I'm just trying to tell you that we have nothing in common besides both of us liking your penis.

Thumbs up to all of that except the cold-having by Steph.

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

Timelies all!

Mr. S pulled the fire alarm at school today. It's not the first time he's done that. Sigh...one more week of school.

As for this weekend, nothing special planned. I do need to go to the library as a book I put on hold is in. It'll be the first time in a while, as all the library books I've read in the last year or so have been e-books.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Who's doing what this weekend?

I'm scheduled to be back at work on Monday, so I will be relaxing and resting as hard as I can. Except for the part where I have to zoom into an emergency vestry meeting for church on Sunday afternoon, unless someone has a time machine handy so I can go back to late 2021 and tell myself to say no when I'm asked to serve. (If nothing else, it's an object lesson in being willing to say no even when I'm feeling all flattered to be asked, not to mention the fact I was kinda raised and socialized to take on roles like this.)

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

So wished, Hec.

And so it was!

Nonetheless I had a hectic day. Had to leave this morning before Matilda did, so I had to prep all her breakfast and lunch etc and hope she self launched on time.

Did the infusion with bonus EKG (having to go to another floor! I thought we'd get lost in the shuffle for sure, but they had us in and out and back to the infusion in no time) and were out of the hospital by by 1ish (so 8:30 to 1pm).

Got JZ home and fed her lunch and tucked into bed. Then had to rush out and buy lunch for Emmett & Kalena who are quarantining with Covid and feeling miserable. Left house at 2:20, dropped their food by 2:40, and then picked Matilda up from school by 3pm.

Took her to her first therapy session, and then finally fed myself lunch (burrito) while I waited. Swung by Walgreens on the way back to collect her and loaded up on Gatorade.

Got Matilda, and drove by Emmett's and dropped off the Gatorade. Got home and made her a lamb burger for dinner and listened to her debrief on her therapy session. (She was annoyed because it stirred up feelings and she didn't know what to do with them. I told her therapy is supposed to do that.)

Realized we had no milk for tomorrow's coffee so made an extra outing to the local store, and picked up bonus chocolate for Matilda. And now I'm very tired, even though I didn't even do my run this morning.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

David, after that day, *you* need bonus chocolate!

I have settled on bonus cocktails.

Soon we will watch Poker Face and Owl House.

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

Bonus cocktails totally warranted

Low temp tomorrow is -7 (yes, NEGATIVE SEVEN DEGREES FARENHEIT), so I am staying in, thanks.

That was a busy day, Hec. I’m glad JZ’s treatment went well. And I hope Matilda’s therapy is useful. She’s had a fraught few years, and it’s good to have someone uninvolved to talk to about it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Who's doing what this weekend?

I have dinner plans tonight, when it should be all the way up in the teens, so maybe I will not cancel them! Tomorrow the regular church and band.
