See, Vera? Dress yourself up; you get taken out somewhere fun.

I just RSVPd to my niece's wedding using a QR code. Truly, we live in the future.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I just talked to Tim, and he kept repeating how tired he was, how he just couldn't keep his eyes open, etc., and I said "Well 2 surgeries in 1 week will take it out of you," and then he muttered "I think it might be the dilaudid they just gave me." Gee, you THINK? I didn't laugh at him, but it was a near thing. I'm laughing now.

I'm taking the opportunity to do laundry and such today, but I will go over around dinnertime today to see him. Murderbiscuit is so confused and keeps giving me accusing looks that basically say "What have you done with Papa? Where have you hidden him?" And I tell him "Papa will be home soon," but he doesn't speak English, so he remains confused.

And I tell him "Papa will be home soon," but he doesn't speak English, so he remains confused.

My mother would point out the blame is in the wrong place, and he remains confused because you do not speak cat. (My mother always takes the side of the pets - see, also, "the dog needs more room" in the car, on the bed . . .)

Rainy day in Maine.

Are you on a trip, Sparky, or did I miss a whole move to Maine somehow...

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

So many things to respond to in this thread, but mostly I never knew I would feel such joy at a tuna melt.

Always Anti-fascist!

One day somebody is gonna catch me writing fiction with my advocate hat on. But it's better when it's wrong. The biggest surprise about disability rights as I leave my forties is how often "Nothing about me without me," feels like a threat more than a promise.

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

Timelies all!

Another weekend with Mr. S. We're having his birthday party tomorrow at SkyZone, which is all about trampolines.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I hope the party goes well. ltc’s kid’s party is tomorrow as well. At her karate studio.

I held my great-nephew this morning!

That's about all I got accomplished today. Currently watching the musical episode of SNW.
