Thrive to spite them

I love grocery delivery and have stuck with i. I have Wal mart plus which also gets me a discoint on gas. ALlthough since Food Lion opened I've been shopping in person there. They have better prices on some things and they also discount their meat and now that we have a chest freezer again I'm stocking up a bit.

One of M'a nieces stopped by to see his mom and say hi. His mom was fussing because the niece has to drive 40 mins to her job and her car doesn't have air conditioning. His mom wanted her to not go in (his niece is working for a house cleaning service and she had to drive that far today). Of course she wasn't going to not show up at her job so I lent her one of thr neck fans we have and gave her a bottle of electrolyte water and felt very Mother Hen-ish.

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

It’s great that Matilda wants to help, Hec.

Grocery delivery is everything in my life. I just can’t do the big shopping trips anymore.

Happy Anniversary to Gloomcookie and her DW! You are an adorable couple who deserve all the glitter and celebrating.

I just picked up ltc from dance camp, and she was telling her teacher all about her cousin Stitch who dances. She said we’re not blood related but she’s a “cousin of my heart”. Damn allergies. I love everything this community has given to me.

Aw, sj, that's so sweet. Sniff.

Happy Anniversary to both, Glam! I hear you on the sadmad.

So glad to hear of Tim's progress. I hope the PT and nurse visits are helpful and useful.

I'm doing more yardwork today. Who even am I?

Thinking of the Zmayhem household this morning and beaming love westward.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Pretty sure this group has been part of my life for at least as long as I've been married. Which is 25 years in October.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Cousin of the heart for sure!!

Congrats, Glam. With you on sadmad. Extra so now that I have a trans partner. In effing LA.

Why Monday, why? Already 3 practices with stupid issues, before 7:30 AM here!

This Monday is definitely for surviving. My assistant was moving like molasses in Jan despite my gentle exhortations to pick up the pace. She’s like me at that age, so it’s a wonderful opportunity (insert squinchy-eyes emoji here) to give my younger self grace while trying to establish boundaries and not micromanage.

This Monday is horrendous so far. We are 75% of the way through a project, and the client has decided now is the best time to question every single aspect of what we're doing.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

K and I are waiting for a train to take us home from a weekend con in NYC. Train is delayed, my foot hurts, but it was fun and we made a new friend, can't complain (much).

JZ, so good to see your pixels again!

The physical therapist is here asking all the intake questions, and Tim is constitutionally incapable of giving a simple answer to any question. The answer to "Do you use a CPAP machine?" has lasted for 3 minutes now (I set a timer). It's driving me insane to listen to, and I bet it's driving the PT nuts, too. I'm tempted to leave the room, except I feel like I should be here.

Our wings are not tired.

My cousins of the heart!

but it was fun and we made a new friend, can't complain (much).

Sorry about the issues, but yay for fun and adventure.
