I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

Or bats! I just had to have the cabin all resealed to oust a family of bats who took up residence this spring. (They’re protected so there’s an eviction moratorium until September.)

Timelies all!

Ugh. Mr. S woke up with a sore throat. No fever, and the COVID test was negative, so he went to school. Was still feeling poorly and went home early. Got him into the pediatrician's office where they determined it was a cold. Gave him a strep test, and that was negative. Unfortunately while we were waiting for the results, he had a meltdown. He had his tablet, but kept throwing it on the floor, to the point that it cracked in half. When I wouldn't give it back to him he started spitting at me and generally being aggressive. A nurse helped get him out to the car, but he wouldn't calm down. I ended up calling Gary and he and a different nurse got him calmed down by offering small bouncy balls.

And to top it all off, Gary leaves tomorrow afternoon for a business trip, and gets back Sunday evening. Sigh...

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Sheryl, that is so much for you to deal with and I wish there were something we could do in support.

Emailed my dr re: Tdap and got a referral for a booster, which is now scheduled for next Wednesday. So I can get my flu shot tomorrow with my Covid booster, or next Wednesday with the Tdap, or wait another week and get it at work. Oh, wait, no, I’ll be on vacation then. Tomorrow still seems like the best plan.

Thrive to spite them

David -the first season of GBBO is really different. There was a time limit on parts of the first challenge, they had a male voiceover and no star baker.

I found it on the Roku channel, so I'll have to give it a shot.

Also found all of Buffy on the Roku channel. Isn't it on Netflix?

Got the estimate from the Toyota dealer for a cat conv replacement, just waiting on insurance to approve and an estimate for how long it will take...looks like they will also update the shield, so maybe it will be better protected in the future, who knows?

Got my flu shot and Covid # 5 which means a new card, so that's exciting. Then took myself to the lobster food truck I've been meaning to check out for months (my tendency to decide at the last minute that no, I do not want to leave the house after all gets in the way of a lot of things) and am now enjoying some bisque which always makes me think of Elaine on Seinfeld yadda yadda yadda

Our wings are not tired.

How long do they estimate, -t?

Now I want lobster bisque. I'm so easily influenced.
