Our wings are not tired.

There's way too much shit to keep track of as a grown adult. I do not approve. Nor do I manage to keep track of it all.

Indeed

I texted my neighbor Omar and told him I had wine but had already packed my glasses, and did he want to bring his own glass over. He came running over with an empty glass and we had a delightful visit sitting in the driveway until it started raining. Part of my saying adios to neighbors. Sigh.

Ken haaaaaaates managing people and is irritated to find that he is very good at it.

Aw. That seems both the way of the world and very sweet

Wait, Ken is 34? Nope. Does not compute.

Fucking SERIOUSLY, man.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

My thoughts exactly.

Oh, hey, we saw John Mulaney's new tour last night, and it was really good. Definitely worth seeing. Although a good 75% is about his relapse/intervention/rehab, so if that's not your cup of tea, maybe skip it.

It was the first live event I've attended where we had to put our cell phone in locking pouches (that we kept with us), and it was (1) weird, (2) annoying, (3) oddly parental, and (4) pointed out how much I use my damn phone, because as soon as we sat down and I realized Steely Dan was playing, I immediately went to text my brother to tell him that (we really do just text each other the minutiae of our daily lives all day long), and realized, shit, my phone is locked up.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oof, Epic, I hope they figure some things out for you.

How am I a grown adult person? Who authorized this?

Listen.

Oh, thank GOD. Tim finally has an appointment with a therapist for Saturday. I know sometimes you don't click with the first therapist (although I did with mine), but I'm crossing my fingers they click, because he is dealing with so much shit right now.

Digits crossed that it is a good match for Tim.

Fingers crossed, Teppy. And I have never heard of this locking pouches thing. How does that even work?? Is it to prevent people from filming?

Laura that’s sweet that you could ask a neighbor for glasses and he’d come for wine!

I am not sure how I’m allowed to adult either sometimes. Like maybe “rent an apartment and manage ok” but not “plan for retirement and own a house”? I live in fear that I am not doing something I should be and the house is going to fall down around me due to neglect. That secretly there is rot everywhere and the bathtub will fall through the ceiling or the wiring will be eaten by mice and electrocute me or something.

It’s this: [link] . And, at least for performances, it seems to be primarily about preventing filming and other IP issues. But it sounds like there are schools that use them, too, to keep students off their phones.
