It's the reptiles that are disguised as humans that seems to be the dangerous wingnuttery.

Oh, I am sorry to hear that. I always kind of liked the lizard people living under Mt Shasta thing, I am bummed it's not harmless

Happy javachik day!

I am not having a good brain day. I tried to get up before dawn to see the planetary conjunction or whatever you call it, and the supermoon, but though it was dark when I woke up by the time I got out the door it was too light to see anything astronomical (I might have still been able to see the moon but I did not) although technically not sunrise yet. Went to the gym and forgot to bring in my towel and toiletry bag, and then felt weak and achy and accidentally paused my fitbit during my workout so cut it short, and I seem to have lost the red scrunchie that I wanted to wear today. But I followed that up with a trip to a new coffee shop I have been wanting to check out and I'm very pleased with that - Rosemary Ginger Soy Latte is even more delicious than I hoped, and the bagel was quite decent. And this coffee shop could easily be on my bike commute if I take the longer but not so busy route (it adds 50% to my commute distance! 3 miles instead of 2 miles. So, you know, more manageable than it sounds) which I am pretty excited about, having nothing between me and work is a drag. But I managed to think I had lost my car keys while in the coffee shop - when I found them they were (brace yourself) IN MY POCKET so I do feel very stupid now.

Brain may be doing you wrong, but I heard a rumor you were rocking Wordle.

Ha! Yeah, my start word came up today, which is nice. DId not take any braining, either!

Yeah, apparently the lizard people is an anti-Semitic thing. Pity. We need more harmless wingnuttery.

It's Wedding Eve for us. I took the day off for last minute stuff today, but we are shockingly well prepared. So it's pretty much just a day off. I'll take it!

Ceremony is just the two of us, officiant, photographer and a botanical garden in Veinna, VA. I made a res at a nice restaurant to celebrate, and then... life continues pretty much as usual. I am pleased with how we're doing it.

I'm also looking forward to planning a big, kick-ass party for friends and family (probably Spring) to celebrate -- somehow, separating the party and the ceremony makes it all feel so not-stressful to me. I'm so glad we are doing it this way.

You found 'em! That's not stupid. Plus you scouted out a new coffee place and you're getting on your bicycle, so...you're killing it.

You know that thing where you're juggling umpty jillion responsibilities and even if everything went smoothly, it would be difficult but nothing every really goes smoothly? That's the kind of daily snag we're hitting in the move.

The window guys are finally back to put in our restored windows (after about 6 weeks) but they have to paint them first. However, the paint they left in the garage (more than a month ago) is now gone. So they're sitting around smoking waiting for JZ to make a run to the hardware store and buy two more gallons of paint.

I really felt the Oppression of the Snags when Emmett and I were disassembling the solid oak table in our apartment so we could move it to the new house. First we discovered that the four bolts that needed to be removed required a special Allen Wrench set. So we made that hardware store run. Came back, found the right size, removed the first two readily, and got to the third one and it was stripped and it wouldn't come out! Gah! We finessed it anyway, and Emmett showed me the trick of stuffing the hole with foil so the wrench can still turn the bolt.

But the Path of True Moving ne'er ran smoothly. Snags galore, at every turn.

We're officially in the week of In Between where neither home is comfortable anymore.

But the Floor Guys should finish up the kitchen floor in the old apartment, and by the end of the week we'll rent a UHaul van and switch the last stuff to the new house, and move E&K into the apartment.

Just in time for Jon B. to be our first guest in the Garden Apartment.

Matilda started her summer job with SF Parks & Rec. She had been quite bummed that she had been assigned to a tennis camp instead of a softball camp. However, after the first day it turns out that it's only partially tennis, with arts and crafts, and weekly field trips, and weekly pool trips. So that's way way better.

It's Wedding Eve for us.

So exciting! A blessing on your pointy little heads! Mazel Tov!

Thanks!

So excited for you guys be ensconced in your new place. Amazing. And it's so lovely!

Glad Matilda gets more than just tennis... gotta say, I'd be happy about that, too, no offense to tennis.

Yay wedding eve!! And yay moving along in the moving process, even if frustrating.

I am super sleepy today and not sure why.

It's Wedding Eve for us. I took the day off for last minute stuff today, but we are shockingly well prepared. So it's pretty much just a day off. I'll take it!

I legitimately bounced in my seat when I read this! Happy Wedding Eve!
