It took me into the evening to get around to it due to laziness, but I finally installed my triflora hanging planter in the kitchen. My first use of power tools in the new house seems to be a success, and only sweat was involved, not tears or blood!

I'm thinking catnip for one of the pots and basil or mint for another. Any recommendations for a flower that will do well indoors in a 3" pot?

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

Today we celebrate Cass! Happy birthday, Cass! I hope you are having a beautiful day and that the year to come is filled with delight.

It was a very nice birthday yesterday. Thank you.

Yes, it is a Monday, but there is still cause to celebrate! It is the day we send happy birthday wishes to P.M. Marc! I hope the day is filled with fun and that the world spoils you. May the year to come bring an abundance of joy.

and only sweat was involved, not tears or blood!

Another cause for celebration!

Happy Juneteenth! JZ has the day off.

Happy Birthday to Pleiades!

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

Happy birthday to Plei!

My work has elected to celebrate Juneteenth by giving us a list of local celebrations rather than a day off. Not really satisfactory. A *lot* of people have either taken the day off or are working from home (which I *hope* means they aren’t really working). Last year the company made a donation to BLM but they haven’t said anything like that this year

Yeah, my guess is that zero of my practices have the day off, hence no day off for me.

I would not have the day off if it weren’t for bereavement leave. But the client I work for has today off so hopefully not much going on—I did check my email and forward a few things this morning and update my out of office.

I hope it can be a quiet day for you meara so your body and mind can get some rest.

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

Timelies all!

Happy Birthday Plei!

Both Gary and I have today off, which is why we had Mr. S for two nights. However, Gary still had/has a work meeting this afternoon.
