I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Realized I had not done the agenda for our Friday 8:30 staff mtg.

Came in early to do it.

See email from boss at 11:15pm cancelling it.

See another email at 7am with her giving me tasks.

Le sigh

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

Sigh is right. Dang.

Oh how funny. One of my roommates from college just posted an Instagram story of a tweet…from Susan’s husband Dylan! I was like “wait a sec worlds colliding!”

Our wings are not tired.

Nice, meara! I love when I see things like that.

What's everyone doing this weekend? I just got back from visiting my MIL. Her birthday is next Friday and I'm not sure if I am going to be here or not because I want to get to Otter Lake. Anyway, I gave her 4 cans of brown bread with raisins which we both enjoyed as kids, and haven't seen in forever. It was a big hit. Also, dropped a big bin of clothes to donation. Mostly my weekend is going to be work and chores. If it is nice tomorrow maybe a swim.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

One of my roommates from college just posted an Instagram story of a tweet…from Susan’s husband Dylan!

Was it that Barbenheimer thing he posted yesterday?

To wit:

You’re all welcome, this is what I did when I was bored in a meeting:
I'M A BARBIE GIRL
IN OPPENHEIMER'S WORLD
NUCLEAR FISSION
IT'S A VISION
YOU CAN TOUCH MY HAIR
SPLIT ATOMS EVERYWHERE
INFATUATION
I DESTROY CREATION
CMON BARBIE LET'S BECOME DEATH

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Holy shit, that's awesome!

What's everyone doing this weekend?

JZ and I went to brunch this morning, have already sat around poolside reading and are going to see Asteroid City here in LA.

Tomorrow we fly home and deal with the fact that our wall mounted TV has pulled free and wrecked a bit of wall. (They saved the TV.)

Yikes to the TV.

Awesome tweet, heh.

What's everyone doing this weekend?

We went swimming and both got pedicures pre-noon. Then we did the puzzle, and I took a nap while he went for a massage, so it kind of turned into a super self-indulgent we-day, I guess. Then we have dinner out with some friends at 8. Not bad. Not bad at all.

Nothing on for tomorrow. Theoretically I want to cull clothes. Theoretically.

This is why I’m scared to mount a TV. Good luck!

I just got up to the cabin where it is lovely and peaceful, except for two dogs who are hunger striking. Stopped at a farmstand along the way and got a bunch of assorted green things and a cauliflower as big as your head.

(Mozzie wouldn’t eat last week and had a few bloody noses. So we gave him a bunch of turkey to get him to eat, and gave the other dog a bunch of turkey to avoid a complaint from the fairness committee. Now they’ve both decided this is their new standard of care. I wish them the best of luck with this.)

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I went to the museum with shrift! And another non-buffista friend. Then we had a great lunch and now I am on a slow Bart train home.

My niece is due in about a week so there is lots of phone checking on my future
