Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yay Jen!!
Why is my shoulder weirdly super annoyingly painful? Like, it’s not that painful on a 1-10 scale. But it’s just continuing to be painful and I can’t figure out a way to stretch it or ice it or whatever that relieves it and that is obnoxious, especially since I can’t figure out why it hurts. I think I’m just getting old and I hate it.

Our wings are not tired.
Awesome Jen! Insurance companies need some serious smiting.
Happy to share tips and recipes from my high protein/no carb diet.
Always happy to get these. This time around I want to get better about making X number of servings then actually freezing and labeling the leftovers. I have a habit of freezing leftovers but then have no clue what that frozen thing is until I defrost it.
I don't think we anticipate any cicadas here or in Otter Lake. My sister did report that the black flies were particularly vicious this year so I won't go north until they die off. She also reported that the extreme mouse population explosion of last summer doesn't appear to be happening this year, but there have been reports of moles.

What is even happening?
Jen, congrats on the job!
I hope the people responsible for rejecting your medically necessary treatment get cicadas in their undies.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
Hooray, Jen!!!
Occasional Yard Guy made a HUGE amount of headway in the backyard. He should be able to finish up tomorrow; then we need to put down some grass seed (or decide we want to put down pavers over part of it) and then a border of mulch along the fence. Then I'm getting that hammock. Which I will not be able to use until the cicadas are gone (they're already so loud, and it's not even Memorial Day—I forgot how loud they get).

Holy shit. I am beyond excited.
Congratulations! That's so great.

Thanks, all.
cicadas in their undies
...that made me laugh so hard. I want to remember that curse.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
and then there's the reluctant cicada

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Congrats, JenP!

Thanks, -t! DP suggested we celebrate -- with dinner. Out. What a concept! I think I remember how to eat in public. We'll see...
