Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I love jury duty! And actually just got a notice recently for the first time in at least 7 years. I asked to switch the location, which also switched the date, so I'm not actually going until next spring.

Happy Birthday, sj! Cake and confetti all around!

I've been called twice, I think, but neither time did anything go forward, so we just got sent home eventually.

What are people up to today and tomorrow? I have zero planned, but I will do a brief work thing today, and I think maybe clean out my closet. I cleaned out a junk drawer yesterday, so maybe I can ride that momentum.

And swim later.

I'm on my way today to my uncle and aunt's house on the ocean, where I hope it isn't too rainy for fireworks tonight.

Nice! Some of my most fun 4ths were at the beach.

Our wings are not tired.

What are people up to today and tomorrow?

Nothing fun! Taking my sister for surgery in a few minutes. It's been a process. I feel so bad for her. Hopefully recovery tomorrow won't be too hard on her. If all goes well that will be cause enough for celebration.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I woke up at 5:30 whyyyyy.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Happy Birthday, sj!!!

What are people up to today and tomorrow?

Working today, watching the Best Damn Parade tomorrow.

Happy Birthday sj!

I too woke up at ass o'clock this morning, but at least it let me get my garbage put out in time for the truck. I have now watered window garden and cactus seedlings, fed cats, and ordered replacement floodlight bulbs and 3 cubic feet of mulch that will hopefully make my backyard puddle/pond a much less hospitable place for mosquito breeding.

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

Happy sj day!

I am at work, actually in the office. There are 3 of us here so far, that I’ve seen. 2 from my department. I went to turn over my calendars to July and discovered that my 1-month calendar was Jan ‘22-Jun ‘23 and my 3-month calendar is inexplicably missing July from the current month series, so I feel like I should just go back to bed until August

That sounds like a good plan, t. But worries me that maybe your calendar makers know something about July that the rest of us don’t.

My counterpart in Europe has been very frustrating. She’s not keeping up to speed. And today I find she is inexplicably absent….and SPELLED MY NAME/EMAIL WRONG in her out of office. Wtf.
