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

Timelies all!

Another awful day here. Mr. S woke up a little before 5 because he had an accident which we had to help clean up. Went back to sleep for a bit, then had waffles for breakfast. The rest of the morning went ok, I did grocery shopping and Gary took Mr. S to get his COVID booster.

After lunch...not so much. First, the kids that Mr. S wanted to play with ended up having other plans. Then Gary took him to a playground about a mile away. That started out ok, but then Mr. S ran off and went into another meltdown such that Gary had to call 911 and they took Mr. S to the ER, again. That's twice in less than a week.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

aurelia, where the Fed and state are concerned, I strongly recommend contacting your House Rep office.

Thanks for that tip. I have a long-serving rep, so her staff shouldn't have a learning curve on this sort of thing.

(I saw some tweets about staffers trying to contact the IRS and other agencies, and the agencies writing back that since the member was actually still just a member-elect, they couldn't do anything. Hot mess.)

Again... oy.

My accomplishments for the day are getting my bi-valent booster and deleting some 2000 emails.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It was my aunt's wake today and then 30 people came back to the house, and by the time they left and we cleaned up, it was like 4pm and I still went for a walk and then I cooked dinner, and I have bread rising! Phew.

Edit: I should say, wake in lieu of anything else. She didn't want a service or anything.

Today has been better, though the day's not over yet.

Last night I went out for dinner, and while I was sitting in a booth with a drink, napkin, and cutlery a waitress (not the one who took my order) stopped to confirm my order was to go. I guess I didn't dress elegantly enough to fit in with the swanky Cheddars bar crowd!

Lol Matt. But do you really WANT to fit in with them??

I just finished my second appointment with my new therapist. I like her so far, but therapy is hard and I’m now exhausted.

Always Anti-fascist!

Me too, Cash. Seriously, things were hard enough, before. And I really don't need character this badly. Sigh.

The other people in the bar were either throwing back shots like it was a minute to closing time, or accompanied by their shrieking kindergartners. So no, no I do not.
