black ice and spun out.

Time to get some grippy tub stickers.

I hope Laura Snyder (childhood friend in TN who was the goalie for our state-champion high school women's soccer team) watched the World Cup and is celebrating appropriately. Or inappropriately, as she chooses.

When I was in high school (1981-85), Title IX was just starting to be a real thing, and I remember vividly how much difference it made to the women athletes in my classes.

Ow! Glad that wasn't worse.

I mean, there's Wimbledon, too, right?

(because it needs its own post)

Oh dear, Hec. I'm glad you weren't seriously injured.

As it is I have a bruise on my elbow and my shoulder is slightly wrenched from landing on it.

I feel like the worst pain/bruising will show up after 24 hours, so maybe put ice on your shoulder and/or elbow to keep it from getting a whole lot worse. Also maybe take 4 ibuprofen right now, and again before bed.

I mean, there's Wimbledon, too, right?

Is Wimbledon happening now? Shit, it's July. How did that happen?
