My day was pretty much a wash too. Did one load of laundry. Went to Fire Department rummage sale and scored a couple good things, plus baked goods. Pretty lazy. Tomorrow needs to be better.
This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

Timelies all!
Mr. S woke us up at 3:30 am, and insisted on getting in bed with us. He didn't settle down at all, and Gary put him back in his bed, which he was quite upset by. Everyone is tired.
Theo, actually the nanny was here Mon-Wed of last week as well as this week. Went pretty well, other than him getting some food/beverages that he shouldn't. Next week starts the three week program we got him in. (It runs until 3 Mon-Thurs, and 12 on Fri, so I'm going to be using a fair bit of leave)

Was it Pearl Harbor that gave me "Lipstick of Death"? I think so. With meara &?
Been a long day. Cat bath. Cat pilling. Cat coning. Mad sad cat. Uhg, Want to sleep, not there yet, which sucks because I'll be awake by 6 if I'm lucky to get that long.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Sheryl, that sounds encouraging! I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
I drove a little this morning, but I ended up at Readercon, the local text-focused SF convention where there were some fascinating panels and a bunch of old friends that I caught up with, including an expedition to a dim sum place that had quite a lot beyond the standard Americanized fare including pork tripe, pork trotters, and curried jellyfish. (We tried none of those, thanks be.)
There's a little more today, so I'll get out there by and by.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I did not plan to be up early enough to watch the men's Wimbledon final, but here I am.

Could have been? I have only vague memories but I do remember watching that movie for sure.

Mr. S woke up around 3 again this morning. This time he actually went to sleep in our bed for a few hours. Still up too early. His party was today, and went pretty well. We have opened the presents, and he's played with parts of them. He seems to favor the "mini slime" he got from Bounce U.

Happy Birthday to Mr. S! Time to start sleeping more, little man.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
uneasy today.
feel fine, just uneasy. social media CLEARLY not helping, so I am only coming here for a bit. I am giving myself until 5pm for ME and then I am logging onto work and working for 1-2 hours (no more) and then have 2 more hours for ME and then shower and bed.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yesssss!
I just got home from my band retreat, and I am exhausted!! It was great, though.
