Jen, congrats on the job!

I hope the people responsible for rejecting your medically necessary treatment get cicadas in their undies.

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.

and then there's the reluctant cicada

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...

YAY JenP.

Cindy I'm sorry your son is still having issues. I hope his doctors will come up with a medication that will work for him.

I am at Mom's! I came up today and I'm spending the night. We had lunch at our fave Mexican place and tomorrow we are going shopping.

So the chian I work for has decided to stop doing wellness checks and have signs that customers who aren't vaccinated don't have to wear masks and employees who are vaccinated don't have to wear them.

I haven't been. Most customers aren't wearing them. I plan on wearing masks when I go to other stores but it has been so hot and I'm a nicer person when my face isn't a sweaty mess behind the mask.

Update on my cousin...he has been swallowing thickened apple juice. And he's been moved to a different floor, where it is for people who are almost ready to go to rehab. Oh!!he took the cup and drank from it himself!

I also have another cousin who lives in Texas and has a son close to Jay's son's age and everyone is trying to coordinate Jay's son going out to Texas for most od the summer. Including a big camping trip.

Evander will be in NC in July. His godmother (not officially but that is the kind of role she plays.. )is going to have him for a week. I will try to work in time when I can see him. I can take off Wed he's here but he is also going to see his other grandmother.

And he passed his black belt test for Tae Kwan Do.

I have zero updates on my life. Except I have Tueadays off for awhile so I'm going pick a cookbook or magazine and try to cook through it on Tuesdays to try and get myself cooking

Timelies all!

Yay Jen!

Definitely hearing the cicadas around here, though I've only seen a few.

Congrats, JenP!!

That's great news about your cousin, Askye.
