Timelies all!
The weekend with Mr. S went pretty well(other than him waking us up at 6 Saturday morning). No meltdowns at bedtime(although he didn't get to sleep before 10 either night. We need to work on that for when he gets discharged)
Yesterday was rather unpleasant, weather-wise. Didn't help that our ac wasn't working very well.(As in, the fan was working, but we weren't getting cool air.) Amazingly enough, turning the ac off for a bit, then turning it back on rebooted it, and by 3 am it was cool enough to get under the covers. Also, the power went out for a bit in the afternoon.(thunderstorms) Much more pleasant today.

Sometimes an a/c unit can freeze up -- and the moisture from the thunderstorm, plus moisture from humidity, makes it easier to freeze. Shutting it all off for a bit lets the frozen stuff melt and then it works like normal again.
It's okay, Java. We can see other websites(and the vibe is completely different there, in both good and bad ways...it's not like cheating on us.)
Health~ma for your mom, erikaj.
Hi, all. I’m back from my Denver work trip and utterly wiped out. I looked at my steps tracker and realized I’d walked about 3x as much as usual, an inadvisable amount in 90+F temps. It’s so dry in Denver I really overextended myself. But the Botanical Gardens there are pretty awesome.
We're busy with last-minute stuff to get ready for Tim's surgery #1 tomorrow (well, mostly to get ready for Tim to come *home* from surgery, hopefully Friday or Saturday). Tim's brothers came over today to help with some handyman projects that Tim can't currently do, which was a big help.
It’s so dry in Denver I really overextended myself.
My brother always grumbles "It's hot and dry in Denver because we're only 2 miles away from the surface of the sun!"
And an irreplaceable window into perspectives and viewpoints that don’t get a lot of air or depth, most especially for me Disability Twitter, J Twitter, and Black Twitter.
Yeah, Black Twitter has been really valuable for me to follow and read. (I don't really pipe in there, I'm just there to listen and soak up the perspective.)
I also use baseball twitter a lot, especially to follow and interact with local writers and analysts, as well as the minor league announcers for the A's affiliates (they're really fun!).
Classic Film twitter is another big stream for me, which is often where I'll intersect with Sylvie.

Ha!
Teppy - hope all goes super smoothly for Tim’s surgeries!!
Just chiming in to agree with everything everyone has said about Twitter, and about the frustration of the greatest voices just scattering to the winds with no consensus on where to land.
I'm feeling much better, but so tired. I never want to go through a dehydration episode again.
