Timelies all!

Last night Mr. S just would not go to sleep. He was still up at midnight. Didn't stop him from getting up around 7:30 this morning. It's been raining most of the day, so you can imagine how much fun today's been,

Matildas summer sounds pretty awesome! Go her!

Casper and her friend are trying to friend-match us with the parents; they say we are both quiet nerdy couples who need more friends.

That is both adorable and hilarious. Hope you enjoy them.

I woke up and realized I was out of milk. So had to put clothes on to go get coffee or milk. Decided to hit Trader Joe’s and rectify the milk situation only to realize id left my wallet at home. Ugh.

Also, I haven’t read a paper book in forever, and realized yesterday I kinda DO need reading glasses, it’s just that I’ve been able to adjust font sizes on my iPad/kindle/phone!! Ageing is stupid.

Also also: where the heck is my debit card? I used it a few days ago at the store. Nobody else has used it since. But it's not in my phone case where I usually keep it. And I can't find it in any of my jacket or pants pockets. I put a pause on it online, and will get a new one if I have to, but I suspect it's just hiding in my house somewhere...

For the first time, my bread has failed to rise. Completely. I'm giving it another hour, but we may be eating very dense bread later.

Glad to hear of Matilda's return to seeing her friends, and, yeah, sounds like an excellent summer ahead. All good.

Hope it turns up, meara. I hate that kind of shit.

Had a totally relaxing afternoon. Did the crossword, and then we went to lunch at Jimmy's Old Town Tavern, which lived up to its name. Very much full of regulars. We sat in the room where the poker tournament was going on, as you do. A women's biking (motor) group was chatting in the bathroom. I had fish and chips in defiance of my gf life. Came home, napped, went out for ice cream, and now we're watching a movie. I anticipate an early bed time. Is good.

Hope it turns up, meara. I hate that kind of shit.

Conversely, I found a woman's wallet on the street and was able to track her down and call her today. So she is very happy to be getting it back.

I was able to find a lot of stuff off her driver's license, but couldn't get past pay sites to get her phone number. So, I played my ace in the hole - one of my Kenyon friends is a private detective and I had her look up the phone number. Which she tracked down and an email in about three minutes.

It is baffling to me when people do not carry emergency contact info in their wallets alongside their IDs.

Even my phone and iPad have “If found....” info on the lock screens.

Well her wallet was "Pure Hemp - Made in Nepal" so she might not exactly be the emergency contact forethinking type.

Hey, man, she trusted the universal karma, and it worked!

Good thing I had a PI on the case! Because I doubt she was going to check her FB message any time soon.
