The problem with being on Prednisone is that I feel slightly more energetic, so I want to get up and Do Things. I realize this is a bad idea, but the urge is there.
We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

I am delighted for you, and also full of envy.
You would have slayed there and soaked it all up.
Maybe we can get you down for next year. I feel like more people need to go.

It looked sumptuous. So cool!
Went to my cousin's (well, 1st cousin, once removed) wedding shower yesterday, which was lovely. Also met her brother's prospective in-laws, too, who were delightful. My cousin (their mom) seems to have landed good in-laws all around for both children, which makes me happy. And happy for both "kids," too, obviously.
Today I pack to leave for a week away. I need to remember that there's a washing machine, so I can and should repeat/mix-match separates!

But, oh, I had such a huge pang in my heart that Jacqueline never got to go. It was so very much her aesthetic and she would've been giddy with it.
Oh, yes. So true and hard. I'm glad you went.
Atropa, do not taunt happy fun body. Let yourself rest. Erika is wise.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Brought my car in yesterday for regular service, which was free of charge. Unfortunately, my tires had dry rot, so I had to replace them. Sigh…

ltc is finally healthy enough to go back to school tomorrow, but there will probably be a delay or a snow day. Because of course. I’m feeling mostly better but have arranged to have therapy electronically tomorrow because I’m still out of spoons.

I finished off a pan of brownies for breakfast while sitting in a meeting about the infuriating Canadian clients, as preparation for the meeting later today with the infuriating Canadian clients. So that's how this morning is going.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Ugh. I've got a jillionty bills to pay this morning and thought, "Well, let's get the Mortgage taken care of because you never want to be late on that." And my mortgage company has changed to an LLC and their online payment system is entirely new and not up and functional and they want me to send a check like I'm a godddamn Fuller Brush Salesman in 1951.

So retro!
Tim has jury duty this week (today is day 1, obviously), and he's already been called for voir dire. He is VERY excited about it. If he gets seated on a jury and it goes to trial, I guarantee he'll be the jury foreman. He'll also have 11 new best friends.
