30th anniversary tour!

Update on the star tile for our bathroom remodel--we decided to go with the black on white version, and use it for the shower walls. Compromise! [link]

And we've now settled on pretty much everything but the paint color, which is OK to pick last because it's easy to get it locally. I foresee the usual debate where I prefer dark, rich hues and Dylan thinks they don't belong in so small a room. Odds are pretty good we compromise on sage green and I dig in my heels for the darkest shade of it I can find.

Ooh Jesse I’ll have to look into that!!

Welp. Matilda's boyfriend broke up with her today.

The timing is not great, Matilda's ex. You are officially a shit-bag for all eternity.

She's spending the night at Emmett's and has been crying for hours.

::deep breath::

This year is challenging.

Side note: I had my three month check up today on my melanoma removal at five months and my doctor carved a variety of chunks off me such that I was bleeding into my clothes on the way home and had to make a pitstop at my skincare aesthetician (not my dermatologist) to put new bandaids on me.

I'm not having a great day. A great month. A great year. So very little greatness going on.

shakes fist in general direction of Matilda's ex

Oh, David. That is not a good day. I hope tomorrow treats you more kindly.

I hope Matilda's heart recovers from this *exceedingly* ill-timed blow. And as for the ex-bf...I hope he has the day that he deserves. Jerk.

Oh no, David. What a jerk! They'd been together for a while, right? Ouch.

It is lovely that Emmett is such a source of comfort to her.

May today treat you all more kindly.

Hil, meant to say that I’m glad you listened to your body. Adjust wherever you can, I say.

I am... actually having a challenging day with DH. Or, we are with each other, I guess. Talking past each other seems to be the order of the day. Will try more mending tonight after swim.

Yeah, R and I are continuing to ease out of the honeymoon phase and into an actual LTR and we are definitely working through some things. Were you able to reconnect at least a bit?

Fie on Matilda’s ex. Cruel and thoughtless, or just can’t handle Big Emotions, or some of both. Regardless definitely not deserving of her greatness.

My brother’s GF dumped him a few weeks ago, so a couple months after our mom died the day before his 50th, and knowing he’s been depressed. She actually, I shit you not, told him he’d be happier if he smiled more at one point. She’s a psychiatrist - they can be so bad at peopling.

I think I had more meara but I have my first PT appt this morning and don’t want to be late.

Oh, David, I’m sorry for all the suck. I do want to get that in. More later.
