I'm sorry, Sheryl. I hope Gary's recovery is quick. I'm sure you are all exhausted.

Yay for passable muffuletta!

We've been having internet issues so we just replaced the modem. Hope that solves it.

Yesterday - laughing at COMM cheered me up greatly. Today I worked at the library & took out 3 books about breast cancer & The Emperor of All Maladies. My cousin says that reading about how terrible cancer treatment in the past was & how much better it is now was very comforting.

Also: Gud has an engaged daughter & an Instant Pot: amazing.

I also cannot believe that Matilda is old enough to be bothered with wisdom teeth. What is this thing called time?

Was it in the New York Times that sake we are languishing in the year where the calendar has no meaning?

It’s interesting that the US had the Kentucky Three Day event & Jersey Fresh but the UK cancelled Badminton & Burghley.

I also cannot believe that Matilda is old enough to be bothered with wisdom teeth.

To be fair, she's still only 14. It's just her mouth is crowded, she just finished orthodontia, her teeth are coming in at an angle, and their roots are not very deep so they should be easy to take out.

What is this thing called time?

She is however finishing her first year of high school. So time does keep on slipping....

sumi, I am so sorry to hear about your diagnosis. I join others in buckets of continues~ma and hopes for a an easy treatment to you.

And in a separate post: Karl and Glamcookie, happy belated birthdays!

I am def languishing. In part because I like to have a packed social calendar and right now I have just about nothing on the calendar. There’s no activities, most of my friends are still cautious, and I have a hard time planning anything for the future not knowing where we will be a month or three from now??? Ugh. But also worried about the dog when things do start opening up. He still doesn’t like being left at home even though he’s better about it.

If you really need a box, the dollar you spend on it will be worth the free space and declutter

Ooooooor, I could just wait for my next Amazon shipment to arrive because probably it’ll be real soon. I did actually use up one box today, to corral cleaning products beneath my sink! Everything got taken out because of the leaking disposal, so now trying to be less of a black hole in there.

Whew lord yes, let’s all break down and get out 3 or 4 boxes this week.

I have a slight sore throat. ISTG, if I got sick from having to go into the office this week, I'm gonna want to break something.

I also got some really upsetting family news this week. No one's dead or injured, but many years ago, a close family member was involved in something that would probably be prosecuted today. The news has come out, and it's just ugly and embarrassing.

Oh dear, Dana. I'm sorry.

And hope your throat is allergies! And/or, I often get a slight sore throat after wearing a mask all day because I talk weird with it on.
