Now tagless for your comfort.

David, I put a tiny, rose quartz heart for Jacqueline in the Temple of the Heart at Burning Man with a note: Jacqueline, you deserve more time. It’s so hard to let you go.

Please haunt David.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Please haunt David.

I welcome this haunting!

I told the lady at our local cafe, the owner. She's watched Matilda grow up from infancy.

She came around the counter and hugged me and started sobbing in my arms.

I have gone to see a friend’s son play baseball today. This is a Dominican youth league. He is not Dominican. He was told the game would start at 1. Game has still not started. There are no “officials”, no rules about when games get called if s team doesn’t show in a certain time. Players are just hanging out super casual, no sense of urgency or structure. I am going slightly crazy.

The two coaches are now arguing, players are laying in the field, again no officials stepping in to move the game along. Madness.

Our wings are not tired.

Ah, sounds like island rules to me.

I told the lady at our local cafe, the owner.

Hugs. Telling people is a tough one. Sending love.

Off to the annual huge volunteer fire department fundraising event. Last year we got Covid! Of course, that was from going to the bar after the event concluded. This year only the outdoor event and no bar hopping after!

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

I'm amazed you haven't stepped in to Whip things into shape, msbelle! Excellent restraint! Good for you!

(Though part of my brain thinks you should. Guess I don't embrace *all* the chaos!)

Oof, that is hard!

Good luck avoiding the 'rona this year, Laura!

Lol very Dominican of them but it would drive me nuts too msbelle.

I am in line to get into the soccer game, then heading home, grabbing the dog and some rice krispy treats and heading to two different bbqs. Hopefully I will still have energy—I was impressed last night we watched TWO movies (death becomes her and Clue) for a friend’s birthday. I didn’t get home until after MIDNIGHT. WILD.
