Spike: Lots of fuss over one girl. Other things to do around here--important things. Angel: You know that whoosh thing you do when you're suddenly not there anymore? I love that.

Our wings are not tired.

Continued rapid recovery ~ma for H. Take that wheel, mama!

Stuff is in a huge 26' Pensky truck. Alas, not everything fits, so I'll cram as much as possible in my car. DH will have dog in front seat of truck and I'll have cats. Beginning the trip sometime today. When those duckies finally line up.

Beverly, I hope H had a quick and easy recovery. I’m so sorry to hear about the stroke.

Hec, I love everything about the new decor, and I’m going to have to visit some day just to have one of your cocktails there.

Seconded!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Laura, you are juggling so many balls! I would be a wreck.

Seconded!

I would love to have you both over for cocktails!

Today is Matilda's last day of school, finishing her Sophomore year. Considering the entirety of Freshman year was spent on Zoom, this year was a vast improvement.

She gets exactly two days off, and starts her summer job on Monday. Her boyfriend leaves for Texas on Friday (staying with his mother for a month), so that's going to put a damper on her summer fun.

And the movers are coming today. These are the movers that will take all the furniture and stuff we have in storage at a friend's house nearby and take it to the new house. It's a mix of stuff that we bought at the White Elephant Sale (the Vanity, the Cabinet with the secretary), the vintage bed frames we bought, and all the stuff we had offloaded from our apartment previously.

So the new house will be full of stuff but not habitable yet, since we're awaiting new mattresses which will arrive next week. Some time next week there will be a second round of moving as we take stuff out our apartment and move it over to the new house, whilst moving Emmett in over here.

I'm glad we don't have to make it all happen in one day, but it will make things very cattywampus for the next couple weeks.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Glad to hear your DH is recovering well, Beverly! Best wishes to you both.

Laura good luck!!

Healing vibes to DH Bev!

Hec that sounds chaotic but like awesome forward momentum as well!

My company sent out a Pride thing and the message is fine (the theme is “love the science of you”??) but the graphic is hideous and unreadable. Ah well.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

BevDog! Oh no, poor DH. Love snd healing.

ION - I am having a pissy day at work and people can F off.

All day training is keeping me from being vocally belligerent, so that’s good.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I lost a filling (or, as it turns out, part of a filling), and the dentist fixed it today. He had an all-80s Spotify channel playing, and now I have "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" stuck in my head.

Other hits I heard included: "Islands in the Stream," "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go," and "Purple Rain." I honestly forgot about the existence of "Islands in the Stream" until today.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

My kids are big Dolly Parton fans, and they love "Islands in the Stream." I've heard that song more in the last year of my life than in the 40 previous years combined.
