Yes Plei, stress shopping seems totes appropriate. Also, Buffista sprog ages are mind-boggling.

I need to schedule the dentist too. On my list of before I head north tasks.

I'm not happy with my body today. A cold seems to be the gift with purchase from my flight home, and my hip just hurts. I think the painkiller is helping, but I keep twisting the wrong way and regretting it. I did take a nice nap, and DH is picking up takeout.

I just went to the dentist and feel like I got a bad grade because I had a cavity for the first time in several years! Boooooo

Grade grubbing at the Dentist!

So, Lola reached out to me directly. I'm meeting with her (and I hope her husband) on Monday.

She seems to be past the denial but still struggling with it and overwhelmed. Which is where you are when you get past denial.

Ooof, that is going to be a very difficult meeting, David.

So behind, but hugs/hairpats/high-fives to those who need/want them.

David, I am Here for the planning. Whatever you need. And I'm so sorry about Lola.

Yay on Nilly's eldest's bar mitzvah!

but I'm sulking about everything.

Ohhh hi friend, may I sit in the sulking corner with you.

I am so made at myself for being flakey and missing an event I had spent fair amount of $$ on. I’m not one to normally one to berate myself with inner head voice (generally anger is focused at others/the world) but I am STUCK on dumb dumb dummy dumb dumb on repeat.

Also I have a meeting in 30 minutes I am not prepared for. Off to cram.

Sitting on the edge of my seat here. Brendon lost his phone. Probably had it on top of the car and drove off. The car starts via Bluetooth, so we know he had it when he left. When he was leaving the dog park he couldn't start the car. No responses to my texts or calls to the phone by whoever has it. He tracked it to one place and a bit later it shows it is at a car repair place. He Has Gone There. I asked him to at least take his brother with him. (he didn't) Here's hoping it is a dog park person who has gone to work. I am not at all pleased with him going after it. Ugh. There is an upside and downside to the tracker.

Yikes Laura! Hopefully someone will look at his size and decide not to antagonize him.

I'm anxiously awaiting his call on my business phone since he has my cell.

Check in, Brendon!

I've been lax the last few days but I cleaned the kitchen and ran the dishwasher while Matilda was getting ready. (Matilda also made me do a Hype video to her friend Malia because Malia was not happy with her hair. "Hype her up!")

Now I'm off to run after faffing off for a couple days. Then my friend Jes is coming by in her car so we can go buy paint for the back stairs. She'll start doing some decorative painting today and I'm excited about that.

EM didn't come by this week because it was her birthday (we're taking her out to dinner tonight), so I'm going to have to do a few onerous tasks of my own.

Oh crud I just remembered I have a personal trainer session this afternoon. Good for my body (I haven’t worked out in over a week) but. Bad for my desire to be slothful!

Y’all may appreciate this: a whole bunch of videos of women draping saris in different regional ways. Fascinating to me.
