Timelies all!

Mr. S's school had a Harvest Festival at a petting zoo/pumpkin patch about 30 minutes from here. He seemed to have a lot of fun running around with his classmates. So of course he had a meltdown on the way home. Sigh..

It's both a plus and minus that he feels you are a safe place to have the meltdowns. I'm sorry.

Argh. First the terrible pork, and then a terrible soccer game. My team lost, and it wasn’t even close. They looked terrible. What a bummer. I’m going to the finals next weekend and I had really hoped I’d be cheering them on!!

It won't help dinner tonight, but Blue Apron will refund or make good on the off pork.

Or they did when they sent me bad chicken once. It only happened once in the time I used them.

Well, twice but the other time was definitely me leaving the meal way too long to cook and my fault, not theirs.

All of this. It's rotten for you, but he does know that you are stable and won't abandon him. You are always there for him and he knows it. Which often means he's awful to you and that sucks so much for you. (((S)))

I probably waited too long to cook it, I won’t bother to ask for money back. But I did the other week when they forgot to put the cheese in the package….to make quesadillas.

Today we send the happiest birthday wishes to Kate P.! First, I hope you get some good answers and solutions for your mom's health. May the day be filled with love and treats, and may the year to come be a delight in countless ways.

Quesadillas without cheese is just sad.

DH spent the night in Georgia on his way up to cart some furniture and the dog south. The last few days he has developed a rash over much of his body so his doctor had me find a 24 hour pharmacy in northern FL along his route and called in a script. Of course he could have done something a couple days ago instead of Sunday afternoon, but yeah.

I spent much of yesterday packing and have quite a bit in the car already. I put the cat carrier open in the kitchen and the cat spent much of the day curled in it just in case I forgot her. Last year I had to disassemble my bed to capture her and corral her into it. She didn't give me a hard time when I put her in it to go to the vet either. Huh. That makes travel easier.

Off to the gym. Only a couple more days and I'll leave my entry chip behind.

So excited for you guys in your new place, Laura! Smooth travels, too.

Happy Birthday, KateP, and I hope they're figuring things out with your mom's health.

Our week with my friend staying here last week was fun, culminating with a small game night on Saturday. I worked most of the weekend, bah, but it's my own choice; I took on too many projects. Learning process.

This week is all work, my first swimming lesson (!), and then getting ready to leave for our vacation, yay.

A quesadilla without cheese is like... not a quesadilla.

Happy Birthday, Kate P!

I scrubbed the front of Mom's garage and painted the door and its frame this weekend, a task I'd been putting off throughout the hot summer. The weather was perfect for it, but the awesome cool temperature and breeze couldn't save me from aching back muscles I was previously unaware of possessing. Did not feel like going to see Black Adam as planned due to the uncooperative back, but I can do that Tuesday night.

I didn't realize Aldis Hodge was in Black Adam until I saw something online yesterday. Mr. The Rock *and* Aldis Hodge are more than enough to get me to see a comic-book movie.
