Rainy Memorial Day weekend here. Yesterday I went to a dinner for highschool friend’s birthday outside of DC. Really lovely to see and hug people.
Today I am going to cook and clean.
I already know what I'm gonna call her. Got a name all picked out...

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
Good morning! To those of you hoping to leave Bainbridge Island by ferry today, hope you like queueing: the smaller boat that replaced the one that's out for six months due to an engine fire is itself out, and has been replaced with an even smaller boat. What this means in practice is that 58 fewer vehicles will be boarding on every other crossing.
Bev and I had the most fun of all funs to be had, with bonus long drives in the Mini, a stop for Top Pot donuts and time at the Skagit Valley Co-op. Today Jim and I are relaxing/hiding from visitors and will only leave to get milk. Now for waffles!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
The day started out well, with me sleeping until just before the alarm, and Mr. S not getting up until after 8, but alas, no. He's been disruptive and annoying all day.

I'm doing a bunch of cleaning/clearing out this weekend, and I just spent an hour going through stacks of old photos. WHY did I waste so much film on scenery, past me? I tossed all of those.
Now I have to figure out if it's worth getting the remaining photos scanned. I have some nice pics of folks I went to law school with, 30 years ago...

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
parker and her spouse are the best guests! There were indeed, many hugs. And much laughter as well.
After such a long drought, one visit and I'm spoiled. I like this hugging stuff!

Our wings are not tired.
Hugs are the best! It pleases me so to visualize you enjoying each others company.
I had hugs yesterday as well! Old neighbors and friends enjoyed food and socialization. Fed my grandson and rocked him to sleep. His mom was working remotely the whole day, and is today as well. Her schedule is now Sunday-Thursday. DH and I work today as well, but that is a 365 day a year thing. Also doing housework and preparing food stuffs for the billiard boys later.

Thrive to spite them
We are scheduled like it is a typical Monday. It is not as busy as Sat and Sunday we're but it's not the typical Monday.
We are a stressed out mess today.
Last night M's mom got mad at Scrappy the cat and threw him outside and said he was going to be an outside cat now. Scrappy jumped Penny I think. This morning Scrappy was crying and scratching at the door so she let him back in.
There is more cat drama but it's boring really.
Dad might come up for my birthday.
That's all that has been happening with me

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I always hate that, askye. I've especially noticed it at movie theaters over the years -- Sunday night of a long weekend is staffed like any Sunday night, when it's way more crowded than that.
I had a nice indoor cookout (cooked out, ate in) with family today, but here was the shocking thing: NO ONE in the room had seen Lilo and Stitch! (My age, 13, parents of 20-something, none of them!) None of them knew what ohana means! I really feel like I've somehow failed them all.

Jesse that is surprising!! But what a treat they have in store!!
I got bored just now and moved all the furniture in my living room around. Not going to work for the long haul since I put the couch in front of/blocking the fireplace, but it’ll do for summer and for a change!
