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!

Our wings are not tired.
Happy Wedding Eve! I love the non-stressy way you are doing it.
I'm in ugh mode on renovations. Windows aren't generally available in the size and shape I want and are taking a lot more effort to purchase than desired.
Other than that a productive day. Went to the gym again at 6:30 this morning with my sister. It's an unattended gym with 24 hour access via fobs so we were looking at the logs to see when a slump time might be. Sunday we were alone, and we shared with 2 other people today and yesterday so not a big deal, but when people arrive for summer that could change.
Took the dog to the vet and got gold stars all round. Did I ever tell you that one of the vets here played Charlie in the Willy Wonka movie in 1971 when he was 12? Anyway, we didn't see him today because he mostly does the horses and cows, but locals are glad that he chose animals over movie stardom.
Next door to the vet is a guy who does tattoos and has chickens so I picked up some eggs from his self-service little fridge out front of his place. Also left my empty egg cartons that I save for him to reuse.
Change of pace from the multi-million people metropolis of Broward County to Otter Lake where the census tells me has a population of 109. Both have advantages and disadvantages. eta: I checked to see what the population was for the big village where we go to the gym, and it is 606! It is a tourist town though so lots of seasonal people like me that don't get counted.

Wow! I knew that the actor went on to become a vet, but didn't know that he was your vet! (Or would be if you had horses and cows.) Cool!
I'm in ugh mode on renovations.
We have to find a contractor to renovate our bathroom, and while that's being done, Tim wants to get the plumber in to do some fixes/possible re-pipe work, and all I can think of is Buffy yelling "No more full copper re-pipe!" But I will be thrilled to have our weird little bathroom renovated into something more useful and less bathtub-y (the bathroom is very very small, and the cast-iron pedestal tub takes up A LOT of real estate; we only ever shower, so we need to get rid of the tub entirely in favor of a nice roomy shower enclosure with a seat, given that we are getting old and sometimes body parts stop working properly [and, Tim pointed out, sometimes you're just tired and want to sit down while you wash your Rapunzel hair]).

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Happy wedding eve!
Sending healing and coping and safety and self-care ~ma to Sheryl and Gary and Mr. S.
Ugh, Tom, I'm so sorry. Careful, distanced hugs.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh wow!
Hope you don't feel too bad, Tom.
Happy wedding eve, Jen!!!

And so many hugs or comforting, socially distanced waves to everyone who needs them.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
It's Wedding Eve for us.
Awww. I'm so glad you have found a non-stressful way to manage it! EtA I feel like you should leave out milk and cookies for, IDK, someone. Wedding Fairy?
Did I ever tell you that one of the vets here played Charlie in the Willy Wonka movie in 1971 when he was 12?
I! I had read somewhere that he was a vet now, but he's your vet! Sort of. Exciting!

How exciting! I knew he was a vet but had the notion he was in the UK.
My friend Ellen lives in Lake Carmel, NY and Jim Dale is a regular customer at the farmstand where she works. You never know what celebrities you're going to run into in upstate NY.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Happy Wedding Eve!
Another part of the stress is not knowing how they are treating Mr. S. Gary's been trying to set up a family Zoom meeting with the doctors, but no luck so far.
