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

Timelies all!

sj, the teachers at Mr.S's PEP program use 1,2,3 Magic, and have recommended it to us. We haven't looked into the system yet, because we are busy trying figure out things like where Mr. S is going this fall for preschool. (The place he was in last year a) was unsure of his ability to behave and b) took so long to get back to us that there aren't any slots left. grr...)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You guys are TCBing! Despite the efforts of the world to thwart you.

Sheryl, I started some of it today, and it seems to help a little.

Some of you may remember my nephew who was born with a heart condition. Well, he's a teenager now, and he has to go in for surgery to make some fixes to his heart monitor. Any ~ma you can spare please.

~ma for your nephew, sj.

Consistency is the key to 1,2,3. I liked the simplicity.

I must have used up all the good luck yesterday -- went to a mechanic because of a creaky-groany noise my car was making as it drove, and it turned out to be something they didn't charge me for (or make up something to repair for big bucks). I think I will be using them in the future.

Going to the mechanic and not spending money is the best! Car repair on on my agenda for the weekend. Last weekend was installing a new stereo in my son's car. This weekend will be replacing the spark plugs and ignition coils. Mostly an easy job, but the spark plugs are the easiest to get to.

I feel a bit sickened by the chant of "Send her back" at the Trump rally yesterday. It's not surprising, but that doesn't make it better. And it's just going to get uglier and uglier as the election heats up. At the moment I don't really see how Trump loses the election. I don't think he can win the popular vote, but, of course, that doesn't really matter.

Personally, I hope he keeps doubling down on the hatred and bigotry. I have to believe it will result in a historical landslide loss for him and the entire enabling GOP. It is the last chance for Republicans to turn their backs on him or they lose their party. If it doesn't roll that way, then yes I have to consider other options because I don't want to live in a land of bigots. Maybe CA will secede or I'll be off to the Netherlands.

Separately, yay for businesses that understand the value of goodwill.

I worked out yesterday for the first time in ages, and I'm very sore today. Although, I think at least some of the soreness is from the damp weather.
