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...

Thrive to spite them

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

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Yay Jen!

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

Huh. Able to log in from my iPad. Maybe my phone is just being weird.

Howdy folks. I have Friday off and have booked to get a body scrub and massage at the Korean spa. Cant wait!!

Congratulations JenP!

My next door neighbor invited me over to try out the new bidet he just installed. Sadly, that was the highlight of my day.

Our wings are not tired.

Mmmm, body scrub. I should do that to reward myself after all my ick appointments. Not big on massage, but body scrub and/or facial are heaven for me.

Woo, bidet! Not sure about the whole neighbor invite thing. Ha! Just picturing my neighbor inviting me to try out their bidet. Nope, can't see it.

My exciting news is the guys are getting my sprinklers working again today. We have had very little rain and I have A LOT of flowers and trees that are thirsty. They moved my well pump and reran some of the lines when they installed my back hedge so stuff to be done. I'm psyched! No more using city water and hoses for watering.
