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

I just stepped out to pick up lunch and just the seconds that I was actually outside between the buildings and the car (my car stayed relatively cool parked in the shade all morning) I determined that it remains Way Too Hot

And yet, hot and sour soup sounded really good for lunch. Haven't broken into it yet to confirm.

Eta: have tried the soup and it is good, although if I wasn't in air conditioning I might not be as pleased to eat it

That elixir sounds great. I do not have the ingredients but I want them! I’ve been making homemade lemonade (juicing lemons and making simple syrup) and diluting it by making Arnold Palmers, since otherwise it’s gone too quick! But now I really want ginger simple syrup.

Happy birthday flea!! Glad your fam is settling into the new digs?

Welcome back lisah! I too would be reluctant. Heck, I AM reluctant to be working even though I wasn’t anywhere exciting!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

HOORAY END OF CHEMO!!!!!!

In the course of which, with everyone in the family present and looking on, it was discovered that my mother had blocked my brother’s number, angrily, at some point, and then apparently forgotten about it. So, every time she reached out, he had been replying, including sending pictures. She didn’t receive any messages because she had him blocked. He didn’t notice she didn’t reply directly to anything he said because he’s kind of clueless and our mother is kind of non-sequitor-y over text in the normal way of things[....]Everyone found this hilarious except my mother, who was embarrassed. I am mostly just amazed she knows how to block people’s numbers.

O'Henry lives!

...and work air conditioner is not exactly working. It's not as hot inside as it is outside but it is unpleasantly warm. Bah.

Happy Birthday, flea!

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

Timelies all!

Happy Birthday flea!

We got home late last night. Mr. S had a total meltdown on the flight back. I need a vacation after my vacation.

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

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Oh shit, I need to schedule that booster.

Tim's parents' house got listed for sale today, and it's already had 2 showings today. That seems promising.

I just scheduled my booster for next week! Crossing my fingers it doesn’t hit too hard.

Happy birthday, flea! I hope it was a good one.

I ended up going to the gym tonight, but it was so warm all day, and kind of crowded, and we didn't climb very hard. But at least we went, so go us.

Ginger simple syrup is quite lovely; I might have to make some more soon. I did make my fruitcakes this weekend, and now I have to buy some more (cheap) brandy to dose it with over the next few months.
