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

Sheryl, I'm glad you tested negative.

ltc is at dance camp this week. These are her first dance classes, and she's having a great time. Meanwhile, I'm enjoying the freedom of having my house to myself.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Getting divorced in the 30s in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan was already shocking, so the family thinks maybe they were “together” long before anyone knew.

My dad's side of the family lived in the UP from the 1890s through 1990. (The Iron Mountain and Marquette areas.) Maybe our families knew each other.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

When I get nerve blocks, I remember ita talking about getting them and how painful they were. So I figure if she said it hurt, it must really hurt, and my pain is justified. They're short, thankfully, but jesus christ.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

So very tired...

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

::waves::

I am stupendously tired. I could probably just go to bed right now but that would mess me all up for tomorrow.

Sorry I do not have the energy to actually respond to anyone. I have been thinking things as I read!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Calli, my mom is from Escanaba. Not too many people up there in the frozen North, so you never know!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Sorry I do not have the energy to actually respond to anyone. I have been thinking things as I read!

Full credit!

One television successfully delivered and wall mounted. One hour long zoom call with NBC documentary maker. One daughter signed up for six months at the gym because she wants "to get beefy!" One long conversation with EM at the old apartment regarding Emmett & monies and all the family history my sister recently shared.

Step count today: 12,782 for 5.2 Miles and 20 Flights. Still not running the steps because every day there's either a contractor or delivery happening in the morning.

But still getting my steps in.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

One daughter signed up for six months at the gym because she wants "to get beefy!"

Well, that's splendid!

David, I suspect you have people lined up, but if Matilda ever wants to try indoor rock climbing, give me a shout? I'm not beefy, but I've been doing it for 35 years or so, so I think I'm fairly safe.

I got home from work and went to sleep for 40 minutes. Dunno why, just wiped by just one day in the office.

Tomorrow I have to get up early bcz I set up a 7AM (!) meeting: had to get folks on the East Coast on. Anyway we get to argue about who goes to a pretty-important short-notice site visit in Seattle next week. I'm kind of hoping not me, except for the fabulous rooftop bar in the hotel we stayed in last month. And the prospect of maybe sneaking into the Pink Door for after-dinner drinks.
