Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

and is currently being warmed and awakened in the recovery room (or cage, or friendly lap, or whatever guinea pigs get)
Super cute Prubs? She was a lap guinea for sure.

It was 90 today. What the everloving Heck?

My arms are sore but I think it's because I tore some dead tree limbs down by hand. I swear I was going to ask my new neighbor for a power tool (he's doing a remodel so definitely had a few options available and, better, probably would have cut the limbs for me instead of trusting me with random power tools.)

But then I thought I would strip some of the tiny wee branchlings off by hand. To make it easier for the eventual power tool wielder. The branchlings were dead simple so I tried the bigger ones. I really wish I had witnesses for the last hunk of dead tree I ripped off because I felt like the Hulk but less green and angry.

So glad to hear about Prubs! Tumor removal was how we lost Scooter when I was a teenager, but I didn't want to mention that until after she came out of surgery.

I have been sleeping ridiculously late all week since I've been on vacation, and today that torpedoed my planned day trip to Memphis. I did attempt to drive to dinner at a steakhouse in the next county over just to say I'd gone somewhere, but upon walking in and seeing a dining room full of people elbow-to-elbow I just wasn't comfortable with the amount of risk. If and when the pandemic ever ends, I'm going to have to completely re-acclimate my comfort zone to include masses of other people.

Our wings are not tired.

Sending warm cuddly healing thoughts to Prubs!

Visualizing Hulk Cass. Nice!

Wishing the happiest birthday to Allyson and hoping she feels the vibes.

Looking at more boats today, and probably picking up a sunburn. Saw one yesterday that was plenty roomy, but needed too much work. I told Brendon after a dozen or so years renovating the house I was done with that for a while. The smaller, newer, but more expensive models have the newer tech for easier maneuverability and I don't mind being cozier. All of them have lots of space for people on decks and such. Cozy cabins are fine for living as I can always go up top and enjoy the breezes and views from the flybridge if feeling confined.

I am not going to get to Bridgerton until next week it is killing me.

I'm hoping to start it Monday while ltc is at school, but I've mostly been watching things lately that don't require my constant attention while I sort through clutter.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Just read Taylor Hawkins, Foo Fighters drummer, dead at 50. WTF. RIP.

I just saw that. WTF.
