My cat very much enjoys sitting on my recliner, but haaaaaates it when I un-recline it. But it's an old one, and so it makes a loud noise.
Love to recline!
To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I spotted a cartoon captioned "Indiana Jones and the Comfy Chair" - Indy in a recliner, hat and whip hanging on the wall, boots on the floor underneath.

Thrive to spite them
JZ I hope your stomach cooperates while you have friends visiting.
I got a call yesterday that the settlement check is ready. I go to the lawyers today and sign the paper work and I'm done. I dithered around and didn't get glasses under my current vision insurance. I may wait until I get a new job to get new ones. I'll see.
I've felt caught in limbo and I guess this will change. Once the check clears I'm paying off my credit card debt. I was dithering about having a larger chunk in my bank accounts vs having it all gone . So I thought of just paying off some of it. But I realized that paying it off means less going out each month so the amount in the bank won't go down as fast. And once I'm working again it means more of my paycheck is mine. Im also going to call Geico and pay off my car insurance.
And I'm going to mail off the things I've had since I went to Florida that I meant to send to people and haven't because I don't know why. I have weird anxiety about the post office.

Our wings are not tired.
There is a good size break for paying the auto insurance in full.

That seems like a good plan, askye.
I hope the stomach issues abate soon, JZ.
Work is worky, July is hot, Indy totally deserves the comfy chair at this point, and AO3 people are writing fic about Anonymous Sudan/AO3.
2023, bay-bee!

Anonymous Sudan/AO3?? Explain??
I am v relieved that I did not buy a new emergency plane ticket last night (I figured it would be just as expensive today, since yesterday was already less than a week away) and then this morning the strike was over! So hopefully all should be well by the time I fly Tuesday!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Anonymous Sudan is the group that took responsibility for the DDOS on AO3, though the speculation is that it's probably Russia behind the group.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Today is Mr. S's birthday. He turns 8. He'll be home for 2 nights starting tomorrow. We tried to ask him what he'd like to do on Saturday when we talked to him on Zoom today, but he wasn't very helpful. (His birthday party was going to be Saturday, but none of the kids we invited were available. So now the party is first weekend in August.)
